Band Member Changes
Due to various reasons we were unable to use the people who we had said we shall be using in a previous blog post. As we couldn't use these people we found alternatives who we used for the draft video which actually worked well. For the final video we will be using these same people excluding the drummer in the draft as we feel that we could achieve a better effective video if the drummer can actually play the instrument and in time the the song. The only change to the two guitarists in the draft video for the final video is we will dress them in something a bit more suited to the style to match the genre of music better.

Main inspiration
The Arctic Monkeys album 'suck it and see' has inspired me greatly when creating my own digipak and poster. The minimal layout is striking and makes the viewer notice whats important, the band and their album. Also I like the colour scheme evolving around two main colours instead of three although I have still used the conventional three.
Work for Friday 1st November
- Film and edit draft video
- Begin improving digipak and poster
- Post on digipak/poster feedback
- Test shots post
Digipak and poster feedback
Digipak- 6/10
I need to add the catalogue number and band name to the spine and include a larger track listing. Also the OS panel could be moved to the centre panel to make it stand out more. More research is also needed to get a higher mark.
Poster- 6/10
Just needs a lot more evidence to show that it is a realistic poster that matches my genre. With the added evidence it could easily get a better grade.

Draft Digipak/Poster Feedback
Digipak Feedback:
The feedback which i have been given is very useful and clear to me of what is needed to achieve a better grade on both poster and digipak. Firstly the digipak was scored 6/10 which is a D grade. The feedback that i was given to improve this grade is that i will need to add a record label to the back of the digipak and add more detailed research to make it as realistic as possible. For my final digipak i shall research more into real digipak's similar to my style and genre of music and adapt it to mine which will make it as real as it can be. Also i will add suitable record labels to the back of the cover. Another piece of feedback which i have been given is to change the pattern which is on the inside cover to the front panel. This image could become so recognised by the audience that straight away seeing this image they will know the band. e.g Arctic Monkeys latest album AM artwork is so recognised the target audience all know straight away whose music it is.
Poster Feedback:
The feedback given for my poster is also very clear and easy for my to understand what i need to change for the final poster. I scored 2/10 for my poster which is an E grade. Similar to the digipak i need to apply detailed research to my poster and give evidence that this style matches my genre of music, band and will appeal to the target audience. For my final poster i shall study into real poster for my genre of music and apply this look to my poster. I will also add ratings from well known music company's like NME and Q and dates of album release dates etc.
