Evaluation: Question 1





Bastille Pompeii

Camera shot from behind the main artist, highlighting the skyline or city. This was a source of inspiration for including the urban vibe, which we had similar shots to


W


in various shots of this music video, the camera person follows the main artist, this gives the feeling as if the audience is their with the artist, bridging the gap between audience and artist and making them feel closer. We had this present within our music video where the camera was following our artist.

we had the the camera move along with the artist, but  slightly slower paced due to the artists feelings and surroundings.

The 1975 - The City

Initially wanted to have a similar scene to this, but due to not using black and white filters we had to make our own style. which is shown below.



I followed conventions in all of our production pieces, the video conventions are talked about above. For the Ancillary, I included everything a typical ancillary production will have, and then some. For example, The additional content sticker on the digipak is not essential, however it shows that it has bonus content which can attract an audience.



I included all the conventional logos you see on the back and down the spine to give the digipak production a real genuine feel.



Evaluation: Question 2





The gif below highlights the scenes within the music video which have graffiti or an urban vibe to it, which is then briefly compared to the font and digipak, having this at a decent speed can one after the after can help see the link between the products.










Work that has influenced meThe original artists album cover was the source of my inspiration as the artist Skream is one of the most popular artists within the dubstep genre, spearheading it into the charts.
You can see a clear link between Skreams cover and my artist BL4KE's cover, similar font, colour scheme and a mysteriousness about the artist.



Once again, yellow seems to be consistent within the dubstep genre as yellow is not really a colour mainstream artists tend to use, this helps keep dubstep underground and different from the other genres. 


Example here is showing his face, and half of it also is dark. Which once again keeps it mysterious, which is exactly what i was looking to do with my ancillary work. My artist is visible but looking away at the same time. This is also present in my music video for example

You can see BL4KE's face, but its also mysterious at the same time due to the lighting.


All in all, i believe that the combination of my music video and ancillary products have proved effective in creating a mysterious yet urban vibe to it. Which is presented in the screenshots above.
