Analysing Existing digipaks

Diary: Thursday 27th September

Over the past few days i have emailed the band First Aid Kit to ask their permission to use their song 'King of the World' in my music video. I have also researched into the edirting software that i will be using throughout the production of my music video, i will be using the programmes Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects. I have experiences using some of these programmes such as photoshop, which i aquired the skills of using last year whilst creating my magazine. I have also analysed some albums digipaks to establish an initial idea of the sorts of things that i will need to include i my digipak when i make it.

Editing Software

Adobe Photoshop CS3

I will be using Photoshop mainly to edit my photos from the photoshoot that will appear on my digipaks and my magazine advert.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

I will be using to edit my music video throughout the project, I only have basic skills at the moment, but hope to use this coursework to imporve my skills.

Adobe After Effects CS3

I will also be using this programme to add effects to my video.

Email the artist for permission

Today I emailed the duo 'First Aid Kit' to ask their permission to use their song 'King of the World' in my music video.

Research into relevant music genre: Indie Folk

Diary: Monday 24th September

I have soent the last few days researching into the genre relevant to my music video which is Indie Folk. This has shown me the artists that current artists of the genre have got their inspiration from such as Jeff Buckley. It has also shown me the types of instruments that are used within the genre, this has given me an idea of the sorts of instruments that are probably used in the song i have chosen. Most performance based music videos in the genre will show the artists using these instuments, if i do a perfromance based video i would like to do the same thing.
