Improvements for Website...

 I used Wix, which is a website creator, I found the website easy to use at first, but when it came to uploading images or just maneovuring around the website it was a little tricky.
I think I could of put a lot more detail into the last pages of the website. However, I do think the whole thing has come together quite well and shows the groups teamwork, as we have each incorporated a little of each others work in our own. I think that the website could of had a lot more secondary colours on it rather than just pink to help it look less loud and bold. But I also think that everything on the pages goes together well.

Digipak Feedback...

This is some feedback on Facebook for the Digipak Abi made.

Digipak (2)

This is our final design for our digipak, we're using this one because we feel that it has more detail than the six panel digipak. In my opinion, it does look a lot better and it does resemble a real digipak, so I'm really please with the outcome.

Digipak (1)

This is our first 6 panel digipak. We liked this idea, because it showed shots from the video and there were enough panels to show the different scenes too. However, we found that the back of digipak looked quite bare compared to the rest of it, which is why we decided to go with a four panel digipak.
One thing we all agreed on was that the front page of the digipak looks really good because of the overlapping shots of Chloe and the signature in the middle.

Website: Tour...

For the 'Tour' page, again I kept the layout and colour scheme the same, but put the title in a bigger font. I did this because the tour is one of the most important things an artist has to promote, to get a bigger fan base and a bigger target audience.

Website: Latest News...

For the 'Latest News' page, I used the album cover to show that the album was being released, and the signature to show the photoshoot. I used these images because I've seen other websites do the same, as it makes the consumer more aware of the artists 'life'.

Website: Merchandise...

I had slight difficulties with the merchandise that Fatima made as some of them wouldn't upload, which was really annoying. The ones that did upload looked really good and worked well with the colours and the logo. When you click on the picture a shopping basket comes up and you have the choice of choosing more than, which looks really good.



Website: Gallery...

For the 'Gallery', I chose 9 pictures from the 'behind the scenes' photoshoot as they looked really good. They came with the option to label them so I came up with short, generic titles, that made looking through the Gallery enjoyable.
I chose the ones with Chloe in so that the consumer is mainly focused on her and the album release.

Website: About Me...

For the 'About Me' page, I wanted to keep it simple, so I decided to keep everything the same. I wrote a little bit about the artist, which is always interesting for the consumer, as they like to know how they started off and the progression of unfamous to famous so that they can relate to the artist. This then gets the artists more fans. Using the signature, makes it seem more authentic to the consumer, as they feel like the artist cares about them.



Website: Front Page...


For the front page of the website, we needed to have a matching colour scheme throughout, so I tried to match the colour of the lips in the album cover to the rest of the 'pinks' for the logo and the various links. I think that the pink works well with the rest of website because it connotes romance and love, which then links to our music video and the genre.
I used an effect on the border of the logo, so that it looked as if it was sellotaped to the background, creating a rustic diary effect. I also angled it horizonatally, as it gave a really nice effect.
The social networks are all lined up so that the consumer can click on them if they need to, they're also all pink to continue with the theme.
I've placed the album cover on the front page because thats the first thing that the consumer has to see, so that they will buy it or let everyone else know.
At the bottom of the page, there is also option to sign up, I used this feature because it is part of most websites to give the consumer updates in any way they choose.
The buttons on the front page are also a main feature of the website as they are pink,but when they are hovered over they turn into a lighter pink and the text turns white. The font choice is 'Frederika the Great', I chose this font because it looks handwritten and rustic just like the logo's 'D'.
I chose the background because it lookslike a collection of 'doodles', which reflects the title and the genre of the song, with connotations of daydreaming and romance.






Rough Edit Feedback...

This is someof audience feedback, with this we now know what to work on with our final video.

Our Website...


Our website has turnt out well for our music video.

However, one thing that annoyed me about it, was the fact that the background for the website would fade, even if you've adjusted it over and over again.

I chose a doodle background because it has connotations of daydreams and doodling when you're in love. I chose the colour scheme of pink because her lipstick is pink and so is the logo.

Production Diary Log (1)...






These are pictures from our first day of filming.

Chloe and I are pictured going through lyrics and asking if anything needs to be done to make her comfortable, such as the spotlights.


We initially started off filming in the green screen room, but later on, ideas changed and we decided to cut out the performing on a stage idea and keep performance/lip syncing to a minimum.
