Hello,
My name is Katie. This blog shows the creation of my A2 media Course work. I have created a Pop music video for Taylor Swift - If this was a movie showing a girl looking back on her past relationship. I have researched existing music videos, artists and products to gain ideas of how to plan and constructed a finished music video, Advert and Digi Pak. Hope you enjoy it.

Research and Planning - copyright issues
I sent a letter to Taylor Swifts record label as i needed to seek permission for using Taylor Swidt song "if this was a movie".
Below is the contents of my letter
To whom this may concern,
My name is Katie Owen I am currently studying A2 media. As part of my coursework I am making a music video and hope to create a video for a fictional artist to the Taylor Swift song “if this was a movie”.
For copy right issues, I would like to receive permission from you to use this track for my video, it will be put on You Tube in order to gain feedback this will add to my overall mark.
I hope this is not a problem and I am able to use the song for my video.
Thank you for your time and consideration
Yours sincerely

Construction - First Edit Of Music Video
This is the first edit of my music video i posted it on you tube to recieve feedback and i also asked the class for feedback.
Feedback from youtube viewers:
I recieved feedback from YouTube viewers, givng me pros and cons about my video.
Some viwers said my clips were too fast, this will help me when editing my video as i want it to flow and be easy to watch linking each shot.
Feedback from the class:
After showing my video to the class they said some clips were a bit too fast for the genre of music. I will slightly slow down the pans and zooms to set the mood of a love narrative. As the song is about a break up and the music is slow the speed of the video and edits need to fit.

Construction - Final Digi Pak
< ----Front Cover 
This is my final Digi Pak i have created on photoshop for my artist Emma Jones. The front cover shows a close up of the artist with light shining on her face. This relates to the Pop genre and that the main character needs to be the focus. The light also links to the sun, something featured in my music video that also shows a main focus on the artist. The Colour scheme, shades of purple and the use of flowers give a girly feel as the target audience are teenage girls. The Font also gives a girly feel as it is curly, a typical stereotype of what girls like from curly font to pink flowers. The "Unbreakable" text is much more structured and relates to what it says unbreakable.<---- Booklet inside page 1
This is the first page of the inside leaflet for my digi pak. I have made it so it takes aspects of the front cover. This is because i want the whole digi pak to fit and have a flow to it. By adding a lens flare on top of the Emma Jones image it give that sunlight effect and adds slight purple. I also added lyrics from the song i used for my music video, i really like how this can relate to fans as they will read the line and remember the song making them want to listen to it.
<-----Booklet inside page 2
This second page shows a collection of images that i created to look like Polaroids. This relates to the idea of the artists being the main focus and the need for close ups in the Pop genre. By making the images look like Polaroids it gives a creative style rather than a normal collage.
<------ Booklet inside page 3
Page 3 had three images looking in to each other. This draws the viewer in to focus on the artist. Lens flares in the left image make it more interesting and shows the artist shines, this is also show in the "if this was a movie" music video when the sunlight shines on Emma Jones face. By adding the lyrics is reinforces a link between the digi pak and the music video.
<----- Booklet inside page 4Image 4 is very simple and is the last page of the booklet. By darkening the edges it draws you into the artist and again shows her importance.
<----- Back
This is the back of the digi pak. I have used an image that is similar to a clip in my music video showing Emma Jones on a hill. I slightly blurred the image to make the text stand out as i feel the songs are a very important part of the album and Emma Jones is very passionate about her music.
This is the side of the digi pak it it very clear and simple. The white on black stands out. this
makes it easy to read when on a store shelf.

This is the background that goes under the CD holder.
