Construction - Final Front Cover

This is my Emma Jones Album cover i have created a girly feel to it as it relates to the target audience of teenage girls. I also used curly font as it is stereotypically they type of text girls like and the Pop genre is very stereotypical and the light shining onto the artist shows she is the main focus something Pop uses a lot by close ups in music videos. 

Step by Step of how i make the cover:

I first made the background purple

I then added clouds my clicking filter > render > clouds

After this i added an image of the artist Emma Jones and made the opacity very low

to made it slighting fade to the background. Flowers where then added and blended using 

the opacity and making it lower. Before finishing i adjusted the light and made it brighter 

over the subject i did this by clicking filter > render > lighting effects.

Research and Planning - Anamatic - Plan for music video

As part of planning my music video i created an anamatic to give me an idea of what my music video would look like and if it worked. I drew quick drawings of my ideas and used movie maker to edit them together. I found it quite hard to put my idea on paper and although i have an idea of what my video will look like i think i will find it much easier to film each section from my ideas in my head rather than from this anamatic, but this is a rough idea of what my music video will look like. By planning it will make me prepared for when I'm filming and if i take the drawings with me i can refer to them to make sure i have each section for the video.

Research and planninf - Lyric Deconstruction

I have deconstructed the lyrics from the song i am creating a music video for. By writing what comes to mind for a music video when reading the lyrics it has helped me to plan my music video. I have gained a lot of ideas for the video and how i can use inspiration from Taylor swifts music videos on showing the loss of someone you love.

Research and planning - Audience Profile

This mood board is showing the audience that artists Emma Jones would most likely appeal to. The mood board shows the likes of a typical teenage girl for example watching tv shows such as Xfactor and Britians got talent and listening to music something that Emma Jones' audience love as they have passion for music. Common teenage likes such as going shopping with friends, having a pizza and a movies and gossiping about boys, this all relates to the targeted audience as Emma Jones was once that girl that had a passion for music, never gave up, loves her friends and was a typical teenager. I think it is good that an artist can relate to their audience as it gives a connection between fans and the artist.

Research and planning - Pitch Board

This is my pitch board showing my idea of the surroundings, location and mise en scene for my music video. The board creates a love feel that is typical of a pop music video. The use of flowers and sunshine is featured a lot in the pop genre and in artists music videos such a Taylor Swift, she creates a girly love and romance feel to her videos and i feel this will really work in my music video as the artist i have created relates to teenage girls who fantasise about fairytale love. The woods represents lost and links to the music video and it is about a break up. Walking in a big field and swinging alone on a swing shows the idea of thinking and wondering, this also relates to a break up as it gives you time to think and the idea of wonder shows the what if side and how you want the person back who you have broken up with.

Research and planning - Directors Pitch

1. Ideas for the video - concept: My idea for my own music video is to produce a stereotypical Pop video that relate to many artists videos such as Taylor Swift and Colbie Calliat. This is because i believe that this way really works to attract the correct audience (Teenage Girls). By using a boy and a girl to create a love feeling in the video will help show that teenage heart break and how people miss what they had, this can be done by using flash backs of a girl and boy together holding hands and laughing, then showing a girl on her own looking sad and the lyrics can relate to her. Locations such as a field or a park would be ideal for the music video as teenages tend to hang around in the park or on a field and the audience will relate to this as it may bring back a memory of there first love or crush. This location also relates to many pop videos such as Taylor Swift - back to december music video and many of her other music videos.

2. Intertextual references - I can use intertextual references by reminding the audience of a memory such as their first crush or other music videos such as Taylor Swift - back to december when it shows memories that taylor has.

3. Locations / Special features needed: The location for the music video will be in a field and by a llake. Speacial features need are editing such as filters fades, a sunny day will be needed as i want to catch the sun on the artits face as she is the main focus and also so i can film zooming into the sun.

Contact sheet - Images

From all my research on websites, adverts and front covers i have decided to create an advert rather than a website this is because my artists Emma Jones is a new artist and needs to be noticed, by creating an advert it will raise awareness to potential fans. Instead of a website i will create a facebook page that will show information about my artist and will be a way for fans to connect to Emma. I will also create a front cover of Emma's Album and a Digi pack.

Potential images to be used for Advert, Album cover and Digi pack:
