ANCILLARY TASK - Poster!

The reason why I chose not to use this poster for my final finished ancillary task was that when I did audience re-search the feedback I received was that they thought my poster looked 'too cramped' they didn't know where to look. Therefore, they thought it would be best if I made it look more simplistic.

Step One

The initial step was to cut out the image by using the Lasso Tool. I also changed the brightness and contrast to make it stands out more. Here is the original in comparison to the new one.
The idea behind the image is that she is rising from the grave which connotes her immortality and that in fact the 'R.I.P' is ironic as because in the video she continues to be chased by villagers and therefore, never finding freedom. Of course it is ironic as she is a vampire.

Step Two

As for the second step I placed some information in the grave stone. I decided to put the effect of a glow on as it made it look more spiritual which linked with the theme. It also made it stand out more.

Step Three

The next step I placed some information on it. Such as, how much the single is and so on.

Step Four

As for the final steps I placed some images of the eyes around as I thought it was too bare.

ANCILLARY TASK - Inside The Front Cover

Step One

The first initial step in the creation of the inside of my Digipak was to create a CD. To do this I used the Ellipse Tool to create a circle. I repeated this action and created a smaller one and placed it in the centre.

Step Two

The second step in the creation of my CD was to place the image in the centre of the CD. I decided to use an image I had found on the Internet of three black roses as it linked with the theme of the album. I used the Lasso Tool to cut some of the image to make it look different and more unique. Here is the original and the real one.

Step Three

As for the next step I gathered another image from the Internet and layered it under the other image to give it more depth.

Step Four

The final step for part was adding all the relevant information onto the CD.

RE-SEARCH AND PLANNING - Analysis of music videos

Although an R+B song, the video has a style of a horror video, which breaks the typical conventions.

The opening shot dennotes a mirror that suggests she's fighting herself trying to fight off sexual urges she has towards a man. Nevertheless, before hand the audience sees a shadow that suggets she running from someone else.

The dark lighting trhoughout the music video continues to link with the theme of a horror style video.

The provocative costume also links with the sexual theme through the course of the video
