(Production) Reflection blog week 13

This week:

My partner and I had a discussion about what we needed to add/change to all three of our texts. We added an EDITING POST to our blogs to show what we were planning to do to our texts.

Details to add to our text:

Over the weeks that we have been producing our texts, I have released that more strong points are working on Fireworks, Photoshop and Paint and adding some details to our texts that make them more authentic and stand out.

For example, this week I had a look at my 'ASPECTS TO ADD' blog post and realised that we still needed to include, e.g. small print details and logos from the albums produces. So, I decided to create all the small details we needed to add, using Fireworks.

Digipak:

For the digipak I saw that we needed to include some more small print details and add some more detail to the message, on the inside of our digipak, so that it incorporated Samaritans into our texts more.

This is a rough edit of the message we would like to include:

We decided that we wanted the message to be short and and to the point but still go with the band's layed back, young style. To do this we decided to use informal language and saying, such as 'Thanks a million.' We also added a smilie face:   :)   to the end of the message to connote the band's style further.

Magazine:

My partner and I are pretty happy with our MAGAZINE ADVERT and are now thinking about aspects we can change or include to connect all three of our texts. We feel that the most important aspect we need to include is the Samaritans logo, to insure that the message runs through all of our texts.

Music video:

To insure that our music video can stand alone without the Samaritans message and still be a strong piece, we decide to not incorporate the charity into the actual video, e.g. having the narrative character ring Samaritans as part of the story line, but instead have the Samaritans logo, slogan and phone number come up on a blank screen after the music video has finished.

Next week:

As our production deadline is next week, my partner and I will carry on working to complete our texts to a high standard and ensuring that all our work so far is up to scratch.
