Treatment

In this lesson we learnt about Music Treatment and we had received an example of "Turn Down for What" - D.J Snake


Turn down for what - Music Treatment from Histmedia

It tells some details about the music video and gives audiences more in sight of what the music video is about. 
The pictures here are also some intertextuality of this music video which was very much useful when filming music videos.

Digipaks features

Hi,

Just to make sure we covered everything we took some photos of the digipaks that we can use as an idea of what to put in.

The Digipaks were usually simple but can really entice audiences. 





I feel that a simple cover has to portray a meaning to the audiences clearly and it is also able to entice audiences to buy the product even though they haven't heard the music or know the artist before.

Also, the cover is the most prominent feature of the digipaks therefore it is ideally to attract audiences'  attention. 
The cover should include:
- the Artist's name
- the Album name
- image of artist or image relating to the artist or the name of album 


The spine of the digipaks allows the audiences to know the basics of what the digipaks is about. 
The features of the spine should have:
- Artist's name
- Album name
- Record Label





The back of the digipaks should have the same color or style as the front cover to keep a common theme.
The main use of the back cover is to inform audiences about:
- Tracklist
- Record Label
- Barcode
- Copyright information
- website or social media links
- Producers or production team






I also feel that the inside of the Digipaks also need to illustrate a significant part of the music as well and the pictures inside should be linked to the music or the cover of the Digipaks.

Uptown Funk Evaluation

Evaluation:)

P.S Most of the work or proofs that we did the shots or planning is all in the other posts.


How is my work similar to the final product?

- I would say that the final product is very similar to the original version. 
However, some of the parts were different and I feel that it doesn't make it worse and it gives a feeling of originality and style. 
I believe that some parts have shown each person's character or personalities and therefore it has shown a big impact on the music video as well. 


What did I find difficult or problematic during the SHOOT and the POST-PRODUCTION process?

- I found that finding actors for the music video was kind of hard. 
sometimes the people we want that has the perfect personalities and appearance doesn't want to do it and we can't force them as well. Therefore, finding other people who would suite the music video was harder that I have first thought. 
Plus, due to our timetables and the different time schedules, we weren't able to do the shoot right away or together as a big group and that was one of the biggest problems I have faced on this task. 

- Moreover, I found out that the different scenes need to take a lot of patience and when taking a scene it takes at least 3 takes to get it right. 
To be honest, I really like filming the music video!!!

- For the editing part, I just felt that when I tried to edit the shots, it was not easy when I had to make the video in line with the music and the mouth of the actor have to perfectly match the lyrics. 


How did I find it working in a group?

- it was better than I thought it would be. With great teamwork, we were able to shoot and edit in time even though George was sick, he had helped us edit a lot along side Pooh and the final product was pretty awesome. 

- Even though we had our differences, we managed to listen to each other's ideas and we were able to finish the project with very little or no conflict at all.

- I felt very comfortable working with Pooh and George, they gave me patience and great listening and caring skills and therefore I felt that even though I never worked with them before, they were great members and I could work with them again


What lessons you can take into the next project?

- try to have a clear plan before doing the shooting
- try to finish shooting in one day or as fast as you can 
- be patient with editing

Music Timeline

Music Timeline


Today in class we had to create our own timeline on Music. 

We had to find out:
1. what we were or are listening to...
2. where did I find out about the music?
3. how and where I was listening to the music?


I would say music is apart of my life since a very young age. During my younger years, my mum liked to turn on music such as classical or pop music at night and therefore this have made me feel at I am very attached to music and I feel that every genre or artist has their own inspiration or stories. So that is one of the reasons why I really love listening to music.

own website analysis

Today we have done an analysis on an official websites of our favorite or interesting band or artist. I have chosen a Korean band, 2PM because I feel that they are known world wide and their website is similar to one of the top stars. Also they have included many things that I have felt that this website was a very efficient.
