Draft Evaluation

Our video and corresponding ancillaries cannot be claimed as copyrighted from the original Johnny Cash videos, as my the ideas we have used for this product may not be new but are free of any clear links to Johnny Cashs style of music video and ancillary products. The ideas that led to the creation of this video were simple ones that could be link to all kinds of music video genres, as our original idea was set in the countryside and was a narrative video. But due to it lack of detail and failure to portray a clear story it was clear that it needed to change. After working on the video and adding new video text to it, the fact the videos main concept was flaured became clear and we began to rethink our ideas. The main issues at the time was the location and the characters as the characters had little time to spare and the location was loosing light faster due to the fast aproaching Winter months.
This led to the drastic read think that you seen as our final product,As after alot of phone calls and planning we were able get access to the location we used for the final piece. Using the equipment we had to hand we created our video,The clothing used in this video was selected to make the main character stand out against the other character that are all dressed the same. Due to personal reasons some of the characters in our video wished to stay anonamous and so their faces were removed from the video a concept not used in the Johnny Cash videos.

We researched this genre of music, through other country country musicians as well as johnny Cash's music.

Draft work

This is my First Draft for my Digi-pak work, It's abit basic but thats what makes it a good piece of work as country music CD covers are usually simple and not overly complicated. I will need to change a few details on this piece to make it at effective as possible,

This is my first Draft for my Poster, I need to work on it but it should improve in time. I will change some of the fonts and add alot more information and hopefully it will end up a good piece of advertising for my digi pak and my artist.

Poster Ideas

I have to considered alot of details when creating my poster, so I have been working on alot of different images and colour schemes for my poster the most effective appears to be the black and white colour effects, this also matches up well with the Johnny Cash element in my work as most of his existing posters are in black and white.

country music designs

Through out this stage of my project I have been studying different examples of country music designs that have already been used to get an idea of the style of work I need to include in my work. But this also alows me to avoid accidently copying someone elses designs.

Sorry I Missed a Lesson

I'm sorry I missed the lesson on Friday but I was in hospital having a procedure performed on my right foot. It required me to stay in hospital for the day due to complications and the used of a strong anaesthetic that resulted in me being unconscious for an hour, this meant I was unable to leave until 3 o'clock as the doctors needed to keep an eye on me as I recovered.
This shouldn't effect my work but it may cause me to be late to a fue lessons as I can't run on my right foot.
In the mean time I've been looking on Scribd for documents relateded to country music. I found a few interesting documents including one called happy trails about the life of Roy Rogers its quit interesting as he was a bit of a cowboy.
Heres just a small exstract.
''Roy Rogers was everyone's image of what a cowboy should be, from his white Stetson with its silver hatband to his hand-tooled boots. His face was strong and handsome with eyes that squinted yet still showed a twinkle. His smile was warm and reassuring. Whether he was wearing fringed Western wear or a checkered cowboy shirt, he was the epitome of what a cowboy should be. He was the picture of honesty and integrity. And was there ever a more exciting sight than watching Roy and Trigger riding majestically across the television screen or a rodeo arena? No wonder three generations of kids (and adults) wanted to be like Roy Rogers. We wanted to look like Roy, dress like Roy, and be as honest and forthright as Roy.
He gave us standards to live by that helped teach us the difference between right and wrong. His willingness to stand up for the things he believed in inspired us. And his religious faith and his concern for the less fortunate helped mold our character. Roy lived his life off camera with the same decency and humility that he projected on television and on the silver screen. He was the hero who never let us down. Despite all the success that came to him, Roy never seemed to lose his way. And he never forgot that his fans were the ones who made it possible for a poor boy from Ohio to attain a level of success greater than anything he could ever have imagined. His decency and strength of character come from a simpler time in America. Yet it was anything but an easy time.''

editing changes and final video

I spend alot of time during lessons and after school editing this video,
It took a very longtime but it was definitely worth it to as the outcome greater then I thought it would be. Most of my teachers agree with this and have been a great help with all of my work so far.

Planning

The Plan at the moment is to take photos of John and use them to make the digi-pak.
These are some of the rooms I have been work and planning my work in.
