Today in lesson our teacher told us to start thinking and planning our digipak, therefore when I get home I will draft out ideas on rough paper, then a digital version and then go on to create the final product when I am happy with my initial ideas. I have already acquired inspiration from other digipak's from already famnous artists.

Mood Board

Instead of creating the basic mood board, I took it a step further and created a 'Tumblr' account. In case you are unaware of what Tumblr is, it is a a social network blogging site with a twist. The twist is that it is a picture blog. As it was originally a personal picture blog, some of the pictures have nothing to do with my music video, therefore I will temporarily link my personal Tumblr blog to my blog, and later on create a 'side blog' with only pictures that relate to my music video and the genre of it. Furthermore my Tumblr blog also has the song I am using for my music video as my background song. I believe this is a more fun way to display a mood board than the usual generic pictures with a bunch of text explaining each of photo. In other words, the pictures speak for themselves.

Here is the link to my Tumblr: http://tattoosfashionmusic.tumblr.com/

Today I am thinking about how I can develop my research into the target audience research of my music video. Personally, I feel as though the audience is the most important factor needed to be taken into accont when creating a media product. And in this case, with music, audience is very specific. I am going to create a video questionaire, asking lots of different people within my target audience, what they like, who they like, where they go in their spare time and so on. I feel this will give me more of an insight on how to create my music video in a way that'll be successful with its target audience.

So currently I have been using the blogger app on my Samsung Galaxy S3. This has been really handy as its allowed me to update my blog on the go and when I get inspiration. However I have just discovered as trying to post some videos I shot that the app will only allow me to post text and pictures. To solve this problem I have had to plug my phone into my computer and upload them using the normal site.
