Digipak Advert Analysis

This is Britney Spears's digipack advert which promotes her new album "Circus" available from the 12th of February 2008. I feel this is a very stong and effective digipack advert due to the relatationshio between the visual layout and theme, to the album name itself. This clever advert represents a stong brand identity and portrays a interesting and exciting album. The advert is very unique and orignal,and has it own identity which i feel is key. The contrast between the colour of the background and the font makes it very easy to look at and remember. The artist's name is the biggest font towards the top of the page which is the first thing that is seen by the viewer.
The only constructive critsizm i would give is that viewers may be slightly confused into what type of genre of music it is going to involve, espeacially a new and upcoming artist.
The next digipack advert belongs to a artist named Katy Perry, and the name of the album is called Teenage Dream, which is also a name of one of the songs on this album. I feel the bright colours in this image stands out and looks very vibrant and bold, which could attract the viewer and grab there attention. The compostion of this image leaves space on the right hand side where the artist's name and album name are postioned. The pose of the artist is quite seductive and sexual , which i personally feel attracts both genders to the album and may interested a group that may not of looked at it before. The contrast between her and background makes her stand out and makes her the main subject, which is very important. All information about specific dates and selected together at the bottom of the page and can easily be recognised. The only negative thing i would say about this digipack advert is to make the background a slight less outragous, but i feel this contrast well against the plain body of the artist and makes her stands out to the audience she is aiming at.

Research into the music industry

The main things that are vitally important when creating a music is a variety of locations so that the viewer does not become bored and it keeps the video flowing and maintains a degree of entertainment.
Another factor you have to consider when creating  music video is that when you are trying to sync your voice to the voice of the music yu hve to actually say the words instead of miming them. If you do not move your voice box then it will not appear realistic and will not look as if she is actually singing.
As viewers cn find music videos everywhere in todays mordern society. they are found on music channels on television, youtube and other internet sites, itunes which have a package of the music video and the song together for a set price. they are widely recognised as an essentional part to promoting the single and to portray the artist in a light that they want to be seen.

Goodwin's Analysis

One of Andrew Goodwin's quotes is that there is a relationship between the visuals and lyrics in the music video. this can apply to my music video as i am going to get the person in the video to sing and act as he is in the position of the person writing the song. The characteristics of my music video is going to relate to the specific genre and is going to relate to Goodwins analysis.
