Our finished A2 Evaluation

 

This is our finished A2 Evaluation; this was probably the hardest piece of coursework to finish. We didn’t realise just how much editing would be involved. When looking back on other peoples evaluations I saw a 30 minute evaluation and thought there would be no way we would be able to create an evaluation that long, but we have. We worked extremely hard on this evaluation and we are happy to finally of got it finished after all of our hard work. We put in loads of extra hours after school hours to ensure this is finished to the best of our ability.

We kept it simple by using the same font text throughout and kept the background black. We’ve imported many voice overs and videos of ourselves into this evaluation to keep it interesting. We also converted YouTube videos into mp4 so that we could import them into our evaluation and we also converted YouTube videos into just mp3 so that it is just the sound playing in the background.

We hope our hard work has paid off and that you like our evaluation.



Our Finished A2 Music Video

 

This is our finished A2 Music video, we are extremely happy with our finished music video and we hope you like it just as much as we do.

Our finished poster advert

This is the finished poster for Rihanna’s A Girl Like Me album which includes our PS I’m Still Not Over You song. We our happy with how our end product for our poster advert looks. I like how we have kept everything in the axis in line with each other and it is well structured. We have all the information that is needed on a poster and we hope that our audience likes it just as much as we do.



Our finished digipak

 

This is the finished digipak that we have created. We decided to keep the front and back covers of our album simple and black. We used a picture of our Rihanna on the front cover when she is staring directly into the camera. We did this to remain conventional to Rihanna’s previous albums when she is all made up and looks nice and is staring at the camera. On the back we have the track listing, barcode and the records Rihanna is signed to. We decided to put pictures of our actress in the inside right which also has the copyright writing with it. In the inside left it is just a simple close up of Rihanna looking down to contrast with her looking up on the front.

We are all happy with our CD digipak and I feel it actually looks like an album that Rihanna would create, it is simple but effective.



Progress on video, digipak and advert

We have been working very hard on our editing of our video and also for our advert and CD digipak as this is all due tomorrow. As a group we put a lot of work into our editing and we are very pleased with how much work we have done for it and we tried really hard to ensure its how we wanted it. We created the poster and we are all happy with how it looks we just need to fully decide on the picture we will definitely be using on it. Rosette has been working hard on the digipak and we all struggled with ideas for this.

We found it extremely hard to get definite ideas for our digipak and over the last few weeks we have struggled majorly with what to put on the front, back and the two insides. We tried many different ideas and pictures and I had the idea of using the shots of her up against the wall on the front and back. We all liked how this looked but then we decided to use these as the inside images instead as we thought it looked better. Then we thought it would also look better if we kept the front and back plain and simple with black backgrounds.

Rihanna's previous music videos (how they start)

As you can see in each of these videos it always starts off with a body part of Rihanna’s, her figure her face, her arm/hand and her legs. I think this is extremely effective as straight away most people would know it is Rihanna and I think the simplicity of it works. We took this into consideration and at the start of our video it shows many quick shots of different parts of Evangeline who is our Rihanna. Each shot is followed by the ‘dip to black’ effect which looks good and I am very happy with this idea.
