A2 Exam
Signatures Feedback
Our signature feedback was very certain which one our peers preferred. We also liked this one because it definitely shows who OT is and what kind of genre he is.
The final signature we chose was the top left because most people preferred that one. As you can see from the ticks.
The final signature we chose was the top left because most people preferred that one. As you can see from the ticks.
Signatures
We made up four different signatures for OT and we gave them to our peers to ask which one fitted well with our genre of OT.
Tour poster
These are the inspirations of the tour posters that i researched to get idea on how to set out our tour poster. I noticed that in all of the posters there is a big picture of the artist that is included on our tour poster and then added the dates down the side instead of at the bottom like these tour posters.
Artist Name Choices
We thought of some names for our artist and decided to go with OT as most people liked this name the most.
1st Draft Music Video Teacher Feedback
12:23 - Really like this sot, does it need that effect

2:28 - Beautiful shot can you Sharpen/contrast?
FINISH LAST 20 SECS
Font choices
At the start of planning we had to pick a font for OT it took us quite a while because we wanted it plain and simple an bold but we also didn't want it to look too boring so we came up with these six and decided we would go for the top one as its a nice plain and simple font and is very bold.
OT synergy
The digipak, video and website are all linked with synergy. We have included orange every where we can to link it altogether.

Instagram Update
This is a new post from OT telling his fans the video release is very soon. Keeping them up to date with all the news.
Website Feedback
Improvement for website
Good Feedback
- Social media icons do not work
- Some images poor quality
- Change photo to photos or to gallery - this would be more professional
- Need more merchandise
- Opening age as too much going on
- Font is not consistent
- Font page picture is quite out of focus
Good Feedback
- Tour dates page looks very professional
- Synergy is good throughout
- Merchandise looks professional
- Good that the video is on the homepage so you can click it straight away
- Good layout of the pictures on gallery
- good layout everything can be found easily
Digipak Research
For our digipak we want to go with the coloured theme of black orange for our music video. We also wants to include our logo and make sure there is synergy.
Some digipaks we found gave us inspiration. These are the man two that gave us inspiration.

This digipak shows an orange theme and the front cover was similar to the front cover in our first draft for our digipak. Which we have now changed.
Like this digipak looks like ours with the black coloured outline and the hint of orange colour. The synergy goes well and the back cover for the songs stands out.

Font font for OT
This is our final font (Arial Black) we chose this because it is very plain, simple and bold and we think it shows off OT's personality by being a relaxed person who doesn't take things too seriously and can have fun.
Digipak first draft feedback
The black and orange looks really good but the bottom left needs to be more clear and I the bottom row is too orange and the top hasn't got enough
The front cover needs to go more with the theme. good colour synergy CD cover too simple
Too much orange on the bottom not on the top, move picture around
No clear image of the artist most shots are from afar. like the synergy of the yellow. unsure of the self promo of website being so prominent
Digipak first draft
This is our 1st draft of the Digipak we have used the orange throughout to use synergy with all our products
Magazine for billboard
This is our final magazine cover. As you can see we still have synergy used throughout all our projects. We decided to chose Billboard as our magazine brand because OT is a new upcoming artist and is creating pop/dance songs and Billboard is the best brand for this.
Magazine research
Moodboard
Feedback for video- First draft
The improvements in the feedback we got were:
Good feedback:
Overall the good feedback was mostly repeated and some of the improvements were repeated. Especially about the effects, the beach, and the lip-synching. These are the 3 main things that will be concentrated on when improving the music video.
- there needs to be lip synching in the opening singing part.
- more lip synching needed (mentioned by most people)
- colours edited on southend seem too much (too bold)
- add in more orange as its the theme
- some colours used in editing are too intense for the viewers
- beach scenes need taking out as they are not related
- editing is good but feels over done
- setting is good in till changes to beach
- some effects are over used
- could have used more shots like close-ups
- could include more quirky transitions
- shot when lip synching-when no singing and just a beat
- some after effects do not match each other. There are harsh and bold colours that come out of no where.
- There are too many strobe effects used
- more OT texts throughout
Good feedback:
- All music video fits with the shooting material
- The shots used are varied and fit next to each other
- explain the other colours used
- images are well in time with sound
- there are lots of good scenes used
- good use of effects when edited
- fun and flows nicely
- camera work is smooth and professional looking
Overall the good feedback was mostly repeated and some of the improvements were repeated. Especially about the effects, the beach, and the lip-synching. These are the 3 main things that will be concentrated on when improving the music video.

Proof of work for Music Video

In this picture Me and Faith are looking for music video influences and finishing blog posts.

-There wasn't may video ideas discussed
Josh A- Blessed
-Colourful lights
-Could use this video to use more edits than performance
-People preferred this song out of the two

Props
Also another prop would be the drone. We will use this for high view shots and movement. This will allow a view of different types of shots, to show a variety.

For our props we need a variety of jumpers for our costume. The jumpers that we have are plain black with an owl on, and a plain white jumper. We have choose this type of costume as its causal and the black jumper links with our group. Our group is called Owles Travis. so therefore our logo is going to be an owl.
We will also use DJ equipment as we are going for the partying type of look. And as we are showing of a DJ in out music video.

Audience
How do you consume music?
When? Do you have a daily music routine? Is some music more suitable at a certain time of day than another?
I love to listen to music as much as I can I listen to it every morning and every night and also at school when I can. Music tends to help me get through the day and can really put me in a good mood or help me work. I always listen to music in the car which is every morning and after school. I listen to music a lot in a day because I enjoy it so much. I the morning as I'm getting ready I listen to music as it cheers me up and also at night when I'm working or just bored.
Where at Gigs, Car, School?
The place I listen to music the most would be my bedroom as I'm alone and it keeps me entertained and in a good mood and can also motivate me to get work done. I listen to it in the car all the time really loud as it means I can have that song stuck in my head all day which I enjoy most of the time. Listening to music in the car makes me excited to go anywhere and I love long journeys as I know I can listen to loads. I do love festivals but I think I prefer being at home and listening.
Who with? do you share your music or is it an individual experience?
I listen to music with both myself and my family, in the car the whole family shares but when I'm in my bedroom I like to put my headphones in so its just me. Me and my family generally like each others music so we can share and not have a problem. Me and my friends listen to music together all the time whenever we can and we are all into the same thing so we can share.
How? radio, computer, ipod, tv, live, dancing, homework, getting ready ie doing other things - background wallpaper.
I listen to music on my phone and my tv and that's about it, I connect my phone to my speaker or if its late at night then I use my headphones. In the car I plug my phone in and play my music in the car.
Why? What are the pleasures associated with music consumption? What does it offer the audience and what needs does it gratify?
