Digipak: Inlay and CD

 *Skips intro*


I filled the background layer with black and added noise to it to maintain the consistency. Unlike adding a little bit like previously, there had to be a significant amount of grain on the inlay.


In order to make the CD, I used the ellipse tool and made the outer outline, the inner rim and one more light pink circle around the inner rim. I outlined the CD with hot pink to keep up with the theme (even though in a lil while the outline will be barely visible). I added a slight outer glow effect to the circle as well to make it stand out more prominently.

Next, I selected the first inlay we had made, copied it and pasted it onto this file. I moved this layer right above the outer circle layer, and below the inner two circle layers, and applied the clipping mask which made the pattern layer fit into the circle. This made the CD stand out starkly against the right inlay (which is a convention in digipaks) and also added consistency overall, especially inside the digipak.


Here's the finished product:

Critical Reflection Essay

  My essay of the critical reflection of my work in the Advanced Portfolio will mainly address the following compulsory questions: How do my products represent social groups or issues?

How did my research inform my products and the way they use or challenge conventions? All of my products in the artist's promotion package - music video, digipak and social media - were all constructed after meticulous planning phases in order to effectively reach the audience. This included great consideration given to the sort of message or concept, and the social group that we wanted to represent through our music video. The song that we chose, "Party Police" is pretty straightforward - the lyrics are about a couple whose relationship is gradually deteriorating, and as we hear from her perspective, one of them is striving to hold it together by any me

Music Video Final Cut

Since, she has now dropped Media Studies, Hira emailed me the Premiere file of the music video as well as the video itself that she edited on the 9th and then after I had requested some changes, she sent me another version on the 10th. However, due to the fact that she no longer took the subject and hence the bigger communication gap, I decided to make some remaining changes and alterations to the video myself, which included rearranging some clips and adding a different opening scene: After that I colour graded some parts of the footage to add a slight vintage effect, but not too much. I did this by adjusting the "faded film" scale in the Lumetri colours tab, and adding a slight noise effect to some clips. For some clips I downloaded a VHS overlay to get a *drumroll* VHS effect, by placing the overlay on top of the clip and setting the blend mode to "Screen". I felt that this added the lofi, retro handicam effect that we were initially aiming for as well not just b
