Album Covers

Here is an idea of the sort of look and style we are going for with the Album cover.

Album Covers

Digipack Research

The idea of a digipack is to showcase the artist by adding in lots of bonus features to the original album. It is very popular for Digipacks to include some DVD content of possibly live shows or a music video. They also sometimes contain a poster or some sort of artwork or maybe even a competition.

Here is an example of a digipack, as you can see it is quite large compared to a normal album.

Here is another version of a digipack. This one has lots of

DVD content so is shaped like a DVD.

Francais Pour Une Nuit is an electrifying full length live DVD. The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse -that is, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo- ride into Nimes and make their entrance into the Coliseum, through the gladiator's tunnel, before performing an explosive set of Metallica music. Fans can also look forward to some exclusive backstage footage.

Including 2 hours of the show, 37 minute interview of the band, 5 videos from the audience/16 page booklet, Francais Pour Une Nuit i sthe ultimate Metallica live experience!

This is another digipack, this time with less digipack content.

Bonus DVD content:

The Making Of Bleed

Micha Guitar Tour

Tomas Drum Tour

Editing Sessions

It's finished!!!

We finally finished editing the video after a lot of hours, a lot of concentration and a lot of effects!

We're both really pleased with the outcome though and it was definitely worth the hard work!

Editing Sessions

The editing is coming along really well, we've only got about 30 seconds left to go but it's taking quite a few hours sitting in the editing suite. I think at one point we have something like 20 shots in the space of 2 seconds! There's lots of cutting up bits of clip and speeding them up to ridiculous speeds but it looks good though. Hopefully we can get it finished in the next week or so!

Youtube Rough cut Feedback

It's been a week and here are the comments we have recieved from our youtube roughcut video.

It's very pleasing, hopefully we can make the rest of the video as good!

Peer Feedback

We showed the rough cut to some people in our class. Their responses were:

"I think it looks really good so far. I love how it's so fast and in your face, you just need to make sure you keep that up for the rest of the video. Also maybe try to make more of a contrast between the narrative shots and the performance shots, it will emphasise them a lot more."

This is very useful feedback and we will definitely take on board what they have said.
