Permissions Letter

 After some research into the band I discovered that they are signed to the record label Fueled by Ramen. To gain permission to use the Song Ignorance and the artist Paramore, I have sent a letter to the record company Fueled by Ramen, the letter is shown below.

Shot Lists

Below are the shot lists for the Music Video

Advert Deconstructions

 Biffy Clyro

Biffy Clyro's full page advert is designed to grab the readers attention, It also shows the reader every bit of information about the band and their new album. The main body of the advert is the photograph, this create maximum impact on the reader when they turn over to it.

Also the advert shows the media that the album can be purchased on, such as a CD. This increases the appeal of the album to a wider audience because of the various options.





Lostprophets

This advert is only half a page, but uses the space efficiently, the text is small this makes the reader look closer at the advert, also the advert shows the release date of the album, this means that the advert was printed before the album had gone on sale.

 The advert is themed just like the album cover art, this associates the album with the advert making the media products a group


Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins advert isn't for an album but does mention the album the single comes from, it also shows off two things. One, having the female lead singer posing will attract a larger male audience to the album and the music videos. Secondly having the bands web address will allow the fans to access more information about the band.

Digipak Deconstructions

Many bands release digipaks with their albums to further promote themselves, Below are 3 digipaks that each have emphises different parts of a digipak

Nightwish - Imaginarium  (Deluxe Edition)

This digipak consists of an original copy of the album, a instrumental version, a poster, and a booklet containing lyrics and credits. The design reflects the bands genre and video style, also it is designed to appeal the audience of the genre.

Slipknot

The use of the same design on all of the CD's shows it audience that they belong together and in the Digipak. Also making the digipak open like it does, gives the feeling of opening a present. THis would make the digipak feel really speacial to the person who has just bought it. The quality of the artwork and design of the whole of the digipak gives it high level status and makes it desirable.

Jack Johnson - In between dreams

In this digipak theme of silhouettes and the tree flows throughout the digipak, also the all of the faces of the digipak and the disk are yellow, this shows that the disk belongs to the digipak. Also the front picture has the effect of being drawn and the inside picture is the singer holding the guitar, this connection ties the inside of the digipak with the front cover.

Where are music videos seen / watched?

Today because of technology music videos can be seen in anywhere at anytime, sites like YouTube and Vevo give the audience this ability. But there are still the older forms of media like a TV and DVD that show music videos to a mass audience.

Music videos can also be purchased online and as a physical disk, sites such as iTunes and Amazon allow the user to download the music video to be watch on a digital media player.
