SIF PRODUCTIONS, A2 Media Studies Blog: Lip And Band Syncing Analysis

Final Digipak Design

Above is the final version of my digipak design. This is a birds eye view of it and if I was to print it out and fold it along the lines, the photos would all face the right way and be the right size. Having received audience feedback about the mock up of it, I made quite a lot of changes which I think have been effective and successful. Overall I am pleased with how it looks and believe that it clearly presents all of the necessary information to the viewer in a visually exciting way.

This is the final version of my digipak placed onto the template that I used to size and shape the panels. This presents an idea of dimensions and also shows the basic framework that I used to help me during the process of completing this.

Lip And Band Syncing Analysis

Below are five screenshots of a presentation made on PowerPoint, each focusing on a different artist and one of their music videos. I had to research a little bit about David Bowie and his life, before analysing how well, within his music video, lip and band syncing is done. I then had to do the same for a modern icon, Lady Gaga, as well as for a 'Top of the Pops' band. I chose to analyse ABBA for this, looking at how well they pretend to sing and play the instruments on stage, as for 'Top of the Pops' everything is pre-recorded. I then had to look at a stop motion video, and I looked at Oren Lavie. I briefly explored how the artist promotes his image and what he does to make his video different from a normal music video. Kiesza is the artists who's music video I chose to look at as a single shot video. This means that it was all filmed in one take, and I looked at how she promotes herself as an artists and what is interesting about her video.
