I showed my teacher my video again, in order to get as much feedback as possible to make my video as good as I can, and I was advised to add a question mark into the speech bubble, or go with my original idea and make it pop, instead of leaving it how it is.
Also I have decided that at the end instead of having 'KISS & TELL' appear at the end I am going to leave it blank. I am doing this because the position of the 'artist' is in the left hand side of the screen, but this resembles how she is now by herself, and no longer with the 'boyfriend'. Also because it is a low angle shot of the 'artist' it means she looks powerful, and it suggests that she has being in control of the 'boyfriend' and ended the relationship.
I have also booked the theatre space for Wednesday 2nd February to film my dance routine, which will finish the music video off.

DIGIPACK 2
After being told my ancillary texts were not as strong as my video, I decided to re-do them. I was advised to change the colour scheme of the digipack I had originally done so that it was more uniform with the video I had produced. Here are my products now.. 
the front cover 
the back 
the insert1
the insert2
the front cover 
the back 
the insert1 
the insert2 I kept the spines the same as I felt they were appropriate. 
This is the CD.

addition to my music video
I have come up with a new idea to add into my music video. In the beginning I had planned to shoot my 'characters' running into a photobooth, closing the curtain behind them, a flash showing on screen and then it would run straight into the video to show the photographs from inside the photobooth. This would have acted as a small narrative before the song actually started.
Because I was unable to do this; as I had planned to film it in Princes Quay and was not allowed to take the camera in there, I have changed my idea.
I will now use a high angle shot to show the legs and feet of the female character, along with her hand that will be holding a camera. It will then show a medium close up of a surface like the floor for example (not yet decided) and she will put the camera down into the shot and walk away from it. It will then zoom into the camera on the floor, and the camera with then flash in slow motion, as though she has put the camera on self timer to take pictures of her and her 'boyfriend'. This will then flow straight into the music video.

FEEDBACK
I was given feed back on my digipack production and was given a number of suggestions..
I was advised to add more colour in order to make it uniform with my music video. Because my video uses yellow and red throughout it means my products, in order to go with it should follow a similar colour scheme rather than using pink, black and white like I have done.
It was also suggested that because of the style of the video, I should make the products look more 'messy' rather than pretty and neat. The genre of the song (pop) means I should make the ancillary texts more 'funky' and fun.

VIDEO
This is a preview of my music video, showing everything I have done so far. The video is almost complete.
January 5th
I plan on filming my dance routine at some point this week, depending on when the theatre space is free. It is important that I use the theatre as I need the white backdrop, this saves me from having to edit or create my own. I would also like the dancers to be wearing black, which is a big contrast against the background, there fore the white backdrop is appropriate.

feedback
December 10th
I showed my teacher my music video so far and he gave me a number of things to change:
He thought the pace of the video in some places were not as quick as the rest of it, and because I had set a quick pace from the beginning, I needed to keep this going. In order to do this I needed to break up some bits. For example the part where the 'artist' throws a snowball at the male character, I edited it so that the snow ball hit it hits him three times. This has made it seem more upbeat, and emphasises the fact that it has hit him quite hard on the back. It also highlights his reaction to being hit by the snowball.
Another change I did was added an effect, when the artist blows a kiss at the camera. When she does this, a lips mark now appears on the screen, as though she has kissed the camera lense. This makes it look more interesting, and clever.
December 15th
After doing these changes, and adding in my animation, I showed it to my teacher again. He was impressed with what I had altered and noticed I had taken his advise on board. I asked for more feedback on what else could be improved. He told me that some of the footage was slightly less out of focus then others, which could be re-shot, but I was advised not to make this a priority. After filming the dance routine and getting everything else perfected, I will then re-shoot the more grainy footage.
