What are we doing for the task?

We are creating a promotional music video for an uncopyrighted song, a promotional video is a music track that is acompanied with a short film to create a music video for the band, this could also be for artistic purposes.

History on music videos

Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. Although the origins of music videos date back much further, they came into prominence in the 1980s, when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert","promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip" or "film clip".


This is a music video by the band ' Imagine Dragons', the film they have chosen to accompany the song reflects the mood, makes it relatable to the audience. The shots they have used are fairly long, meaning less editing is required (which would be less hassle) and it still works effectively.

Digjpack

We will also be creating a Digipack for the band we choose. This was my first choice out of the three options given.
Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside.
Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums and the tall DVD Digipak (DVDigipak) is used as a premium package for DVDs and DVD sets.


This is the CD case and CD for the band 'Imagine Dragons', I have included both the music video and Digipack to show that this is what we will be doing.



This is the OASIS Digipack, it has several folding panels and would perhaps contain more than one CD.


Website.

For my second choice out of the three options, I have decided to do a website design for the band.A website, also written as Web site, web site, or simply site, is a set of related web pages containing content such as text, images, video, audio, etc. A website is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via a network such as the Internet or a private local area network through an Internet address known as a Uniform Resource Locator. All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web.


This is the website for the band I have included in this post, it helps advertise the band, let fans know of any upcoming news and they can sell merch/albums online to make money.
