CD Cover and Booklet

This is the CD front and back cover and the booklet made by me and Tom on Photoshop. We wanted to create our CD cover to the same sort of style as our actual music video, we did this by using Photoshop to draw lines around everything in the picture giving it a rough indie look that complies with our music video. We took a few pictures which we could use and decided which ones we thought would be best suited to use for our CD cover and booklet.


This is our front cover. We thought that Toms car would be perfect to include as it is a Mk 1 Polo from 1981 and this adheres to the indie theme that we wanted to be consistent all the way through our music video and album cover. We needed the background to fit in as well and we liked the scruffy looking wall with the fence and trees. As for the static on the top and bottom we used this because of the static at the start of our video. We also drew on a few objects that were linked to our video such as the cigarettes and baseball bat.

Below is the first and second page of our booklet. We decided to use the simple dark steering wheel as page one with the choruses from our first three songs displayed on this page so that fans can easily know more about the songs and participate more. The second page is the back of the car with Tom crouching behind it in a familiar 'indie' pose, the next three songs choruses are displayed there also.

The third page is similar to the first two as it contains a picture of the car with me and Tom in it as well as the final three songs choruses. We also included an acknowledgements page in order to thank everybody that was involved in the production of our music video. 

The back cover has the three actors sitting there with all the song titles in the album as well as the order of play.

Evaluation Question 4

Evaluation Question 3

For question 3 of my evaluation I have created a Mixbook to share my information. As well as this we interviewed a member of our target audience just after watching our music video in order to gain information on what they thought about our music video. This included questions such as "What did you think of the shots we used?" and "What did you think about the editing?".

Evaluation Question 2

Evaluation Question 1

Question 1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?


The genre of our chosen song was indie rock so our music video had to reflect this genre, by getting everything in synch to the speed of the music and also creating a rough gritty look to our video. We achieved this by our appropriate use of mise en scene using the locations and props effectively.
The website we made adheres to a lot of other artists website as it has clearly labelled tabs and can be navigated with ease. Social media links are an essential for any music related website in todays society. They are important so that the artist can communicate better with fans, it is also important for advertising as it can reach millions of people on social media.




We decided to do a group video to answer the question effectively. We also used a green screen so that we could have our music video playing in the background.

Audience Feedback

To get a better understanding of what our audiences thought about our music video we decided to interview someone. She watched the music video directly before the interview.

Filming Schedule

This is a filming schedule we created before we started filming our music video. We made this schedule so that we could be as organised as possible and we all knew what time and what days we were going to film as we had to fit our filming around other commitments outside of school, work for example.

Music Video Progress

After many months hard work and dedication we have managed to complete our music video and upload it to YouTube. After watching our video back a number of times we are all in agreement that we have done a good job with it and we are proud of it. After watching everyone's productions in class we feel as though ours rates very highly. We split up into two groups to produce the album cover and booklet as we didn't feel as though four of us could contribute enough to one. Sam and Brantley in one group and me Tom in the other. We used
