CD Album Cover Research & Exam Notes

Whilst exploring for CD album covers I made a random discovery, a blogger fascinated with CD album covers: http://aninsideoutsock.wordpress.com/ There are posts upon posts showing a diversity of covers (all of which are for signed artists/bands it seems), most being unusual/strange, creative and unique, with graphic and art techniques and influences.

Notes for exam:

G325A-

Write down what skills you have developed since the continuity task to the music video and print productions, since year 12.

Continuity task- 180 degree rule, match on action, edit, work in a team.

Thriller- genre, lighting, editing, sound, soundtrack, aspects of mise-en-scene, health and safety.

Music video- complex narrative, genre, complex edit, learn about marketing an artist/band.

Print productions- (...marketing artist/band, editing through Photoshop and similar software)

For all productions, we had to be acquainted with filming equipment (camera, lighting) and editing software (Adobe Premiere Elements). We also used cameras to capture parts of productions, such as locations, some using their mobiles camera or a digital camera.
