tracking an artist throughout their career (Avril Lavigne)
I have chosen to track Avril Lavigne throughout her career in the music industry, i feel that Avril is an inspiration to young girls, in 1999 Avril was discovered by her first ever professional manager whilst singing country covers at a book store near to where she lived, Above i have included her albums and what albums she released in what year and the lead single for every album underneath the dates.
what is an Digipak?
A Digipak is patented style of packaging used for CD singles or albums and DVD's , digipaks consist of a gatefold (book style) paperboard outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding CD's or DVD's. Digipaks were first created by mead westvaco and their product called (digipak) is trademarked.
Target audience (Voki)
Here is an idea of what i imagine my target audience would look like,
speak like, sound like, and what her general personality would be.
Sarah is a typically girly girl who loves to hang out with her
friends. the Voki give people an in sight into what her hobbies
are and what type of music video's she like and why she likes them.
This has helped me to identify what target audience i want my
music video to be for.

analysis of previous students work
WWW: I think that the narrative is really well presented and was
thought in dept about in order to make it clear and understood.
They were creative and experimented with different shot types
which worked well for them. The pace of the shots were cut
accordingly to the pace of the song so i fitted well and didn't
look odd.
EBI: I think that they didn't put much thought into the lightening as
in some shots the lightening looked poor quality which impacted
there video overall. although they used a variety of different shots
they were a bit slack on them, their framing could of been improved.
WWW: I Think in this video you can definitely see that there miss
en scene was thought about and planned in detail which paid off
in their video as there locations were effective and creative which
fitted well within the video. also there costumes were really detailed
and made the video look professional.
EBI: i think because it was so clear they thought indept about their
mise en scene, it seems that there narrative was a bit confusing at
times and unclear, i also do not really get why they used certain
effects and what they wanted to gain from those effects.
WWW: I think that they narrative fitted really well with there chosen
genre and their location and costumes highlighted the narrative well
i can see that they have used Andrew godwin theory when the lyrics
say about a gunshot. i also think they were creative with there effects.
EBI: i think they could have used a variety of different shot types
as they only really used a mid shot which look our attentions
else where. The performers were unclear as i think they
changed lead singers half way through. and i think they could
have focused more on their lip syncing
WWW: I think that the narrative was really well thought about
and creative. they used a variety of different shot types which
made the video a lot more interesting to watch. The narrative
also fitted well with the lyrics in the song.
EBI: i personally think there could of been a bit more
performance in the video, there was a lot of narrative which worked
well but we didn't see a lot of performance. i think they could of
improved there costumes making them a bit more creative and also
in some shots the lightening could have been focused on and improved.
inspiration and influences
Above i have pick a few film trailers and music video's that personally i think are really good either music videos or films, i think that all of the above are going influence me when making my own music video because of there excellence creative narrative, each individual one above have there similarities and can be linked with each other but at the same time they are complete contrasts.all of these are fairly recent in either the film or music industry and i think tackle problems in todays society which therefore has a tremendous impact on the fan and viewers that watch the music video's and films.
