Feedback
After we have showed and explained the ideas we have got for on each of the digipak, we have received different comments from different people. These are the feedback we have got:

Positive:

• They like my idea of using close up shots on the front cover as they would see her expression more and it is also one of the generic conventions of pop digipaks. 
• All the images links back to the music video which makes them think about it.
• They all like the idea of having footprints on the sand for the inside panel because it reminds them on our music video.
• The fonts that I have thought of for the front cover was effective because the audience thinks it fits in with our genre 
• They like my idea of having the female walking down the path because this is what they see at the start of our music video and they also see it right at the end. 
• One of the students liked my idea of showing half of the female artist's face on the front cover because it gives a mysterious kind of effect to the audience and it also gives an enigma on why just showing half of her face. 

Negative:

• They think the mid shot of the female looking on the right doesn't work. 
• The egg timer and orchids aren't effective compared to the footprints on the sand.

Final decision:

After the feedback they have made on the ideas for our digipaks, the whole class has to make some votes on which ones we could use for the front cover, inside panel and back cover. These are the decisions they have made:

 

Front Cover

The close up shot and the angle of her face shows her melancholic expressions which would remind the audience into our music video as this is the type of character we have portrayed her as in our music video. It would also be clear to them who the music video is about and authorize them to feel closer to her. The fancy font style for the title would attract the female audience's eyes because it looks girly. The signature type of font for the artist's name makes it look professional and more personal. 

Back Cover

 

They think that this idea for the back cover works very effective as it would remind the audience into our music video as this is what they would see at the start and end of it. The placement of the bar code, company logo and copyright information at the bottom of the page is what we would normally expect to see in a music video and it looks professionally done.

Inside Cover

 

They thing that the footprints of the sand works well for the inside cover as it links back to the music video and it also reflects on theme of the whole song, as the female used to have something but doesn't have it anymore whereas the footprints means something that used to be there but isn't anymore. The lyrics on the left hand side is effective because it would be easier for the audience to read the words. 

 

Conclusion:

Overall, I think we have used the generic conventions of pop digipak which would be easier for the audience to identify the theme and genre. The whole composition of the digipak has some meaning that associates with our music video which would remind the audience about what it was about.
