CONSTRUCTION: Colour Correction

In order to brighten the stark colours of the locker room, our group used the tool of colour correction in order to brighten the clip which gives it a warmer feel. The majority of the music video being taken place outside in the sun, it seems fitting to keep the theme of warm colours rather than cool throughout each shot.

RESEARCH: CONVENTIONS OF AN ABLUM COVER


Code and Conventions of an Album Cover
- Bold and Simplistic Fonts
- Few Characters
-Simplistic Design and Colour Scheme
- Images or tone representative of music on album
- Close-ups of the artist themselves


Album Covers will often focus on the artists image and the their genre. They have the purpose of establishing the artist's image which can be done through close-up's making the album more personal. By picking features that are characteristic of the artist,  consumers will associate the album with them. Artists will also often promote their album through direct address in which they simply just have their name across the album in order to be recognised more simply.

RESEARCH: BUG


BUG is a music video showcase presenting " The Evolution of Music Videos". It provides a comments on not only music video's but also colourful youtube video's. 

Creater Knight comments its like 'going round to a friends house and having him open his laptop to show you the interesting and amusing things he's found or made'. Along with co-producer Buxton, 
Knight has set up BUG with the intention of presenting interesting music video productions with the intention of interesting others. 

However, In my case, BUG can serve as a useful platform to learn about the code and conventions of music videos, presenting itself as an effective research tool for my coursework.
