Below is my updated version, including a lot more colour, font changes & the logo of our distribution company. Finally I decided to change the colour theme of the poster to match the digipak cd cover.

Ancillary task - DigiPack Advert (First Drafts)
Below is my first two draft's of my Digipack Advert.
The left design is the basic structure of the advert, I then was advised by my teacher to make a few alterations to my existing design.

My Band Logo & Record Company Logo
My Band Logo
This is my final logo design for my group, 'Banglade$h Banger$'. I created the logo using multiple layers of text in Adobe Photoshop and using the font 'Rakoon'. I made 'Bangladesh' smaller than 'Bangers', because as a group, we are known as the 'Bangers' for short, as a nickname. The colours and shapes inside the text is a zoomed in version of the Bangladesh national flag, the bright colours portray happiness, which is what 'Bangladesh Bangers' music brings to society. The black outline really defines the logo, and the drop shadow almost lifts the logo off the page, making it easily visible on any background.
My Record Company
The Warner Music Group's logo consists of three parallel lines stylised to look like a 'W'. This simple logo is recognisable, as most people will see it printed on the back-side of an album's digi-pack, like it is positioned on ours. I chose to have WMG as our record company as of their success with working with artists, such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Theophilus London, Linkin Park, PartyNextDoor, Wu-Tang Clan and Green Day. This range of artist's consists of old and new, yet all famous in their genre. I feel that Bangladesh Bangers would benefit from being represented by such a conglomerate as Warner Music Group as of the promotion, branding and expertise that WMG can provide.

Pre Production: Equipment List (By Jeremy Cannock)
Equipment List
This camera will be used because of its ability to film in HD improving the quality of the final video, we have also used this camera before and therefore will not waste time figuring out how to operate it, this means that we will be able to complete our filming tasks quicker.
We will be using a tripod so that when we shot our scenes the camera will be as steady as possible, this means that the shots we produce will be clearer and easier to watch. By doing this we hope to give our work a more professional appearance.
From previous experiences we have discovered that the internal mic that comes with the camera does not pick up a high quality sound, which resulted in us rerecording the speech and adding it as Foley. Therefore we have decided that for the beginning of our video where we will have a short piece of dialogue we will use an external mic in order to gain a decent sound quality while filming so we can avoid having to spend a lot of time lip syncing the separately recorded dialogue.
The editing software that we will be using is Adobe After Effects this is a video editing system that we have used before. This will make the editing of our shots an easier task as we are familiar with the user functions.
This is a reflective piece of material that we will be using when filming close ups in order to ensure there is enough light on the subject of the shot, this will result in the shots we film being easier to see and understand.
The equipment that we will need when filming our music video are:
- Cannon 700D

Pre Production: Location (by Jacob Osman)
Alleyway, Archer Close - As located at the end of a cal-der-sack, the location is never really busy - apart from the occasional dog walker, meaning that we could film there any time of day as long as there was sufficient lighting.
Bench & Common - The bench is located very close to three of the areas schools, this means that at before 9am, at lunchtime & at the end of a school day would be difficult times to film as the common would be full of students making their way out at lunch or going home. As we are filming in a particularly cold and wet time of year, we must be prepared for the muddy and slippery conditions in which we most likely would come across.
Langley Hill - These photos of Langley Hill were taken from outside my house, meaning it is a convenient place to film as it's where my house is. Langley Hill is the main road used by Rudolf Steiner School and Kings Langley School's buses, therefore it would be too busy and full of traffic to film at the start or at the end of the school day.
My House, Langley Hill - My group have chosen my house to film a large majority of our pop promo at because it offers spacious rooms which have sufficient lighting and how it is within walking distance from school and all our other filming locations.
Kings Langley High Street - The high street has very wide pavements on one side of the road, which is very good for filming Jeremy running through as of the space needed, it also contains various cafe's and coffee shops which we might need to use to film a scene outside. The high street is King's Langley's main road which connects Watford to Hemel Hempstead, so is always going to be fairly busy, so at rush hour and the end of school time would be the worse time to film at. It's in a practical location as it joins onto Langley Hill where most of our filming takes place and is only a 10 minute walk from school. If filming outside a shop or business we would need to ask the owners permission first to avoid any unhappy confrontation.
