Digipack Template
We searched the web to see what kind of digipacks were available, we came across a few templates. Usually they come in different shape and sizes to fit the amount of CD's or DVD's required.

Peer Goodwin Feedback Thoughts
After looking at the comments we were given we feel that we had mostly positive feedback, a mixture of comments lead us to believe that we had almost made a success with our project even if we do feel we could have done more.
Peers understood some intertextual references we tried to represent Ie: drug taking with modern electronic music. Also with the stereotypical view of men seeing women as sexual objects. ( This was represented in two shots, one when the main character tries to reach out to two women, and once he is at a shop window.)
The criticism's given made perfect sense and we understood what they meant, such as not enough lip syncing.

Peer Goodwin Feedback
1. Does represent genre characteristics in the main character/artist as his movement flow with the beat of the song. The psychedelic lights with the electronic bass line. Possible drug influence mixed with filter effects, kaleidoscope. Also drugs are connected with electronic music nowadays. Would expect more lip syncing for genre of music.
2. 'Lights and music' - the kaleidoscope effect is the main connection with the lyrics and video. Filmed at night but in a lit street so we can see the character and is another connection.
3. Vaguely representing music within the video at 3.11 where the main character plays the drums but from the song you cannot tell if it is recorded from a real drum kit or is computer generated. Would of been more in connection with the song if he had used a keytar (keyboard/guitar) would also of added comical value.
4. Most of the screen time is made of the main character/artist so the audience are able to establish that he is the artist but there are not enough close ups/lip syncing. This might of been done on purpose to add effect to the state he is in.
5. At 2.29 the exploitation of women is clearly shown and then later emphasized in the shop window at 2.36. There is a mixed message about if he is wanted to be watched.
6. Does not seem that there are any intertextual references but that might be because we have not watched/review other videos of the same genre.

Introducing New Shots
Obviously after having shot extra footage we need to incorporate it into the existing video and being able to not disturb the flow of our video is extremely hard. Editing the shots has been mostly about shortening certain clips because it simply wont all fit in our track. We are also eliminating some of the weaker footage. The editing also means lengthening and shortening certain clips nto only for effect but also for time filling. What we feel we should have more of is more characters in the clip but that was hard to do in a group of three people, unlike most groups in our class who have four members .
