MUSIC VIDEO FINAL PRODUCT

Social Media For Our Artist

We created an Instagram and Twitter account for our artist as the majority of music artists use these two social media sites/apps to promote themselves and their music. It is also used to connect with fans and to let them know what the artist Aurora is getting up to.

From Instagram we created a link so that her audience/fans could also connect to her twitter from her instagram account. 

The bio on our Twitter account is "Make love in ths world". This is because our artists portrays inequality in her music videos and she wants to make a change. Also, it is the lyrics in her song 'Burn' from her album Awareness. 

The construction of our website

We changed our original template design to a more dominant purple so that it can relate the our other media texts more (Digipak and music video). The emblem is also featured on the home page so that the artists iconography is seen throughout all media texts. We also inserted Apple music onto our main screen so that the artists audience could purchase the album straight from the start.

We included a merchandise online store while using photoshop to include our artists iconography and song names on to her products. For example we used photoshop to create a T shirt with the artists peace symbol on it. We used an online store as many other artists such as Ellie Goulding also have this.

 We have included a tour page which includes tour dates, each 'ticket' button links to ticketmaster and when the venue is clicked it takes you to the homepage of the venue.

We also have a social media page so that Aurora's fans can see what she's been up to and where she is travellling around the world.

Audience Feedback on the Draft of our music video.

We created an short clip of an Audience Interview to see what the audience liked about our music video and what we could improve on. Their points were extremely helpful as it gave us things we could improve on for our next shoot. For example we need to make the inequality between the poor and rich mire clear and in particular the rich. Also, some of our shots are quite basic and our feedback was to shoot different types of shots as some of them are quite basic.

Here is a clip of their feedback:

Website Planning

Here is a basic draft of what we want the front page of our website to look like. The search bar will consists of links to the home page, the tours, the merchandise tours etc. At thw top of the draft we hve also listed each things that will be included on each page. For example, the 'about' page will have pictures of our artist, a bio of our artist and a link to subscribe to her Youtube channel.

This is what our website looks like so far; we have continued the purple theme from our digipak but it is still a work in progress.
