Digipack - Software used.
The software used to create my digipack is 'InDesign'.
The software proved difficult to use at first as the layout was confusing. Furthermore I didn't know what certain effects would do to my digipack so had to experiment to get it just right, this wasted quite a lot of valuable time. However after a few lessons I understood the basics such as importing a photo and placing it, making the process smoother.
After I understood a little more of the software I started to experiment more with the digipack, trying to use different photos whilst using different effects, which helped me to produce two different styles of digipack, this helped me to improve the quality and uniqueness of it.
Overall I found using InDesgin quite complicated due to its complexity, and the fact I only used it for a small amount of time meant that I could not fully understand the software. However I feel that what I produced was of good quality and could reach a high grade.
My digipack Ideas
Recently I have had to start to think about my potential digipack for my music video. I have done a small piece of research into EDM digipacks and as looked at before they're usually rather simple, as they can be quite broad and unspecific as they don't often relate heavily to something.

I have a few ideas of what I would like my digipack to look like. I believe that certain albums such as Alesso's album can act as a guide as it has a similar colouring to mine, and is of the same music genre. Furthermore its very slick and simple making it catch the eye of consumers as they attract to something of good quality, and not too complex.
The pictures that I'm going to be using for my digipack are coming from screen shots of the filming shots I took, when I was filming, some of these are in my music video. So why use screen shots?
For the colouring of my digipack I will use the colouring of black and white as its the same effect of my music video, so can it relates to my song. Furthermore it makes the album seem vintage which can make it unique to some, and attract them to the album.
In the album I will also include a small message to the consumers, and names of other tracks that will be on the album, to make it seem like a real album.
I've came up with two ideas for my digipack. One idea is more simplistic using standard pictures in the black and white effect, surrounded by black border, which makes the picture stands out. The other idea is to have the picture in a pencil drawing like effect, surrounded by a white boarder. By having two ideas it can allow me to come up with more creative ideas, and maximise my digipack potential.

- It can relate to my music video, so has something in common.
- Its simple to do, and would be a quick process.
- The effects I can add to the clips are interesting and make the album interesting.

Music video and lip syncing
Lip syncing is the ability to match lip movements with the actual words/noise which is being projected, so it does not involve the individual who is lip syncing to make any noise.
I find my song to be unique. I would have to classify it as being in the EDM genre, where usually these genre of songs focus on the musical beat rather than lyrics. Therefore the song I used had a very limited amount of lyrics being sung. When lyrics were sung they were usually repetitive, such as 'go insane'. This meant that lip syncing was not so critical in my music video as there is not a lot of it, however its still important that it looks good to keep the music video of high quality, looking professional.
So what was the lip syncing in my music video like? The word inconsistent comes to mind. This is because there are times where my actors managed lip sync well as they opened their moves widely making it look like it is them actually singing, and times when they did not. This was a slight problem as it looks as if they are mumbling and not actually singing. This is quite evident at the beginning of my music video, where some of the shots do not have very good lip syncing.
Overall I have managed to edit my music video so that parts of clips where the lip syncing is of very low quality have been removed, leaving behind the better quality parts. Lip syncing has proven not be such a problem due to the very few lyrics in my song choice. However if a song with more lyrics was chosen it would have been more of an issue.
