Album Analysis 1

Digipak Moodboard

here is a moodboard displaying album covers and digipacks of the genre and style we are currently looking at.

Redundancy and Entropy

Redundancy is a predictable and stereotypical view expressed in a message or an image. The redundant element could be an example of residual ideology connoting a predictable element about the context.

Entropy is an unpredictable and different message or image which makes it stand out from the crowd, it could be an element of emergent ideology resulting in a different view and reaction to residual ideology.

The Pitch

Music Video Idea

For our music video, we have decided to use stop motion to create realistic animation of a doll coming to life, then switching to real life footage of the doll transforming into a human and then lip syncing to the song. This is our basic idea so far which we will work on.

We have decided on this because it hasn't been done before and we were trying to be more creative after a class presentation on the matter.

Ken Robinson did a presentation highlighting the fact that creativity was dying in schools
We learned how to be more creative and to take experimental risks to broadenm our imagination. Me and laura have decided to go with this idea because it is a risk, however its a creative risk that could turn out to be something very good.

here is the mp3 of their song for you to listen:
