Digi-Pak Planning

Before making the Digi Pak we had to plan what we wanted our overall Digi Pak to look like.
This is why Erica Hall and myself have come up with.  We hope when it comes to editing the Digi-Pak on photoshop that we will use the right colours to portay the genre of our music video. When taking the photos we also hope to stick with the codes and convetions.

We planned that we wanted to keep Goodwins theory throughout.
This was our first draft however usually myself and Erica change ideas and opinions when we actulaly get the photos editited on photoshop to fit in with the digi-pak genre. Something thats good about our Digi-Pak is that we keep the codes and convetions throughout and also we apply Goodwins theory. Myself and Erica both disagree that we actually don't like the middle top picture were hoping that alot of our pannels will have a star image at use to keep that consistant professional outcome throughout.

By the time we take the photos and then re edit these to make them more suitable for the codes and convetions of a folk genre/acoustic style song it should be approporate for our final outcome of a Digi Pak.

Risk Assesment

When producing a music video or any type of video you have to think about the health and safety issues within the actual shooting aspects of making the music video. This is why I have decided to come up with a risk assessment. This includes things such as checking props, costumes, technical equipment and performance area. 
Risk assessment's are actually very important and should be followed by all performers and directors on set. A risk assessment is actually a very professional thing to use and follow. Having done many shows with the school I already have a basic knowledge of how a risk assessment should be used and when it should be checked. Any form of performing aspects should all have risk assessments. This is to ensure and be aware of dangerous areas of filming. 
I have come up with this table and tried to use the following basic rules of how a risk assessment should be laid out - clear and organised structure, easy to understand. This risk assessment should also be shown to all performers before shooting. Furthermore all areas being used should be checked before hand and told to the performers. To ensure they are ready to go.
