Magazine Advert Research
Magazine adverts are great ways to promote an artist, a film even an upcoming album or single within the genre in which it is based. For example, Travis Scott may advertise himself in magazines such as billboard, whereas Green Day may advertise themselves in magazines such as NME. Magazine advertising is still standing strong through the rising age of social media, whereas platforms such as radio have fallen off.Features of a magazine advert
- The artist themself
- The name of the album/single
- Information about the artist
- Album/single release date
- A USP (Unique Selling Point) of the advert; what sells it to the audience and sets it aside from other adverts
- Social Media links

Digipack Research
Digipacks are a type of CD packaging, typically made out of card or other heavy paper material. Digipacks were originally introduced as a packaging alternative to the classic plastic CD cases.A digipack can flip open like a book (known as a gatefold), or it can have three parts so that one portion of the packaging opens to the right and one to the left with the CD presented in the centre.
Usually, the portion of the digipak that holds the CD is made of plastic like a traditional plastic CD case, with the plastic part attached to the paper background and cover.
Usually found in a digipack are the actual album cover, tracklist, lyrics, and even extra discs and notes from the artist themselves.

Editing Process of Our Film
The editing process for our film was somewhat of a lengthy task. For starters, the lip-syncing of the entire song and all of our clips took the longest amount of time due to its complexity. Luckily, what made it easy was the fact we could see what we were saying.
Secondly, another challenge we faced was deciding which clips to use at a certain point in the video. This is because we each filmed for every scene, ultimately giving us a wide range of choice when it came to editing, allowing us to choose which clips fit in best with the video.
Lastly, the easiest part of the editing process in my opinion was the use of transitions, and knowing where to put them to make them fit with the video. This was made especially easy with the use of our editing software, Final Cut Pro which we used on our college MacBooks which made it even easier.
