Choosing my Fonts.

After much deliberation, I have rounded down the potential fonts that will be the central font for my music digi-pack.





Font 1 - I decided to choose this font as the subverted "N" letter appealed to me and I thought it would reflect the subverted feel to my music video. The font is pretty simplistic and thus, wont draw attention to the other elements within my music video.




Font 2 - I thought this font would pertain to the male target I was appealing to. The hard edges and lines make it look more masculine. Like the font above, I feel the subversive letters will equally feel to the subversive nature of my music video.




Font 3 - So far, this is my least favourite font. I feel this would not bring much to my music poster as the lines are too soft, and look feminine. However, the letters are easily readable and simplistic enough to not overshadow the overall music digi-pack.





Font 4 - I like the short and stumpy design to this font and feel it would add a unique feel to my music poster. However, it almost appears too masculine and block like, and would not appeal to an overall target.

Feedback: This is some feedback from classmates

Jack: I like font number 4 best as I feel it looks manly and appeals to my age and gender. The one I least like is font number 3 as it looks too silly and I believe this would not go with the music song of Lance's choice.

Ash: As a female, I feel the best font would be number 1 as it seems to appeal to both genders. Whilst font 2 is interesting, I feel it is almost too quirky in effect with a music poster or album cover.

Alex: My favourite font so far is number 2 as it is the most neutral and would suit most people. However, to be bold Lance could also choose number 1.

Sarah: Font 3 is my least favourite as I feel it would not suit the music genre Lance is pertaining to. My favourite font so far is number 2 as it looks fun and has a lot of potential to create different designs with it.

Characters

These are the two main characters for my Media Studies video.

Ashleigh Thomas - I have chosen Ashleigh because she is a friend of mine who I can trust. Ashleigh lives close enough for us to be able to meet up accordingly to film my video and has had experiences in acting before.

Charlie Clarke - I have decided to choose Charlie because not only is she a close friend of mine, but of my primary character Ashleigh, therefore we all get on very well. Charlie also lives near me and is able to meet up to film my music video.

I have decided to use girls and not guys in my music video to create an unconventional approach to my music video as the song I have decided to choose is sung by a male, with their band a generally male targeted band. Therefore, I have added my own twist by taking the conventions of females and subversing it. Upon this, I feel females will bring a much more empathetic and sympathy creating feel to my music video.
