Evaluation Feedback


After asking a small focus group, the most common suggestion for improvment was to not use the image of the tree on the album cover. Even though it is a natrual image that reflected the video, it is seen somewhat random as the album covers theme is illustarted and cartoon, so if anything unatrual. I agree with these comments and have therfore changed the back of the album cove from the tree image to more illustaions. This will ensure consistency throughout the album cover. Along with erasing the tree from the album cover i have also erased it on the poster. 


Here is what i originally designed...

...using audience feedback, i then continued the illustrated theme onto the back of the album cover and erased the tree...


The tower resembles fairy tales of princesses and princes which is romantic therefore reflects lyrical themes of the song. 

With the elimination if the tree i have also decided that the poster should not have the image either as this may be misleading and confusing for consumers.

Storyboard


Here is my storyboard for my music video. I've tried to illustrate it as best as possible. The basic plot is a girl is in love with here friend and he doesn't know and is interested in someone else. There are various romantic moments between them as they stroll through the countryside with there friends.
