Planning for Digipak schedule.

From using a calender above I have been able to plan my time out well. I am able to see what I have to do and when, this has then given me a good time management skill, which I can then use when planning my music video. 

Digipak Idea.

As you can see I have decided to make a rough sketch of what my Digipak may look like. I like the style in which I have made most things within the Digipak black and white. I wish that I had made the part of where the CD goes black and white too, although I do think that having a part of the CD cover in colour could work well too, as long as I use autumn colours , like oranges , yellows , beige's and maybe a few greens, just so that it gives off a country ( folk ) feeling.

On the front outside cover , I have decided that I do really like the half face, staring at you , with a bland emotion on the front I do believe that this works well, I did think about having the person on the front crying , instead of having no emotion. Although, on the other hand I don't know if this would work well, as it may not fit in with the other tiles.

On the back outside cover, I have been looking into whether or not to have leaves creeping over the back of the cover emerging from the left hand side at the bottom. On this cover I have also decided to list some of the tracks which are featured within the CD.

Research into Digipak's and Magazine adverts.

Redundancy and Entropy.

Redundancy is something which is of a high predictability, For example , having then door held open for you, and then thanking the person for doing so , is highly predicted as most people say Thank you. For Communication's to work effectively , redundancy is necessary.

 Another example of high redundancy would be the fact that a racing driver is usually male. So the image below to the left is the more redundant than the one on the right.

  











The opposite to this is something called Entropy this is when its very different and it contains an unpredictable element.

For Example:  This cats with thumbs photo is entropy as its something which we wouldn't predict to happen.

My music Video ought to be in the middle of redundancy and entropy, as I don't want it to be completely Redundant as it would be too boring and too predictable , and I don't want it to look obvious what could happen next etc.. Although I wouldn't want it be to unpredictable - entropy either, because it will look far to Mis- matched , also the audience will be confused as nothing will link together.
 By having a little bit of each I believe it would work well.

We also have to consider our target audience, and what happens to be their culture, as different people have different cultures. So everyone's Redundant and Entropy views are going to be different. For example. I wouldn't see this everyday due to this isn't my culture, but for Muslims this could be very Redundant for them.
