Message to the moderator.

Dear Moderator,

Thank you for taking time to look at my G324 A2 media studies blog portfolio. This blog contains all relevant posts relating to my music video of Palace - Collapse.
This blog will direct you from my initial research and ideas, followed by detailed planning and construction. And concluding with my three final products of my music video, my advert and digipak to go along with this.

Kind Regards,

Hannah Liddle

Final Poster/Advert


(Click to enlarge)

I love this image as a poster. I think the low-key blue lighting looks good as I think it gives off a chilled out, casual look which fits in with the indie genre. I also like how in the image I have captured all five band members tuning up their instruments, and shows their passion for their music. I also took this photo on set of day 1 filming so it also corresponds nicely with the whole video footage.
