Time plan

Fonts.

I have decided to use the font style vanessa. I think it is more inkeeping with the folk genre of music.

Digipaks.

This is a rough idea of what my Digipak will look like.

My ideas are: 
Autumnal colours with trees, leaves, haystack and elements of nature featured in my digipak.
Natural lightning
There will be one girl wrapped up warm ready for winter in keeping with the theme of autumn.
Font will be very free and flowing almost like hand writing.

Andrew Goodwins Theory

Andrew Goodwin has a number of theories related to music videos;

There is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. There are three different types of  visuals illustrating, amplifying or contradicting the lyrics.
There is also a realtionship between the music and the visuals. They also use the same three types of visuals.
That each genre has their own specific visual and type of way to represent their songs.
Lots of close ups on the main vocalist/ actor.
There may also be intertextual references to other types of media texts such as magazines and posters.


And if you look closely you can see that many of these features are present in all music videos, however they vary depending on the genre of the music and how mainstream or independent the artists are.

Redundancy and Entropy.

Redundancy is when something is very predictable and expected, it is an effective way of communicating with people as it is straightforward to understand. The opposite to be redundant is entropy. If a text is entropic this means that it is unpredictable and can be confusing at it seems to have no real meaning or links to the text. Most people will also find that and entropic texts are unfamiliar to them.

I feel that when making my own music video that the video should be an equal balance between being redundant and entropic. This will mean that have an element of entropy in the video will make it interesting to watch and surprise viewers in an appealing however will be redundant enough that the links and ideas work well together so the viewers are not confused.
