2021: A2

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music video (major task), together with an official social media page for the band or artiste(s) and a digipak for the album’s release (minor tasks).

GROUP/S PRODUCTION: Louis + Emma worked together on a package centred on Billie Eilish's All the Good Girls Go to Hell [VIDEO]. They also constructed a website particularly to highlight 'merch' as a key element in monetising music. Emma constructed a Twitter page and Louis an Instagram (in both cases as Billie Eilish adding avacado to the username in reference to her fans' nickname) 


Louis (LOOPS MEDIA) worked on a music video/promo package (digipak; social) for Billy Eilish's All the Good Girls Go to Hell.     [lyrics; orig vid; individual social media: Instagram; video final cut AND some 'alt vids' (eg visualizer); digipak]

Emma (SCOPE VIDS) worked on a music video/promo package (digipak; social) for Billy Eilish's All the Good Girls Go to Hell.     [lyrics; orig vid; individual social media: Twitter; video final cut AND some 'alt vids' (eg visualizer); digipak]

At A2 you produce a portfolio of productions: a promotional package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, a website homepage for the band, + a digipak for the album’s release. So, that's a music video as your main text, plus two 'ancillary texts' linked to this.
