Californication vimeo from Elliot Hogan-Keogh on Vimeo.

Here is our final music video - Californication by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers - the video on Youtube was taken down due to copyright, therefore I uploaded it on Vimeo.

FINISHED MAGAZINE ADVERT

CONSTRUCTION: DIGIPACK

-         - Use of screen shot of a band scene showing two guitarists as album front cover.

-         - The band image is editing on iMovie using the effect: Cartoon – which makes the image look glossy and glowing.

-          -The two guitarists have been edited out of their original surroundings in order to be placed onto of a new layer for the album cover – this being the logo of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers – which is red on a white background which makes it stand out and also pronounces the image of the two guitarists.

-         - The song title ‘Californication’ is placed down the side of the front cover in red to highlight the colour of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers logo.

- The function of the magazine advert

- Video, mag ad and front cover what do they all have in common

-         The video, magazine advert and front cover of our Digipack all have similarities in common, mainly the imagery. We used a screen shot from the video for the Digipack’s front cover and magazine advert of the two guitarists and the surrounding backgrounds. The front cover and the magazine advert all have the effect from iMovie called Cartoon. We also use the same font for the title of the song, on the magazine advert and the front cover – which is a bold red font. We also use the Red Hot Chilli Peppers logo in both the magazine advert and the front cover in order to make it more recognisable. However we split it halfway across the magazine advert and in the front cover of the album so that we could see it wasn’t purely a Red Hot Chilli Peppers production – in the video itself, the logo pops up at one point on the television.
