Which brief have I chosen?

I have chosen the following brief: A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options: 
  • A website homepage for the band
  • A cover for its release as part of a digipack (CD/DVD package)
  • A magazine advertisement for the digipack (CD/DVD package)

The reason I chose this brief is because I would like to broaden my filming skills; learning how to use video cameras and final cut express will help me to achieve this. Along with this is I want to go into music journalism as a career, so creating a promotion package for the release of an album is the perfect brief for me. I have chosen the options of creating a cover of the digipack along with the magazine advertisement rather than the website because last years AS project (creating a music magazine) helped my Photoshop skills, and helped me understand the common conventions of music related media, so I can apply them to the task. 
I will begin the project with research into the history of music videos and industries, as well as analysing music videos and various CD/DVD packages.
