The main difference between 1,2&3, is adding in footage, as the first two were not completed. During the third rough cut I added in the completed footage and special effects to give the music video more of an 'edge' against other Metal music videos. This is unconventional for the genre, yet it adds a USP for the video and mixes well with the specific genre of the song which is a 'spin off' of Metal and therefore, coincides with the video. The final cut includes additional effects and more seamless transitions to make the video seem authentic.

The only difference made to this cut is the change in font during the introduction to the video, which reads: "Filmed and Edited by Isaac Brady" and "Featuring Fools For Kings".

Magazine advert for my Digipack

For my advert I have used the fonts previously used on my Digipack to create a house style for this album. The reference to a 'limited time only offer' is used greatly throughout digipacks to draw attention and to gain more sales. I have chosen to use the advert for a limited time white vinyl which is popular in the present day. Also, I have included relevant information which clearly shows where to purchase the album, and in what forms it can be bought. This is assisted by the logo's of the four biggest Music Streaming websites and apps to clearly show customers where they can access the album. Furthermore, I have included a picture of the CD's front cover to show potential customers what they are looking for. The inclusion of the band imagery in the background shows how the band are equal in the role of performance and I have used the digipack's front cover as it will be familiar to fans of the album.
For the most recent draft of my Digipack advert, I have reversed the font and border colour on the 'Limited Time Only!' text to make it instantly stand out to audiences as well as increasing the font size to draw attention towards is. I have also removed the streaming service logos to replace with one. I have done this because the colours present previously did not match the genre of the advert, and also the use of one of the most popular streaming services, itunes, will appeal to a contemporary audience. Although other streaming services are not directly advertised, the advert clearly states 'OUT NOW ON STREAMING SERVICES'. 
On this final draft, I have added a stroke around the itunes logo to make it stand out easier against the monochrome background and makes it fit in with the overall house style of my media products.

 Here, I have increased the size of the 'Limited Time Only' to make it more outstanding to viewers.

I have changed the artist name on all components relevant on my digipack from RAMMSTEIN to Fools For Kings. I have done this because it makes more sense as people will instantly link the name RAMMSTEIN to the actual band and may be confused when seeing a completely different band on the cover of the CD case. Therefore, i have changed the artist name, which also links back to the introduction of my music video which says : "Featuring Fools For Kings". I have also updated the back of the digipack to move the font to the middle of the case. This helps to remove the dead space which was apparent in the top right hand corner, whilst simultaneously moving the copyright text and the barcode to a more suitable location.
