I have decided to do Brief 1 because last year I made a music magazine meaning that I will have a better idea of what I'm doing as I will set the video to a similar genre to my music magazine meaning that I will understand my target audience better by putting more time into my research finding out what they're looking to find in a music video. I also enjoy listening to music a lot more than watching films so will have a bigger interest in creating a music video which will enable me to want to put more work towards it as I will be enjoying what I do. 

A digipak is a type of packaging for CD's and DVD's, normally made from cardboard and plastic as they're light and strong to help protect CD's and DVD's. The plastic is transparent which allows you to see through which means that you can put paper with text and images inside the CD against the plastic as it is water proof. This protects the paper which can allow you to promote and add more to the CD to catch potential customers attention which could result in more sales.
