Digipak Draft


The drawings on the CD in my final Digipak will be much clearer, and there will be more photo's in the inside left. there will also be an image in each corner of the front cover which needs to be taken, and maybe one more image on the back cover.

CD Covers






Some album covers have no relevance to the songs or sometimes even the band. This would be a good route to good down in deciding what images to use on my Digi pack, although the idea of the mysterious, sexy woman, spoken about in 'Come Closer' could be used on the front cover. 
These covers are more creative, and use more effects and cartoons/drawings rather than pictures of the band themselves.

Costume

The costume I have chosen for my band to wear follows the clothing worn by Noel and Liam Gallagher from Oasis. The band usually perform in these sort of clothes when performing, and Tommy often wears the same style glasses and scarf. The outfits are quite casual yet stylish, with designers such as Pretty Green on the T-Shirts and designer coats worn before/entering the stage. The floral patterned shirt is also popular along with black skinny jeans, once again keeping is smart but casual, influenced by the 60's "mod" culture.

 smart casual clothing- jeans and a shirt.

Mood Board

The classic Sixties "mod" scene was influenced by the wave of British Invasion bands focusing on traditional American blues (The Animals, The Rolling Stones), Mod was the first true English R&B genre. Throughout the years, "mod" music fans have supported the same type of bands including Oasis, Miles Kane, Kasabian and The Jam.

Story Board Anamatic

An animatic storyboard will show me how the scene will look and whether the timing fits or not. I have put together a series of still images, the post-it notes from my story board- and have edited them together and displayed them in sequence to test whether the sound and images worth when put together.

Story Board

Using a story board to map out my music video helps to visualize the scenes and  layout and sequence of events as they are to be seen through the camera lens. it can also help to find potential problems before the filming and editing is physically done. In my story board there are 95 shots, but during editing this may change as whilst filming, as new shots may be formed during the process and these may look better than the ones originally planned.
