ancillary product research, digipak for the albums release


These are what are some digipacks for albums that i like as they utilises the use of colour connotations that not only link to the themes within songs in the album but to also catch attention of potential buyers. These digipacks are aesthetically pretty and incorporate a lot of what I want to show in my own project.
Picture 2 of 2GNARLS BARKLEY - CRAZY - 2 TRACK CD SINGLE - 2006 WARNER BROS
This album by Gnarls Barkly is a great example of this. It uses colour to catch your attention and it looks different from most albums found today making it match the unique genre of his music which is upbeat yet symbolic.

This elements of fear album instantly tells you through the use of colour and imagery that this album is going to be sad or have a lot of deeper meanings. The deeper meaning of this album cover is that the music could touching themes like how it feels like to be drowning and what it feels like to metaphorically be trying to reach the surface and struggling. The blue could most likely represent depression.

This cover focuses on the use of silhouettes, this would immediately interest an audience as they would want to get to the know this artist that they can't see, this is as the silhouettes are mysterious and it almost like the album is saying that the you will get to know this artist you can't see through listening to this album. What looks like golden fireflies that represent life and the light of life which ties in with the themes of being young show by the title.

In this, we see a dodgy city and then the camera moves over the clouds to reveal a buildi ng above the clouds called the feel good inc. This represents how in this building at the top you don't have to see the horror that is going down below the city its almost as if ignoring it makes it better/ ignorance is bliss. The light against the building represents hoe rising against everthing and the building almost makes it seem as if anything in this 'Feel Good Inc' tower is possible. Then in this shot, we get to see inside the building sh owing how dodgy it is in there too. This illustrates what y ou see on the outside (the sign that says feel good inc) is not exactly whats on the inside. The red background connotes danger and lust, linking to the sex drugs and rock and roll vibes going on inside the building. In contrast with the characters blue hair, it makes him stand out characterising and illustrating that he is the singer. Now we see more mov...

Extra final edits made to my digipak advertiment

It was said that my digipak still looked quite busy and that there was too mush going on. There was too many different coloured text and font variations which made the advertisement look to cramped. So I changed all font that wasn't to do with the artist or the name of the album blue and changed it to the same font, Didcot. I then moved some of the album information above the name of the album name to make the text look less cramped between the hands. I then moved all the logos down to the bottom of the advertisement to make the advertisement look more professional. I also changed the colours by putting filters on the image so that the advertisement stood out more.

Rough cut

This is my first edit of my music video for the song 'Take me to church'. While doing this I have realised some issues with the video for instance I have used a lot of my footage in this first section and I think I need to go back and re-film at those locations. For this first section I want to focus on setting the scene (location) and implying that time has gone and that this terrible accident happen earlier on. Reflecting on this I have booked another Day I can film in the church to see if I can get any better shots. They have kindly accepted to allow me to film and I'm changing my camera in a hope that it will take better to the lighting in the church.
