We will be working on a digi-pack and then an advert for the digi pack.
I have decided the album is to be titled 'Faces going places' as is the Song for thechosen music video project. I recognised there needs to be a clear link between the video and the album, so they can promote each other. I will complete this by using an image captured whilst filming the music video, to appear on the front cover of the album, so the audience can recognise the link and therefore recognise the artist.
On the back of the Digi-Pack I have decided on a play on the words of track listing. As the theme within the music video will be stations and train related, as the lyrics within the song describe out artist's sightings at a train station.
Also we have decided to take a digital camera along with us when filming our music video to capture scenes from the video and images of the artist at the same time. This will enable continuity with any props or costume the artist will be wearing in the video, as we feel the most effective cover of our digipack would be if the image was taken from the video as a link for the audience to make.
ALBUM COVER
I have looked for inspiration through similar artists to see what would look best for the album cover promoting our own artist. I started looking at young british singer Diana Vickers. There was recently an image of the artist leaning up against a tree casually which I believed would be suitable for our own artist also.
To enable continuity throughout my project, the album cover would feature the same outfit as a scene from the music video, and as there are alot of shots of our artist placed u against a wall singing- i thought that the tree pose would be ideal.
Through experimentation through different fonts and different colours, it seemed that to make the artist stand out she would need to be the brightest aspect of the colour. So using the layering technique we made the background black and white and kept her in colour.
To reflect her identity as a fresh and quirky artist I feel the font in which the album title and artist name are enscripted highlights these personality traits of Jose. With the contrasting colours it would definitely catch a consumer/listeners eye.
We have decided on a particular idea for our own artist using the jose vanders concept as a basis.
We will use our actress/performer to appear in these shots, and we will use a better quality camera to ensure that the picture that will appear on the album cover and the advert.
Monday 22nd November
We started making prototypes of our digipack in order to speed up the process once the filming is complete. Whilst printing off a digipack template we were thinking of a theme that could be used within the digipack cover, and as our artist is a young female artist- the best way to market her would be as a friendly, personable girl.
We decided that polaroid pictures would take the theme of the album, as we would feature personal pictures of our 'artist' to enable the audience to understand that she is a fun, likable person, and the kind of person you wish you were friends with.
When drawing up the template we have decided that to use an image from the shooting of the video would be a good idea, as there would be recognition from the audience and a link created between the video and the new album.
