New Digipak ideas

We have decided to make the front cover of the Digipak  to have a picture of three of our characters cut up, mix and match and create different combinations of people. We are doing this to show that we rely on each other and when we are together we are greater than our various parts.

For example what "blink 182" do in their music video "Always".

Another example is the way that these album covers are layered together.

Band poster research

We also need to create a poster for our band and we had the idea of using all of our characters and putting them together like a "charlies angles" pose but with our characters.

Here are also a few examples of posters that we could incorparate into our ideas for the poster.

Lead singer placement

We have put the main singer in the middle on drums when filming the band shot purposefully as we thought we would break away from all music videos were the main singer is the most important and has to be at the front, we were trying to portray the message that all members of the band are important as the band can only function if everyone takes part.

These are a few example that we are trying to break away from.

Impact editing

I have tried to edit our music video to the song so that when the tune changes so doing the cutaway or band shot for example, i did it like this so that it would not only be visual stimulation for the audience but also will help with the impact that the song will have. An example of editing like this is the intro to the series "CSI crime scene investigation" as they use the song by "who" and edit the cutaways to the song for a stronger impact.

Adittional fan insert

As a group we had the idea to put an additional items into the Digipak so the audience can enjoy the extra content. We thought that we could put all of idea into the Digipak because we now we have more areas to cover. For example we were thinking about either putting in a booklet with the song lyrics in and with a band biography.

Here are examples of the type of booklet we were thinking of.
We are also thinking about putting in Polaroid pictures in for additional items as well as a monster book that the audience can flick through the pages mixing and matching there own monsters.


We could also have five playing cards with our characters on them for instance face cards.

Ideas for Digipak cover

The ideas that we were thinking about as a group were to either put a character on each side of the Digipak cover or two put something like the the "Beatles" version of abbey road front cover and try do our own interpretation of that but with all five characters photo shopped in.
