Possible Ideas for Album Covers

I had these Two possible ideas to use, however i felt the images weren't up to a good strandard. The image itself didn't go with the song title, the colours didn't represent the scene i was trying to create. i also felt that the pictures wouldn't relate to the artist much therefore not making it memerable for the audience.

Problems i could have with the location

Problems I could have with the location:
Costumes being ruined during the video shooting
Any props being broken on scene
Any weather conditions
Problems with set
 
If it rains It could get in the way of filming because I don't own a waterproof camera, therefore the camera could get water in it and possibly break loosing the footage I have built. Therefore I would overcome this by filming on different dates, checking the weather before hand and making sure I could keep the camera dry if a situation like this did occur.
 
If the weather conditions are bad there is a possibility clothes would get dirtier or even broken. Therefore I will make sure that I keep pictures of the clothes during each filming to make sure that if any changes do occur to the clothes I can correct them. If needs be the clothes will be washed and I will try to replicate the look it had before, however if the clothes get ripped I will either have to buy another set of clothes or try and cover up the rip.
 
I'm not really using any props, but if I was I would make sure that I always have a spare so if one of them breaks I have a spare to work with and then there isn't any confusion.
 
Most of my filming is done outside, if the background or location changes I will alter it back. The problems I could face are, children moving branches and footprints on the tracks. However I will have pictures of before and after so I can change it if problems do occur. The main issues when filming aren’t that bad.
 

Camera shots and what happening

Script

Performer:

I will be playing the role of the main artist; I have decided to do this to make sure that the correct emotion comes over in the music video.  I am 18 years old and do a variety of street dance, I have been diverse in my different acting roles, therefore thought that I could both direct this music video and be the main role.

I will be wearing a suit jacket and chino’s this is the usual styling’s when it comes to alternative rock, this is an unusual look therefore goes quite well with the styling of the genre.

CD Design

In general when it comes to CD designs they are very basic, this is because most songs/albums are bought online through a variety of different software’s the biggest one being ITunes. The use of these companies means you don’t actually need a physical disk, you just download the songs and the album cover. However there are still a diverse amount of companies like HMV who still sell the hard copy disk, therefore I went into HMV Reading to have a look at the different designs for CD’s you can get.

What I learnt:

• ·         They don’t really stand out
• ·         They aren’t complex
• ·         They have the Artists and Album name on
• ·         They usually are a picture or some kind of design.
• ·         The colour on them are quite basic. 

This is the Kings of Leon’s album on it includes the name of the Band, Album name and a picture.

This is the You Me At Six album on it includes the name of the Band, Album name and a copy right notice.

This is the You Me At Six album on it includes the name of the Band and Album name.

As you can see I have picked 3 CD of bands that are in the same Genre as my artist, I’ve done this so that you get an idea of how basic the CD’s are. They usually are quite dark and don’t have a lot of information on, black is the main colour used for this genre because it’s unusual and is filled with emotion. For my design I would like to do something like the You Me At Six album because I think it would suit the rest of my digipak design.
