This is one of the first mise en scene featured in our music video and shows an intertextual reference to the film adaptation - "Alice in Wonderland" which is also our first fairy tale featured in our music video. The teacup is a crucial aspect of it therefore making it a suitable front cover (or inside cover) for our digipak. The bright and vivid colours also reflect the joyful pace of the song, therefore making it a good representation of the band for their consumers. Our audience will be ranging from 15-25 years old and therefore the fairytale aspect will appeal to the younger generation whilst for the older target of our audience, it will create a nostalgic effect.
Whilst this is only one of the four fairytales featured in our music video, the striking imagery with the landscape and costume is appropriate for our chosen band and their consumer. I then went on to edit this photo - 1. by enhancing the colours, 2. by taking the colour out so that it has a faded sepia tone. On asking my peers - who fit the age range - the coloured version was preferred and I will therefore take this into account when choosing the photo that will feature on the front of the cd.
This image was taken at the UEA Lake, the same location featured in our music video, and I enhanced the colours so that it was more striking in order to catch our target audience's eye. However, this will most likely not be chosen to go on the front of the digipak as it isn't as relevant as the previous images and therefore doesn't reflect the song well enough. But it can still go on the inside since it still has the magical feel that I am looking for in order to represent the song and "Coco and the Butterfields", and it compliments the other photographs with the natural imagery.
Like the swan image, these last two images would be most suitable either on the back or inside of the cd since it doesn't represent the song as much as the previous images. However, the forest image would work nicely on the back of the cd, should the Hansel & Gretel image be used (above) for the front. It would compliment the image and fit in with the forest/lake imagery of the front.
This photo would work well behind where the cd would be placed as its circular shape would compliment that of the disc. It also reflects the flower imagery featured in our music video throughout, making it a suitable picture to feature in the cd.

Well doe Chloe for posting your digi pac planning. The photographs are great but may lack appeal to your audience demographic who may associate teacups with ladies who lunch and make fairy cakes, though this could be your intention!
ReplyDeleteThe images you have posted could be manipulated in order to achieve a surreal effect. For example tilting the teacup or using your photograph of the tea cup on panel 3 for the disk tray though you have considered the photograph of the rose for this panel.
The photograph of Danielle and Bill as Hansel and Gretal, I suggest whilst editing on photo shop you add colour effects.
Looking through your music video for great images

Have you any stills of Danielle in the Red Riding Hood costume?
The photograph of the swan is excellent and of the rose. What your print productions need to reflect is the magical realism/surrealism that you communicate in your music video.
The image of the forest...yes good idea for the panel you use the panel which includes your track list and institutional information
Keep up the good work, experimenting with photo shop using overlays is an idea to consider. Also whether you want 4 or 6 panels so that your digipak is like opening a book of fairy tales.
I've been thinking about your potential designs and have come round to agreeing that the teacup is a strong possibility. it is your own photograph and relevant to the theme of your music video. The swan is also a great photograph but perhaps you need to consider an image of Danielle as Red Riding Hood for one of the panels though I know either Billy or Bethany are using this idea.
ReplyDeleteGo to, these are book covers for stories about warriors in myth and fairy tale.

Also Google Images "Arthur Rackham" where you could manipulate any photographs or screen shoots.
Let me know how you get on.
