Finished Print Productions

 

Panel 1:

 

 Using the 'Coco and the Butterfields' logo, as seen in their E.P. 'Fip Fok', I am promoting both the band and the CD. The photograph of one of the fairy tales featured in our music video immediately establishes the theme of the production I have made. It also can be linked to song and CD name 'Warriors', in which is my intention. This was inspired by the promotion of the 'Warriors' song that the band had created themselves where they too used a photograph of the characters featured in their own music video. In doing so, it links to the music video and its intention; to create a sense of magical realism and present the warrior protagonist in each classic fairy tale.

 

 

Panel 2:

The blue tone of this photograph contrasts that of panel 1 to create a sense of adventure - as in the music video which shows a female protagonist travelling through different fairy tale scenarios. It also creates a sense of illusion since the colour is tinted to suggest an out of ordinary experience, much like in the video. The low angle also hints to the audience who is the protagonist of the music video; we as an audience are watching her and therefore having her look down on us reinforces this.

 

Panel 3:

The blue rose has been edited to compliment the second panel to create a fluent and coherent digipak. Furthermore, in our music video, flowers are a repeated motif featured in each fairy tale. For example, in the first scene there are flowers on the table, in Alice in Wonderland there are flowers on the stairs and she is given one by the Mad Hatter. In Hansel and Gretel they are scattered on the ground, in Little Red Riding Hood they are in her basket and lastly in Goldilocks they are positioned in various places outdoors. Therefore, this photograph makes an appropriate and fitting panel 3 to create associations with my music video.

 

Panel 4: 

 To follow conventions of a CD, I included a bar code and company name in order to appear authentic. Furthermore, I aligned the text with the slant of the picture to create a organised and neat panel 4. This then looks subtle but effective. Based on feedback, it was suggested that I use the slanted text so that it appears more concise and organised, as oppose to busy and unprofessional. I featured another character of my music video to compliment the front panel which too features a character. This is so before the CD is opened, my audience can see from the back and front, the theme of the music video and the intention.
