2. All Time Low are an American band, they fit into the pop-
punk genre along with bands such as Fall Out Boy, Blink-182
and Panic! At The Disco. They have 7 albums that they have
produced, on and off record labels. There is synergy with
their band logo, they have continued to use the same font,
the same idea of having the middle word large and the two
side words becoming slightly smaller on the ends. Some of
their album covers as have the skull between the L and T
and also the stars, lines and !. On the album ‘So Wrong It’s
Right’ there are the birds flying behind the girls, this is their
first real studio album, on their latest album ‘Future Hearts’
they decided to incorporate the birds back into their album
covers. All of the previous albums before Future Hearts have
featured some type of person on their design whether it is a
cartoon human or real life photos. For my album cover
3. Album Idea
All Time Low released a concert DVD in 2010, this features just mainly concert
footage. They announced that they would be releasing their new DVD of them playing
live in Wembley (along with You Me At Six), they let out a Straight To Soundtrack so
that is my idea. It is to create the soundtrack for the new DVD, with all the songs that
they play live at Wembley, then include a few of the live versions as well.
This is the setlist for their Wembley show, all together there are 21 songs that they
preformed. That would mean with the live versios of certain songs it would take the
album up to 25 songs. The full tracklist is:
1. A love like war
2. Lost In Stereo
3. Six Feet Under The Stars
4. Heroes
5. Stella
6. Somewhere In Neverland
7. The Irony Of Choking On A Lifesaver
8. Weightless
9. Remembering Sunday
10. Therapy
11. Kids In The Dark
12. Guts
13. Outlines
14. Damned If I Do Ya
Damned If I Don’t
15. Forget About It
16. Backsteat Serenade
17. Timebomb
18. Somethings Gotta Give
19. The Reckless and The Brave
20. Dear Maria
4. Song Choice
A lot of the songs on this album already have music videos, the ones in red indicate which songs already have
music videos. Since these songs already have music videos I am going to avoid doing these songs.
1. A love like war
2. Lost In Stereo
3. Six Feet Under The Stars
4. Heroes
5. Stella
6. Somewhere In Neverland
7. The Irony Of Choking On A
Lifesaver
8. Weightless
9. Remembering Sunday
10. Therapy
11. Kids In The Dark
12. Guts
13. Outlines
24. Damned If I Do Ya Damned If I
Don’t
15. Forget About It
16. Backsteat Serenade
17. Timebomb
18. Somethings Gotta Give
19. The Reckless and The Brave
20. Dear Maria
I would want an upbeat song to use, because it is easier to edit to, out of
all of these songs, the only three that aren’t up beat are Six Feet Under
The Stars, Therapy, Remembering Sunday and Guts. So that would leave
Heroes, Stella, Outlines, Forget About It and The Reckless and The Brave
to choose from. Stella is one of the more up beat songs out of these 5
songs, it is also one of the bands most popular tracks so it would be more
appealing to the audience to have a music video for this song.
Stella comes from their most popular album, Nothing Personal, this album
includes some of their biggest hits such as Lost In Stereo, Weightless,
Therapy, Damned If I Do Ya Damned If I Don’t.
5. Initial Video Ideas
Since this is the soundtrack to their Wembley DVD, it would be good incorporate the idea
of a concert into this music video. So my idea was to have the lead singer just leaving the
concert, this ties in the idea of the concert DVD without actually using concert footage
which would be hard to get a hold of. So it would just be his journey on the way home
from the concert, the other band members there as well coming in and out of the video,
similar to the way that Somewhere In Neverland Is Done. All Time Low also have shots of
them playing their instruments in nearly all of their music videos, so it would be good to
have those shots integrated somehow.
The way this video is done will be similar to the way the lead singer walks through their
'Weightless' video and also the idea of random things happening, just like in their
'Somewhere In Neverland' (SINL) video. The idea of it being similar to the SINL video is
that they are in different settings and locations throughout the video, not the animated
paper idea.

6. Style
The style of my digipak is going to be very informal and friendly, it is
going to have the colours red, blue and white like the theme of the
show poster. This is to keep synergy between all of the products I am
going to make. Each product will also have the skill and cross bones,
whether it is with or without the Union Jack design, it will still be there.
This is a way of noticing the band in magazines, posters, shops etc. I
have chosen to do this because throughout most of All Time Low’s
albums and other products they have usually featured the skull and
cross bones or the birds, so it would also appeal to the fans to see these
things continued.
7. DVD look
The DVD and the CD would have the same
look, just with the different names on.
They will be a plane silver CD, with their
updated version of the skull and cross
bones which was edited to have the
Union Jack design. This would be on both
discs, blown up so that some of the sides
are cut off. The title out be in the same
font as the to font used on the poster, it
would have their label logo on both discs
as well.
