The document discusses planning for an album cover, including font, locations, camera shots, lighting, clothing, accessories, hair, age, and ideology. Key details include choosing a simple font for readability, shooting at a cinema to connect to a music video, considering long shots and mid-shots of the band, using natural lighting, depicting common indie styles like chinos and vans, and portraying the band members as resembling other indie bands in terms of age and appearance.

2. Font
Here is an example of the font my group and I were thinking of. These fonts are simple. We
choose simple designs for the name of our band because we want our audience to be able to
read it clearly. As the name of the band is one of the most important pieces of an album
cover, we want the audience to easily recognize the name so they will remember it more.
Here are examples of the font my group and I were considering for the name of the album.
We choose these fonts because they look hand written and this will make the album cover
look more personal. I think this will make the target audience feel more connected to the
band because of the more personal feel to the album cover.

5. Lighting
This lighting we are planning to use is high key lighting. This is because our album cover will
look more professional and our band will look more like ‘stars’ as the quality will be high.
If we aren’t able to produce an album cover with high key lighting, then we will just use
natural lighting as this is easier and will create the professional outcome which I desire for my
album cover.
