Bastille digipak analysis
The album cover features the artist's name and personal symbol prominently displayed at the top, with the record label name below in smaller text. The artwork depicts a boy running away from headlights that appear to be chasing him, suggesting a theme of fleeing or being pursued. Production credits are listed at the bottom in the style of a movie or DVD cover, implying the album has a cinematic quality to its music videos.
Advert deconstruction 1
This document summarizes the key features of a Coldplay album advertisement. The ad is split into two sections - an upper section with a band photo and a lower black/white section. The lower section prominently displays the band name, album name, and release date in white text on a black background. It also includes a small album cover image and website URL. These visual elements are intended to clearly communicate the necessary information to viewers about the artist, album, and release date while piquing their interest to learn more.
Final cd ancillary tasks
This document discusses the design process for a CD cover and inserts. Several logo and image designs were rejected before finalizing the cover, which features the artist framed by Tower Bridge in grayscale with color only on the artist. The back cover similarly features the artist in color on a black and white background. The inserts include lyrics and dedications pages that continue featuring the artist alone in various poses to maintain consistency and sex appeal across the release.
Digipak Research: Taylor Swift - 1989
The front cover of Taylor Swift's 1989 album conveys a sense of aging through its polaroid-like imagery and title. It features a faded polaroid photo of Taylor Swift with handwritten text. While atypical for indie pop, the artist's image draws on her established fan base. The soft, warm tones of the cover imply the music will have a similar nostalgic, positive theme. Inside the digipak are more polaroid photos with handwritten lyrics, maintaining continuity between the imagery and nostalgic theme throughout the packaging.
Bad blood
The document analyzes the design conventions used in the digipak for the album "Bad Blood" by Bastille. On the front, the band name and album title are prominently displayed at the top in a stencil font representing the urban and indie music style. Credits are listed at the bottom and a character is depicted running from headlights. On the back, the same font is used and the track listing provided, along with a view of headlights the character was fleeing. Standard elements like the barcode and label logo are also included. The disc maintains the style through use of the font on its minimalist design.
Intertextuality in Titanium
This document discusses the concept of intertextuality and provides examples found in the music video for Titanium by David Guetta featuring Sia. It references how Titanium contains allusions to films by Steven Spielberg from the 1970s-80s that create a sense of suburban American childhood. Specifically, it references how the video borrows the same child actor from JJ Abrams' 2011 film Super 8, an homage to Spielberg. The document analyzes how these intertextual references enhance the video's representations and position audiences.
Conventions of CDs
The document discusses the typical elements found on an album cover, using Selena Gomez's album cover as an example. It explains that the artist's name is usually the largest text and appears prominently at the front to identify the artist. The main image takes up the whole front cover and aims to represent the music's style. The album name is also on the front in smaller text. Key information like the barcode, song list, record label, and copyright details are typically on the back cover.
Goodwins theory applied to indie music video
Goodwin's theory consists of 8 principles for analyzing music videos: 1) links between lyrics and visuals, 2) links between music and visuals, 3) genre characteristics, 4) intertextual references, 5) notions of looking, 6) voyeurism, 7) demands of the record label, and 8) whether it is performance, narrative, or concept based. The Smiths' "Panic" video follows most of these principles by synchronizing the lyrics, visuals, and music, portraying genre characteristics through clothing and smoking, and not including intertextual references or voyeurism likely due to being an independent label.

Usher
The front cover of Usher's Confessions album features the artist wearing jewelry with a woman whispering in his ear, conveying the theme of confession. The border mimics a confession booth screen. The side image again places the artist in a confession booth with consistent lighting, colors, and border design. The back cover keeps these elements of consistency while displaying the track list above a topless Usher wearing jewelry to appeal to female fans.
Conventions
The document discusses conventions for album covers, back covers, inside covers, and magazine advertisements across different music genres. It notes that album covers often feature the artist and relate to the genre's imagery. Back and inside covers usually list the tracklist and credits. Magazine ads prominently display the artist, album, release date, and where to buy the album. Overall, conventions provide recognition of the product while allowing room for uniqueness.
Digipack
Digi packs are cardboard packaging with an inner plastic holder for a CD. The front displays aspects of the artist and teases the album's portrayal. The imagery relates to the album's lyrics and themes. Although CDs are declining, true fans will buy digipacks as a show of loyalty to the artist.
Assignement 13
This document analyzes and compares different album covers and music videos by the artist Olly Murs. It notes that his earlier album covers featured a more casual, childish style with handwritten fonts, while later covers had a more professional, stylish look. His music videos for singles "Right Place Right Time" and "Never Been Better" both focus on Olly Murs and match the color schemes and styles of the album covers. Across all his products, the key consistent element is Olly Murs himself, who is always portrayed as the main focus and as a cheeky, funny, stylish British performer.
Magazine advert analysis
This magazine advertisement analyzes Green Day's single album "Wake me up when September ends". The song was written by Billie Joe Armstrong about his father who died of cancer on September 1st, 1982. At his father's funeral, Billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room, telling his mother when she knocked "Wake me up when September ends", which became the title. The advertisement features a dramatic font in black, white and red to represent the rock/alternative genre. It shows a screenshot from the music video depicting explosions from the song's narrative. The close-up of Billie Joe with mattered hair and eye shadow aims to represent his feelings about the song and his father through an "emo" character
Andrew goodwin’s theory
Goodwin's theory outlines six conventions commonly found in music videos:
1. A relationship between the lyrics and visuals that can illustrate, amplify, or contradict the lyrics.
2. A relationship between the music and visuals that can illustrate, amplify, or contradict the music.
3. The inclusion of genre-related styles and iconography.
4. Frequent close-ups of the artist to promote them or develop motifs.
5. The common use of voyeurism, especially regarding female artists.
6. Intertextual references to other media, often in a humorous way.
Kings of Leon album package
The print ad promotes Kings of Leon's album "Only by the Night" and single "Use Somebody". The album cover features a collage of the band members' faces mixed with an eagle against a green and black infrared-style background, representing the album's theme of night. Both the album and single covers continue this theme through their use of colors like black and white that resemble stars and night vision. Font styles are also consistent between the covers, conveying a secretive and coded message that ties into the album title. The ad primarily promotes the album but also highlights some of its hit pre-released singles to draw attention from fans of the band.
Digipack for Media
Digi packs are cardboard packaging with an inner plastic holder for a CD. The front displays aspects of the artist and teases the album's portrayal. The imagery relates to the album's lyrics and themes. Although CDs are declining, true fans purchase digipacks as a show of loyalty to the artist.
Music adverts
This document contains summaries of 4 different album covers. The first album cover by Jessie J features a gold and black color scheme which may indicate a risqué album. The Ellie Goulding cover corresponds to the album title "Lights" as the image shows her illuminated. Most music adverts feature a mid-shot of the artist posing but the one analyzed has additional text. Rihanna's cover is less risqué than usual and features red, possibly suggesting a romantic theme to the album given the association of red with love.
Magazine adverts into indie genre (1)
This document analyzes magazine advertisements for albums by indie artists Adele, The Kooks, and Tom Odell. It finds that indie ads typically use thin white or green font for the artist name, with black and white backgrounds and natural makeup styles. The Kooks ad features a woman in the mountains rather than the band. Tom Odell's ad uses neutral colors and shows him in a jean shirt with black top. Overall, the ads emphasize bold white font, natural backgrounds, and neutral costumes to convey the indie genre.
Media Music Video Conventions
This document summarizes the theories of four scholars on music videos:
1. Andrew Goodwin identified 4 key elements of music videos: thought-through beat, link between song and visuals, narrative/performance, and star image.
2. Deborah Holdstein believed videos fall into political themes or traditional musical themes, and help artists connect with fans. She analyzed Michael Jackson's "Beat It" video.
3. Sven Carlson's theory is that binary opposition drives videos forward. Videos are either conceptual or performance-based. He sees performers as commercial products or invisible "electronic shamans".
4. Carlson cites Sia's "Chandelier" as an example
Texual analysis of own digi pack
The document analyzes and summarizes the textual elements of a digipack for a fictional band's album. The front cover features the main subject from the band's music video floating in water with flowers, referencing the album title "Head Above the Water" and themes of nature. Inside pages showcase band members dressed in indie style and linked to imagery from the music video. The CD features a water-themed marbled pattern and wave motif connecting it to the brand identity. Lyrics from the title track are included. The back cover displays the singer in smoke with the track list reflecting water themes and a white border linking the consistent style.
Media new
Goodwin identifies 4 key elements of music videos: thought through beat, link between song and visuals, narrative and performance, and star image. He implies videos use genre characteristics, like rap videos featuring artists talking about money. Holdstein believes videos are divided into political themes and those rivaling traditional musical themes. Carlson's theory is that binary opposition drives videos forward, and they fall into conceptual or performance categories. He describes performers as commercial exhibitionists or televised bards, and sometimes electronic shamans who anchor visuals without appearing.
J cole
J Cole poses broodingly on the album cover for "The Sideline Story". His clothing displays his musical genre while the changing room in the background creates an unconventional juxtaposition. Symbolic alterations to letters in his name and the positioning of design elements like the title imply meanings about the album's possible themes of contrast and layers.
Magazine Advert Research
The advertisement features the same album cover art and positioning of title and artist name as the actual album. It lists the album title and one of its singles, describing the single as the "#1 international smash" to encourage audience purchase. The ad also includes logos and websites for the artist, record label, and Amazon to direct buyers where they can obtain the album.
genre research
This document provides definitions and examples of different music genres including pop, alternative rock, and R&B. For pop music, it notes characteristics like verse-chorus form, focus on melodies and hooks, and themes of love/relationships. Alternative rock usually follows a narrative with close-ups of bands and cuts between performance and narrative. R&B songs often focus on love/breakups, with female artists fully clothed and videos typically using sepia/grayscale tones. Examples of artists in each genre are provided, and Ellie Goulding's "Still Falling For You", Twenty One Pilots' "Heavydirtysoul", and Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" are analyzed.

Deconstructions of 3 cd covers
The document analyzes and summarizes the key elements of three different CD covers:
Tegan and Sara's "Sainthood" album cover features the singers looking away from the camera with one behind a cut-out image, lacking typical band/title information. Panic! At The Disco's "Vices & Virtues" cover uses steam punk themes and displays the band logo and album title prominently. Haim's "Days Are Gone" cover shows the band members cross-legged and looking away with sunglasses, positioned in grass and sand backgrounds.
Andew Goodwin's theory on Illustration, amplification and disjuncture
Andrew Goodwin identified three ways that a music video can connect to the song: illustration, amplification, and disjuncture. Illustration directly illustrates the song lyrics visually. Amplification builds on the song's meanings through performance and narrative. Disjuncture intentionally ignores the song's content and genre to create new meanings, often using abstract imagery unrelated to the lyrics.
The script digipack
The album cover features a close-up shot of the lead musician in front of the other band members against a desert landscape, conveying the album's nature and indie themes. The CD is plain black with a gold atom symbol representing the album title "Science & Faith". Throughout the cover, a script-like background and black and white imagery of hands symbolize diversity and send a positive message. Though plain, the natural setting and symbols used make the genre and band easily recognizable.
Magazine analysis
This magazine advertisement promotes Kings of Leon's 2008 album "Only by the Night". It uses a unique night vision effect photo that merges photos of each band member, representing their equality. This graphic image catches the eye and relates to the album title through its dull green shades and grainy effect. The ad's generic layout clearly communicates the band, album, and release date using bold fonts on a black background.
Album artwork
Willie Dixon's 1970 blues album "I Am the Blues" features a black and white portrait of Dixon sitting and clapping on a creased backdrop. The earthy tones and Dixon's relaxed pose aim to portray his down-to-earth personality and appeal to mature blues fans. The rounded font for the title reflects the playful side of Dixon's blues sound.

- Bastille's "Bad Blood" cover prominently displays their name to establish identity, uses a distinctive font and features the lead singer running to signify a journey.
- Angels & Airwaves' "I-Empire" cover depicts all band members equally and uses a minimalist design/colors that contrast typical alternative rock styles.

Digipak
The album art and poster for the band's 2007 album "Riot!" featured a consistent orange hand-scratched font for the album name that became a trademark visual element. The album cover showed the band from above against a white background, while the poster lacked the busy background to draw more attention to the band image. Both the album and poster emphasized the band members and album name through visual elements and font choices to clearly link the two promotional items and center attention on the band.
Tanya's Digipak
The document discusses the album art, packaging, and promotional strategies for several albums. It describes elements like the album covers, posters, fonts, and color schemes used, noting where they are consistent across materials or reference the band's style. Details like images of band members, tracklists, and phone numbers used in promotions are summarized. The minimal or intricate designs, as well as illustrations relating to song themes, are emphasized as unique identifying traits for the bands.
Album release
An album release poster advertises a new album by featuring the album artwork and providing information like the release date and record label. It aims to promote popular songs from the album to attract a wider audience beyond just fans. The poster summarizes key details about the album in a concise way to encourage people to learn more and potentially purchase the album.
Digipak research
The document summarizes three digipaks from the R&B genre based on their cover designs. It discusses Kayne West's "Graduation" album, which features illustrations of a bear representing the artist flying away from university. It uses bright colors consistent with house music. Childish Gambino's "Because the Internet" uses light pastel colors and a hologram/GIF of the artist to portray the internet as a paradise. Finally, it analyzes Drake's "Take Care", which prominently features a close-up image of the artist in black and gold colors to portray him as classic and timeless. All three covers effectively represent the artists' styles and themes within the conventions of their genres.
Digipak Analysis
The document analyzes and summarizes the digipak designs of three albums: Bastille's "Bad Blood", Fall Out Boy's "Save Rock and Roll", and Foxes' "Glorious". For Bastille's album, the front cover features the lead singer running away from a car, implying a storyline. The design has a cinematic feel reflecting indie conventions. Fall Out Boy's cover shows a "punk and monk" holding hands, representing tradition and change clashing. The design appeals to alternative fans through its rough styling. Foxes' debut album focuses on her image on the front with a simple yet feminine design, implying vulnerability and relatability to target a female audience.
Magazine Adverts Analysis
Research into magazine adverts for the release of digipaks. I choose to look at adverts in NME as they feature bands close to our genre.
Rock Cover Analysis
This document analyzes and compares the album covers of three rock bands: Slipknot, Paramore, and Aerosmith. It notes that Slipknot's cover features the recognizable band members in masks, fitting their dark image. Paramore's cover features a butterfly symbolizing the band. Aerosmith's cover is in the shape of a skull made of children and toys, keeping their heavy rock image while being unusual. It also discusses common elements included on back covers.
Magazine Advert Analysis
The document discusses promotional posters and images used for two albums:
Imagine Dragons' debut album "Night Visions" from 2012, and Frank Ocean's 2016 album "Blonde". For Night Visions, the poster featured symbolic imagery of a boy on pillars rather than band members, to focus on the music over the unknown band. For Blonde, a series of images in Ocean's magazine used the album cover and title prominently, conveying themes also found in the music videos and album itself.

The document discusses how a music promo video for a band both uses conventions of real music videos but also challenges some conventions.

Genre In Detail Summary - Fateh Khaled
The document discusses music genres and the four main genres of music videos: pseudo-documentary, art music video, narrative, and staged performance. It provides examples for each genre and notes that some music videos combine genres or evolve over time. Genres are negotiated and not clearly defined, but provide a framework to understand music and music videos.
Uses and Gratifications
Uses and Gratifications theory developed by Blumler and Katz posits that audiences are active in choosing and interpreting media to fulfill certain needs rather than passively consuming media. They identified key needs that drive media use such as escapism, information, pleasure, and social comparison. The theory has five main components: audiences are active, initiative in media selection lies with audiences, media competes with other need satisfiers, goals of media use can be understood through audience self-reporting, and value judgments about media should be suspended to explore audience perspectives. The document discusses how this theory relates to understanding why audiences would consume the creator's music video product.
Auteur theory - By Fateh Khaled
The document discusses the Auteur theory in filmmaking. It was introduced in the 1950s by French directors who argued that the director's vision is what gives a film its style. An Auteur is a director whose work has a distinctive and recognizable style. The theory was further developed by American directors like Andrew Sarris. It emphasizes that while filmmaking requires collaboration, the director's vision as the leader shapes the final work. The document also provides Harold "HYPE" Williams as an example of an Auteur in music videos, noting his distinctive use of colored banners, fisheye lenses, and reinforcement of hip hop culture in his award-winning videos.
Audiences - Fateh Khaled
The document discusses several theories about how audiences interact with and are influenced by media. It begins by describing the hypodermic needle model from the 1920s, which proposed that audiences passively receive information from media without questioning or processing it, and are easily manipulated. It then discusses criticisms of this model and the two-step flow theory proposed in the 1940s that information spreads from media to opinion leaders to less active associates. Later theories discussed include uses and gratifications theory, which suggests audiences actively use media to fulfill certain needs, and reception theory, which considers how meaning is encoded in media texts and decoded by audiences.

Why Genre Changes Over Time?
The document discusses how genres change over time due to changes in audiences and their expectations. As audiences become more sophisticated, they expect genres to follow familiar codes and conventions but also offer something new. Genres also change as target audiences change, reflecting broader societal changes in values and representations. New technologies further impact genres by changing film production and the audience experience. Individual influential texts, directors, authors, and stars can also significantly shape genres over time.
