The document proposes ideas for a music video, album, and digipak for a fictional band. For the music video, it suggests following a man who has recently lost his girlfriend in an accident, showing flashbacks of their relationship through the song. For the album, it recommends taking artistic elements from The Script's album covers but making the band name larger. For the digipak, it outlines using images of the band on the front and back with information about the songs, band members, and background on the inside panels.

1. GROUP IDEA
Karis, Lucy and Eleanor

2. Our idea: The Man who Can’t Be Moved
by The Script
◦ Our idea for this song by The Script is for the video to
follow the theme of loosing someone but not to
portray it through the visuals matching the lyrics. In our
video we want there to be a man who has recently just
tragically lost his girlfriend in an accident, throughout
the music video we will input flashbacks of their
relationship before she dies; but we will only reveal
that she is dead at the end of the video. Throughout
the music video we will also include clips of the band
performing in a studio with a lot of close ups making
the video more intimate. We will use a lot of match
edited cuts to go through each of the flashbacks as
well as using a time lapse at the start to show the
passing of time but in a more unique way.

3. Album
idea
All of The Script album covers are presented in a very artistic way, even when
they include the band themselves. The cover for the album ‘#3’ includes all
three band members but the way that they are presented on the album is in
the shape of a head, by doing something like this makes the album more eye
catching to the audience making them want to pick it up; it also makes it
more personal to the audience as it includes images of the band themselves.
Whereas the cover for ‘No Sound Without Silence’ has a graphic design on it
but is as equally eye catching as the cover for ‘#3’.
For our album cover I think we will try and interpret the artistic elements that
they feature in their albums but will also try and interpret the band member
within those artistic features. I also think that we will make the album name
slightly bigger than what The Script do as on theirs the focus is more on the
image than the name, whereas on ours I think that we will increase the size of
the text.

4. Band name
For the main image on the
front cover of the album,
we are going to try and
follow the convention of
what The Script do on the
majority of their album
covers, we might make it
artistic with using the band
members themselves as we
wont have access to the
software to create a
graphic image like some of
theirs. We also might just
do a simple image of our
band on the cover with the
name of the band
alongside of the title not
taking away any focus from
the band themselves just of
them.
For the name of the band the font that we will use wont be too eye-catching and
making it too difficult for the audience to understand, but at the same time
memorable to the audience. We will also be changing the name of our band to add
more uniqueness to the our band.
On the back of the
album we are going to
have all the new songs
that we have come up
with to go with the new
name of the band. The
background of the back
will just be plain with no
added design just to
keep all the focus on the
new material that they
have created.
Down the spine of the album we will have just the name of the band and the
name of their new album. The background of the spine will be the same colour as
the back of the CD. The font and text size of the bands name will be bigger than
the name of the album just to make sure the audience know of the bands name.

5. Digipak idea
Front: On this panel of the
digipak we will have an image
of the band, different to what
will be on the front of the cd
cover. The image will follow
conventions like the artistic
elements similar to what the
main image will be on the front
cover.
Back: on the back the digipak
we will have all the names of
the songs on the album as
well as who is featured on
each track. We will also
include which band members
wrote the song and who else
had an input.
On this panel we will have
individual introductions to each
band member giving the
audience the chance to get to
know each of the band
members as an individual not as
just a guitarist for example. This
will help the audience build a
personal bond with the band.
On this panel we will
include what the band have
achieved so far in their
career, giving the audience
some background
knowledge into the band
helping them get to know
them better.
On this panel we will have a
selection of images of the
band including individual
head shots and images of
the band members as well
as fun shots showing of
their personality as a band.
On the front and back of
the digipak the image will
be of the band but trying to
use the conventions of The
Script by trying to put
some artistic elements into
the images as well as
including the band. For the
rest of the panels we will
have just a plain
background, probably light
grey with an uprising
gradient so none of the
attention is taken away
from the information being
displayed for the audience.

6. Digipak
On the cover of the digipak
there is an image of the band
The Script, the lead singer
Danny is at the front of the
image and is the main focus
of the cover; the rest of the
band is placed behind him.
The image is set of a location
setting making the image
seem more natural. Also with
including the band on the
cover of the digipak can
attract the audience more
and more personal, it also
gives the audience more
chance to recognize the band
instead of just having some
art work and not knowing
who they are.
On the cover of the booklet
inside the digipak and on the
back of the case, there are two
images of hands both in
different positions, but both
portray a strong message of
being together and the idea of
coming together. The writing on
the back of the cover the writing
of the song order is very small
and doesn’t really catch the eye
the attention is more on the
image of the hand, for our
digipak I think we will use a
bigger text and stretch it out
longer to take up more room
and use a plainer background
than what is on this one.
The CD design has an image on it making it very attractive to the eye
instead of just having a plain CD, however the image doesn’t really have
any connection to the rest of the theme of the digipak; it is a very nice
design and is very eye-catching.
