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 and showing flashbacks of their relationship through the song. For the album, it recommends taking artistic elements from The Script album covers but making the band name more prominent. For the digipak, it outlines using images of the band and information about their careers and songs on the inside panels with a plain background.

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.
