The document discusses research done for a digi-pack album cover. The researcher looked at covers from similar indie rock bands like The Cribs to get ideas. A Cribs album cover caught their eye that featured two people holding hands under a street light, mirroring the relationship depicted in their music video. The researcher plans to photograph the main actress from their video under a street light to clearly link the cover to the video's storyline.

1. -34480538100Research for digi-pack.<br />The first step of my research for making my own digi pack was to research album covers from bands falling under the same genre as my own, which is Indie Rock so the research will come in useful when creating my own digi pack for “lights and sounds”. The research I discover will be suitable if the band is from the same genre because of the costumes and colours used and linked in with the genre. When researching bands, I can across a band called .The cribs, a 3 piece, indie and rock band, who grouped together in 2008. So they are quite a recent, modern and up to date band, just like Lights and Sounds are. <br />When I found the band, I researched their album covers and watched their music videos to compare any similarities between the two, concentrating on the styles and colours that were repeated from the music video, interpreted into their digi- pack. <br />One album cover for The Cribs caught my eye and stood out from the rest because from looking at it, it seemed to fit the general story line and particular image I have created in my music video. <br />-45720022860As you can see in the image to the left, only two people are involved in the album cover, which is the same situation in my music video. On this album cover, it is clear to the audience that one is male, and the other is female and between them, they have a close relationship, due to them holding hands. In my video, the situation is two people, one male and the other female and they have a like for each other, and meet up together, so I think this album cover seems to tie in really well with my music video I am producing, which makes it good research. <br />I want to create a similar cover to this one because of the similarities it has to my music video. I plan to get my main cast that appears in my music video, Aimee, and take a photo of her under a street light. The street light is significant and will be very recognisable, showing that clear link between my music video and album cover. The street light appears many times in the video, and is the place where both the boy and girl meet on several occasions. <br />
