Digipak

Here is my plan for my digipak which is based off the album name where all images reflect that name of "What Separates me from you" The images link from the front cover to the inside and under the disk. I did this as A Day To Remember usually have very artistic drawn digipaks which link together throughout, which is why I took this idea and created my own version. I then opened up draw plus and tried to fill in the digipak with colour however the software did not like my drawing and would not colour correctly meaning I had to spend time a colour by hand my digipak. As you can see I swapped the back and inside as when I drew I realized that you would not be able to read the song names.

Looking at how my digipak has turned out I have decided it does not work therefore i need to change it. As in the music video's well as other music videos the woods is used I have decided I will take photographs of the band in the woods in order to create a new digipak.

Locations:

Woods: The woods symbolizes being alone and not fitting in, in the world therefore being in the woods all alone highlights that idea. The issue with this is the fact that it is outside means the weather will change which makes continuity editing important as I need the same lighting and weather throughout. 

Classroom: Boy and Girl paired together recently broke up it is awkward and difficult to talk to each other.

Drama Studio?/Small Hall?:  Drama studio curtains can be pulled back creating a dark room as well as access to lights making a good performance video. However if this cannot be used them could use small hall as it is isolated and a small room where a real band could rehearse however drama studio is preferred as it has more desirable lighting to film in that also reflects the genre. The issue with the drama studio is I would need to get someone to work the lighting board meaning I must create a lighting sheet.

Outside sixth form: one shot shows the main boy walking into school.

Lounge: watching TV to show a calm environment/ playing Xbox.
