Album cover emplate Example

These two album covers (above) are an example of how I plan to make my album cover - its very basic in nature using an image or photograph at the centre of the photo with the album name being just below the eyes of the portrait,its writing is also of a simple but effective type with it just being bubble writing with black bolding to make it stand out more.

I looked at other albums such as foals album covers such as Foals Antidotes (left) however it seemed that album Art was very complicated and Artistic clearly done by a proffesional artist who had alot of time to spend on it which of that we do not have for our one so we decided that it would be much more simple to go with the less complicated front covers of our album cover in order to save time however still producing such as effective album cover.

The British Music Experience

Me and my group are planning to take a trip up to London to vist the BME, specifically to attend video director's master classes to gain a better understanding of video directing for our A2 music video.

The British Music Experience (or simply BME) is a permanent exhibition in the O2 arena in Greenwhich, it has been set up as a charitable trust and has been initially funded by £9.5m worth of investment from AEG
Major interactive exhibits which can be found in the museum include:

• Timelines
• Showcases
• Hey DJ!
• Where It's At
• Anatomy of a Pop Star

OPENING SEQUENCE

We recieved some inspiration from watching a music video, 'Foals - Hummer', for the opening of our music video. It starts with a close up of the drums playing along with the music, as each insturment comes in e.g guitar strums, vocals,(pictured) in the mini clip of each instrument popping in and out of shot. We decided to ruffly use this idea with us filming our band members in long shots playing along to the music, then taking these clips into iMovie and editing them to the beat of the music and was a successful start to our video with synching of the music and editing of the clips being extremely precise.

MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS PREZI

Before starting our planning for our own music video we looked at and analysed other music videos to show us the codes and conventions of music videos and to give us different ideas to put into our own music video. I used 'PREZIE' an interactive cloud-based presentation software and storytelling tool for exploring and sharing ideas upon a virtual canvas.

Planning Digi Packs

This is the original single cover for the Digi Pack for the song by 'The Maccabees' 'Precious time', its very basic only using two colours and a simple cartoon.
For our digi pack album cover we plan to use at least 4 prime colours however plan to keep the simpleness of the cover so although colourful simple.  

STORY BOARD

This is our draft for our storyboard which once created and photos taken we put into an animatic clip showing the timeline for our video shots on iMovie. These are the foundational ideas of our music video and although we plan to experiment with ideas as we progress we plan to follow the animatic sotryboard.
