CD/Digipak cover design

This is my design layout for my CD/Digipak.
The layout goes as follows:
  • Top left is my back cover
  • Top right is my front cover
  • Bottom left is my inside back cover
  • Bottom right is my inside front cover
The top left image is of a cloudy night sky with a moon.
The top right image is of an alarm clock which is related to our video.
The bottom left image is of our lead singer (Mackenzie) standing alone in our setting at night.
The bottom right image is of our setting on it;s own at night.

Conventions of a CD/Digipak

Conventions of a CD/Digipak are:

  • CD inside
  • Images

All of these things represent the band in a way which is easily recognisable for their target audience.

Music Video Idea Change

We have changed our idea of our song slightly as we have got further with our filming. We have stuck to the idea of Mackenzie being followed through a park and the part where he is sitting on a bed singing, but we have changed the idea of rewinding all of the previous footage to go back to the beginning. We decided to change this because it did not go with the song. We changed this to having a shot of leaves being blown across the floor at the quiet part of the song and then the image fading out to when the music starts up again. We thought that this fits in better with all the footage we have and it goes with the song. We will be filming this scene next as it is the last of our footage needed.
