DigiPack

For my CD Cover design I will hand draw the design the scan it into photoshop to add colours to it and refine any lose ends and also make it looks sharper and add contrast to make it look like it wasnt jsut drawn on a piece of paper then cut out and put in the CD case.


(Original Album Cover for the Album the song is from, above.)









The Advertisement will probably have a smaller version of the digipack in the corner but the main will probably be a high-quality picture blending into a black background with maybe some white stripes braking it up.

Movement

Looking into sad/moving media texts and they tend to use a lot of close up shots of eyes, mouths, fingers, quivering lips, close-up shots of a tear moving very slowly down the face, downwards looking and very smooth shots, however the edit is still quickly cut.
I'm going to include these shots as I feel they're important in trying to evoke an emotional response from the audience.
Also I think it could be good to include shots of water related scenes i.e rain, overflowing gutters, dripping, bleak taps and still water.
The sequences of water shots could come before the quick shots of the black and white background story of the guy remembering what he'd done. The video would start with a fading in shot of the guy playing the piano, then we would follow this as the main narrative and this would be them man who performs, putting a lot of energy and passion into this song and as it comes back down we see his quivering fingers on the piano keys, and soft rolling tears down his cheeks. To his left is a window with rain splashing down the glass. On key chord changes it would go the the flashbacks of him and his girlfriend. The next set of flashbacks would be her cheating on him. The next set would be him attacking her. The next set would be him realising what he had done. After each flashback his face will clench up in regret. Also whilst the girl is singing at the start of the song we see her sitting in the dark and we will see the quivering fingers and so on with her aswell. A close up shot of a detail of some blood on her hand will be seen and at the end of the song her hand will appear on the guys shoulders with the same detail, then he looks at it, then as he turns round expecting to see her she is gone.

I can never seem to be able to get the actors on time or reliably and so I am going to do something simpler with a different song which I hope will draw a more emotional response from the audience as apposed to just something to watch with the video. This does mean using a different song which will be 9 Crimes by Damien Rice. It's a similar pace/genre to Atmosphere however the lyrics are around a different topic. I read into them as a woman cheating on her boyfriend and him taking harsh revenge and then seriously regretting it afterwards. For this song I will subtly follow the lyrics, as I think, for this piece, it will achieve a better response.

Lyrics:


Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
With you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I'd do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
If you dont shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright with you?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?

No...
