Location shots

For my Kate Nash music video I've decided to film it in my house and backgarden because it sets a casual tone to the audience like the song.

Storyboard for Kate Nash music video

This is my storyboard for my Kate Nash music video. It helps me be prepared what I will film, what angles I will film etc. I have chosen the video to be based on lyrics and objects/ imagery

Poster Examples

Posters come in a variety and differ when it comes to genre for example font and artwork.
These two examples show the different in music styles, one of them is more electric drum and bass and the other is indie pop. The font on the poster for The Prodigy is jolty and huge capital letters in a bright font which represents the fast loud beats of their music style where as two door cinema club have gone with white capital letters. White usual represents innocence which links to having the image of a cat but also shows the innocence of their music, their music is quite light hearted.
The conventions of posters are obvious but some may be different. Having a photo of the album cover or just a random photo, bold font on the artist or album, tour dates/ release date of album, logo or producer.

Costume

The costume of characters in a music video tends to be laid back style i.e jeans, tshirt but Kate Nash has her own style of costume in her videos.

They tend to be "doll-like" and bright as she is more on the pop-indie scale of genre.

An example of her costume...

Here is my costume I have decided to use...

I have used this because it is similar to her style, I used a doll like dress and a small bow because she does not wear much other than a simple doll dress.

Laura Marlings style is usually characters that have dull clothing such as her video The Rambling man or this one where the artist just wears a hoodie.

In my Laura Marling video I got megan (actress) to wear a scarf and hoodie/jacket because it is a similar style but also in the lyrics (even though it is more based on storyline) a jacket and coat is mentioned.

Poster layout

Here are my poster layout designs that I shall choose from when creating my poster

Designs that inspire me for digipak cover

Before designing to front cover of a digipak I need to realize what covers (either cds or promos) inspire me for my digipak.

Kate Nash cd cover:




The use of photography combined with graphic art is much more appealing than just having a photograph of the artist. I may use this idea when designing and also it has been edited like cutouts and has block colours. Many of the music classed as "Indie" us block colours.

Sleeve examples

I have collected a variety of sleeves and this will be helpful when designing my foldout digipak.

The first two digipaks came from a music magazine targeting young people that listen to rock music, mainly male but can be female. The magazine is called rocksound and I recieved a brigade digipak and a digipak created by the magazine.

On the front cover the rocksound one, the graphics are very simple compared to The Brigade digipak because the first one is focusing on a few different tracks on one disc to promote their magazine so it uses a clever image to link with the title "Bugging your ears".

Both of the digipaks are made out of cardboard material and are not fold outs because now indie magazines use it as it is environmentally friendly and is less costly. So therefore when I create a design for a digipak it needs to be made out of cardboard

Overall the layout for the non foldable digipak would be a graphic or photographic image for the front cover, a title and a list of songs (or in my case music videos) that are included in it and maybe suggest there is a free poster inside the fold out sides.
