Digipak Design

Above are some photos from my music video which I was planning on using for my digipak. I need to edit them on paint or photoshop and add some shots from other shooting locations.

I plan to use this image on the second panel of my digipak and I want to include a thank you message from the artist to her fans somewhere in the frame to show how grateful she is and to show that she likes to interact with her fans. I really like the framing of this shot as it focuses on both the green rural scenery in the background as well as the singer positioned in the foreground and in the centre of the shot. Also it looks like the singer is enjoying the nature surrounding her which contrasts with the urban part of the music video which I plan to include on the opposite panel in order to highlight the binary oppositions of the urban and rural themes.

I would like to include this image in my digipak as the sheep in the background reflect the natural theme of the music video and also show that the artist is interacting with nature which is very different to the urbanisation of the cars and grey buildings. 

I would like to use an image of the guitar in my digipak as it represents the singer as a carefree character who enjoys music. Also I think that the guitar symbolises the idea of music never going out of fashion and the idea of music fitting in in both rural and urban locations. Also the guitar is a key part of the mise-en-scene throughout my music video and gives the audience a taste of what is included in the music video which is another reason why I plan on using it. I have thought about including the guitar in an old fashioned polaroid shot as it informs the the audience of the relevance of the guitar both in the past and present day.

I would like to use one of these two shots on my fourth panel as I like the framing on the artist in the centre of the forest as well as the colour of the branches. I like the shot of the artist looking behind her because it looks as if she is reminiscing and trying to remember nature as if it is in the past. However the shot of her facing the front looks as if she is trying to look into the future to find that technology is taking over and is more dominant than nature. 

Another shot I am planning on using in my music video is this shot of the artist walking out of the telephone box which symbolises the old fashioned aspect of the video and it also insinuates the idea that artist doesn't rely on smartphones like today's society. I also think it would be a good idea to have this shot reversed at the end to represent society going back in time and not depending so much on technology any more.
