Digipak and Magazine Advert Designs

For my digipak and magazine advert I will not be using a conceptual based art as this is not common among the genre that I am expressing.
I will be using traditional photography to create a digipak and magazine advert that directly link in some way.

I have chosen to use either of these fonts for the artist name of the album. I am unsure of which one to use as I feel they both represent the artist in the right way.

The Models...

I have chosen this lady because I feel she fits the image that I imagined the most, with a likeable appearance and soft features, I feel the audience will be able to relate to her and 'sympathise' with the narrative.

This is the natural look that I achieved in a 'practice' go for the make up. I like how it is almost invisible and makes the artist look 'down to earth'!

I have chosen this guy to act as the male role in my music video because he looks quite 'innocent' in a way. This will help the audience to relate to the female in the story allowing them to understand her, dilemma, if that's the right way of putting it!

Script and Shot Breakdown

This is my first draft of my script. These are the initial ideas which are very likely to change when it comes to story boarding and shot breakdown however this is the base the my music video I will be following...

Script – ‘Last Time’ by Taylor Swift featuring Gary Lightbody

Video

Lyrics(coloured)/ Narration/ Music/ FX

1.  LOCATION: A STREET There will be a sequence of tracking shot on the males’ feet that will change between his and the ladies feet. It will also include close ups of their faces silently walking. The idea is to show that they are walking and not knowing where they will end up. 2.  Close up shot of his face- singing first 2 lines of the song with a blank expression. 3.  LOCATION: INSIDE HOUSE Long shot of lady walking down stairs to the door, see who it is and sits down showing emotion (sad). 4.  LOCATION: OUTSIDE HOUSE Long Shot of the male on the outside of the front door. This shot will then develop into a split screen showing both sides of the door. 5.  LOCATION: STREET Back to a previous mid shot of his face when walking. 6.  Location: BY THE HOUSE Split screen of him singing the words against the door 7.  Close up of ladies face, crying eye 8.  LOCATION: STREET Mid shot of male walking and singing the lyrics. 9.  Jump cuts between all three shots mentioned above from male walking, female walking, to the split shot on the door. 10.         LOCATION: IN THE HOUSE Performance based chorus including mid shot and close ups of the artist and instruments. 11.         LOCATION: STREET AND HOUSE Shots of her walking and singing at the door and in her bedroom. 12.         First ‘flash back’ walking together in a field, tracking shot. 13.         Split screen and walking shots used again with performance shots at a piano.      14.Scene of them arguing and him leaving out the door, a close up of her face watching him leave and then going to sit by the door. 15.         Montage of different memories combined with the same situations of arguing and leaving. 16.         Combination of the split screen and close ups of faces depending on who is singing at a particular time. The shots will be mixed between the door and moments in time when they argue! 17.         Close ups of faces at door then to the split screen 18.         Walking shots with ‘flash backs’ they start to approach each other on the same road. 19.         They meet each other in the road and sing at each other, camera goes around them circling around them. 20.         A mixture of all shots before and the ending will either be her walking away from the door or opening it to let him in… not sure though!

Here are the first 2.09 minutes of the song broken down into the different shots that I am planning to use. These are likely to change in the editing process and restrictions when filming may cause shots to change. This will be what I will be using when filming the music video to ensure that I have all of the components that I will need when editing starts!
