We chose the cartoon effect for the front cover which was inspired by the original CD cover this is also a running theme for most of their other CD covers aswell. We also chose the grey for the back cover beacuse we like the contrast between the light and dark and also it conveys a meaning as mention in a earlier post.




This is our advert for our magazine this will be inside a magazine , e.g the hmv leaflet, fashion magazine, music magazines also like vibe and nme. We need to improve the hmv logo By removing the white and add the price of the cd. Also take some of the harsness out of the picture so it is more soft to match its surrounding and add the picture copyright and brighten up the SSSHHHHH in the left hand corner.

Final Proposal for CD cover and Advert

CD cover

Use screen grabs from the music video for the front and back cover. The front cover will be colour with bold bright writing may have an effect on it to look like a painting. The image for this could be the lips or a scene filmed in the snow. The back will be black and white with and effect on it, either a sketch or a grain. The images that could be used is the walking towards the water, water rippling or the pulling away of the hands. We chose it to be like this because it is like what the girl is feeling split between the two ones is making her happy (front with bright colours) i think the side view of her in the snow is the best because she looks vunerable and the (back) her sad and upset. the image with her walking away is the best because there is sunlight in the picture which shows there is hope and possible happiness even though it is breaking through the dark mood.

Advert

Using the HMV duffy advert layout. but with colour instead to match the CD cover and use a image featured in the music video in the clip with the array of photos, the image best suited is the one where she looks as if she is thinking about something.

CD cover

For the CD cover we are thinking of using lips and maybe a screen grab of part of the music video or a picture used in the music video for the back. for the inside of the CD case we will use shot fifteen with the scattered photos so when you lay the CD case down on the desk it is like you see the scene when she is looking at the photos.


Another ideas to turn the lips into a flower in the front cover by repeating the lips and have them coming from the center for the back of the case a photo of a mic using the wire to create a heart on the stage and for the inside a persons mouth with there fingers to there lips saying sshh.




Another idea is to have the performer in black and white styled (a bit like Cheryl Cole's album) with red lips but in black and white and for the back a different pose with fingers to the lips saying sshh. for the inside use the picture of the to girls walking away holding hands.


Another idea is to use the same front cover idea as above but have a picture featured in the music videos as the background looking like we are viewing it through the glass.

Another idea is to use screen grabs from the shots of the music video filmed out
doors with the artist posing in different ways on all the front cover surface.



This is one of our early ideas we used images from the Internet a manipulated the front cover to look like pop art using distorting the image and highlighting the red lips and placing the album title and and artist name around. we blured the image on the back and placed the barcode, copyright and record company on the back along with the tracklist. We felt the cover was to plain and did not go with the song if we chose a different genre of music them maybe it would have worked better.

Advert

I like this advert because the use of her make up and hair standing out. i like the use of graffiti for the words giving it an edgy look and making it different and stand out from the conventional posters. It does not give much information about the CD except the month there is no information about where you can get it from. Despite not giving much information it creates a buzz of people wondering and want to search for it. The way she is looking directly at the camera makes you feel like she is looking at you.
I like this advert because it can be taken straight from the music video and just add the words around the performer. The fact it is a screen grab from the performance and not a staged photograph. It is in the moment seeing the artist do there thing.
i like the style of this advert. the hmv logo stands out amongst the black and white. I like how effective the black and white creates a mood. it also follows how our CD cover is with black and white and color. this could be seen in a music or fashion magazine because the picture looks like a editorial picture, the main focus is always on the artist because that is the whole background.

Filming Schedule

Casting

Three actors are going to perform the main girl in the narrative who is also our performer. She will have around 4 outfit changes for various locations and different memories. The boyfriend who will have around 1 outfit and the other girl (the secret) will have around 2. The props that will be used is a mobile phone, lipstick and photographs. locations to be used is different areas of the park and the town center.

Final Proposal

Working title: No Doubt - Don't Speak
Channel for broadcast: 4 music because it shows various genres of music so not restricted because the song doesn't really have a genre. Has specials where it shows music from certain years and artist videography of there career so far. On the other hand the channel most appropriate would be MTV classic because the song was made in 1996 even thought the clothes featuring in our production are going to be more modern the song still fits in that era we have just taken a new interpretation of the lyrics.
Target Audience: 17 + male and female gender, all class and ethnicity because there is more than one meaning to the song therefore it can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the listener and it depends on the listeners style of music whether they like the song.
Genre: The type of music video that we have portrayed is a combination pf performance and storyline because we want to show a mix of shots and create depth to the lyrics by showing flashbacks of what a lead role and performer is thinking about as she is singing.
Style: over saturating of colours we want to stand out, b&w to show the past and also having a higher white balance to make it seem dream like and hazy. Overlapping of scenes to show the jumble of memories. Slow motion to show actions which are crucial to our storyline.
