digipack artwork

This album artwork is a brilliant representation of the feel to this particular album by Jimmy Eat World. Black takes over the majority of the cover, already showing the songs are going to be dark. the simplistic capital titles stay insignificant so the viewer focuses of the photography. The choice of monochrome shows this isn't going to be a happy album. The young man to the right hand side of the out of order phone box hangs his head although he's depressed, sad or lonely. I think what he is trying to say is that he's finding it hard to reach out to people, he feels low but want to feel happier. This is shown by the use of lighting, as he stand in rays of light coming from the phone box which isn't working. The audience will know this rock artist had produced a pessimistic themed album that is one to listen to on a rainy day.

Album Artworks: Illustration

The foals album, antidotes, is a rather simple illustration of a teenage boy. The portrait shows some real character as the guy is good looking, smart hair and the top button done up on his shirt gives him the geek chic look thats been popular these past few years. The text looks and written and scruffy making the bands appearance seem smart in fashion yet not so squeeky clean in their music style representing the british indie rock genre. The illustrations eyes are pale blue and shadowed making his face appear glum and sad, which could hint to the audience that the album is going to be melancholic. I like the mixed colours in his mouth, it adds detail to the plain album artwork and signifies that the singer has a lot to say in this album.

Album Artworks: Photography

This album cover is a controversial piece of art featuring an innocent looking bright eyes young girl dressed in a rockers leather jacket and holding a lighter. It features aspects of religious images such as the angelic girl, blonde hair, eyes connecting with the viewer and the flame, but is contrasted with aspects of the rock genre which becomes shocking to some viewers. a small child isn't usually associated with lighters, as smoking is something teenagers and adults do, making the album seem rebellious. it fits in with their choice of title, light me up, and gives the audience an idea about the feel of the bands music. The main signer of this heavy rock band is a young pretty blonde herself, and at the age of 16 singing alongside older male rockers, this has stirred up a lot of talk, attention and media. I think this a brilliant representation of the bands image and music style presented in a basic close up photo because of the symbolism used with the zippo, her attire and the contrast with her age and the image an audience would expect a pretty girl to wear. This would appeal to their target audience of teenagers interested in rock as well as grabbing attention from those who like the rock image and are interested in the lead signer, Taylor Momsen, as she acts in the teen drama GossipGirl.

Final Storyboard so far...

Shot List

As i was listening to the lyrics of the song, i pictured the ideas i had created in the brainstorm and visualised how i wanted them to be shot. First of all i thought about the local fields, woods, gardens and toher areas local to me as i'm farmiliar to them and decided they would be a great setting to the video. As i have my Actress; Alice, and my Actor, Chris i could picture them in the scenes i want to create. By using the influence of the music videos i have analysed i could decided on the types of shots and the sequence i want them to be played in. This is the first shot list i created
