Print Production Research (Similar Genre)
Our chosen track for our music video, 'When We Were Kids' by AnxiousAlibi comes under an 'indie pop' genre, therefore I thought it would be useful to research indie pop artists and their album artwork.
I came across a list of indie pop artists on wikipedia such as Lorde, Bastille and Kodaline.
All three of these album covers have similarities. For instance, the text is white and the font is simple, however it still stands out. Although, the images used are the main focus rather than the artists/albums name.
Lorde's album uses a close up of her face which is an extremely similar shot to one used in one of her music videos, therefore I may incorporate close ups of the actors of my music video in one of the panels in my digipak. Alternatively, in Kodaline and Bastille's covers, the location is what mostly grabs an audiences attention and makes it appealing; the locations would encourage customers to buy the albums as Kodaline's has a lovely scenery, but Bastille's is quite mysterious. Therefore, I would like the image on my front panel to be an appealing location. Perhaps mousehold where we filmed our best footage as you can see the Norwich City skyline and it looks beautiful. This would persuade people to buy the digipak.
There is a difference in the use of colour in these album covers,with two being quite bright and lively and the other being quite dark. This has inspired me to differentiate between colour on my front panel and my back panel in relation to using contrasting colouration between real time and events that happened in the past (flashbacks).
