GROUP IDEAKaris, Lucy and Eleanor

Our idea: The Man who Can’t Be Moved by The Script◦ Our idea for this song by The Script is for the

video to follow the theme of loosing someone but not to portray it through the visuals matching the lyrics. In our video we want there to be a man who has recently just tragically lost his girlfriend in an accident, throughout the music video we will input flashbacks of their relationship before she dies; but we will only reveal that she is dead at the end of the video. Throughout the music video we will also include clips of the band performing in a studio with a lot of close ups making the video more intimate. We will use a lot of match edited cuts to go through each of the flashbacks as well as using a time lapse at the start to show the passing of time but in a more unique way.

Album idea All of The Script album covers are presented in a very artistic way, even when they include the band themselves. The cover for the album ‘#3’ includes all three band members but the way that they are presented on the album is in the shape of a head, by doing something like this makes the album more eye catching to the audience making them want to pick it up; it also makes it more personal to the audience as it includes images of the band themselves. Whereas the cover for ‘No Sound Without Silence’ has a graphic design on it but is as equally eye catching as the cover for ‘#3’. For our album cover I think we will try and interpret the artistic elements that they feature in their albums but will also try and interpret the band member within those artistic features. I also think that we will make the album name slightly bigger than what The Script do as on theirs the focus is more on the image than the name, whereas on ours I think that we will increase the size of the text.

Band name

For the main image on the front cover of the album, we are going to try and follow the convention of what The Script do on the majority of their album covers, we might make it artistic with using the band members themselves as we wont have access to the software to create a graphic image like some of theirs. We also might just do a simple image of our band on the cover with the name of the band alongside of the title not taking away any focus from the band themselves just of them.

For the name of the band the font that we will use wont be too eye-catching and making it too difficult for the audience to understand, but at the same time memorable to the audience. We will also be changing the name of our band to add more uniqueness to the our band.

On the back of the album we are going to have all the new songs that we have come up with to go with the new name of the band. The background of the back will just be plain with no added design just to keep all the focus on the new material that they have created.

Down the spine of the album we will have just the name of the band and the name of their new album. The background of the spine will be the same colour as the back of the CD. The font and text size of the bands name will be bigger than the name of the album just to make sure the audience know of the bands name.

Digipak idea

Front: On this panel of the digipak we will have an image of the band, different to what will be on the front of the cd cover. The image will follow conventions like the artistic elements similar to what the main image will be on the front cover.

Back: on the back the digipak we will have all the names of the songs on the album as well as who is featured on each track. We will also include which band members wrote the song and who else had an input.

On this panel we will have individual introductions to each band member giving the audience the chance to get to know each of the band members as an individual not as just a guitarist for example. This will help the audience build a personal bond with the band.

On this panel we will include what the band have achieved so far in their career, giving the audience some background knowledge into the band helping them get to know them better.

On this panel we will have a selection of images of the band including individual head shots and images of the band members as well as fun shots showing of their personality as a band.

On the front and back of the digipak the image will be of the band but trying to use the conventions of The Script by trying to put some artistic elements into the images as well as including the band. For the rest of the panels we will have just a plain background, probably light grey with an uprising gradient so none of the attention is taken away from the information being displayed for the audience.

Digipak On the cover of the digipak there is an image of the band The Script, the lead singer Danny is at the front of the image and is the main focus of the cover; the rest of the band is placed behind him. The image is set of a location setting making the image seem more natural. Also with including the band on the cover of the digipak can attract the audience more and more personal, it also gives the audience more chance to recognize the band instead of just having some art work and not knowing who they are.

On the cover of the booklet inside the digipak and on the back of the case, there are two images of hands both in different positions, but both portray a strong message of being together and the idea of coming together. The writing on the back of the cover the writing of the song order is very small and doesn’t really catch the eye the attention is more on the image of the hand, for our digipak I think we will use a bigger text and stretch it out longer to take up more room and use a plainer background than what is on this one.

The CD design has an image on it making it very attractive to the eye instead of just having a plain CD, however the image doesn’t really have any connection to the rest of the theme of the digipak; it is a very nice design and is very eye-catching.
