Draft of our digipak

Since the band’s name is 'Sound of the Sirens' my group and Laura thought that it would be a good idea to link the theme of Sirens with the front cover for our digipak.

 Ronnie draw this picture to create a primary source from an inspiration that we found on the Internet when performing our research on Sirens. By adding different colours and texture to the picture, it gives the audience an idea of good and bad sides to Sirens themselves. But keeping the 'Malevolent Sirens' in black and white give the impression that it isn't as friendly and kind like the one above. Ronnie chose the contrast to emphasize on the duplicity of sirens.

These two pictures were taken when my group was in process with creating our music video. We thought that if we experimented and went well then we could use it later on however if we chosen not to use it then it only shows positive evidence towards our coursework.

We decided to spice it up a little by putting a simple and effective effect on it and this enriches the colours in the shot. By doing placing the black shade in the corners of the picture, it enhances the two main elements in the shot, the band members. We thought that it would be effective to do so because we wanted people to focus on the picture and link it to the music which has been produced.

The picture below is only a slight change from the one above since there isn't a black clouded effect around the edges.

 

This is an idea we had for the back cover for the digipak. This picture was taken when we filmed the narrative in Shillingthorpe Park. The lighting in the shot suggest a happy, bright and perhaps relieved atmosphere which is what we wanted to apply for the audience.

I edited the photo below to make it brighter to show happiness and as it is a path it is like it is saying it is leading you to happiness. I made sure that the colours popped so that it would stand out and be eye catching. 

This picture below I also edited it so that the colours stood out to represent happiness. I put a black fade effect around the edge so when people look at it they focus straight to the center of the photo where we are thinking about putting the title of the album but only the title as when we looked at Gabrielle Aplin's digipak she hid her face on it so that the audience only focused on the music rather than the look of the artist.  

This is the start of our digipak as we started to put it together. As you can only see four panels rather than six which will be our final product.
