Digipak planning
Alongside the actual video and evaluation, the AS media course requires the creation of a digipak. Following the theme of Indie Rock, the digipak should follow the codes and conventions of the genre so that it matches themes featured within our video.
Elements of mise-en-scene that feature within the music video will follow through onto the digipak so that the two products match. For example, the theme of roses and fire will feature on both products so that the narrative of a breakup continues through. This creates a recognisable image for the band and for the song, similar to recognisable images other bands create e.g. The cartoon drawings on Gorillaz.
The first slide will likely contain the lead singer since he is the most relevant character within the video. Furthermore, the schemes of different colours for different band members will continue. As the slides continue, the three inside slides will show a medium shot of each band member. The slide that will appear at the back of the digipak will contain a full band shot, similar to those that features within the music video:
The colours will likely match the colour that features from their close up mouth shots:
Potentially, the digipak will be hand drawn, however it may be decided that photographs should be used instead so that they fit more with the theme of the video. Either way, the themes of fire and roses alongside the mise-en-scene of colours will be used to create repetition and continue the narrative, created in the music video, onto the digipak.
The use of font is essential in order to follow and suit the genre within the video. Block text will be used because it links to the text used at the introduction of the music video with the bands name and the song name. This font will follow through onto the digipak so as to once again create a link between the two products. Again, this will help create a pattern and contribute to the idea of a band identity.
The back panel will of course feature a list of the Bands other songs. All digipaks have this feature on. Since only one song was actually used, it's likely that the names of the other songs will just be created. However, the names may come from the names of the other songs from the same band that created 'Rise' (Saint Phnx)
