Album Cover Development

After researching indie- pop album covers we went out and took photos to create our cover. Here are a couple of front cover ideas

- This album cover being modern and unique we feel doesn’t show our full potential of what we could do with a front cover. So, therefore we have decided to still include this but inside, this particular photo will appear behind the actual CD and will be visible once the CD is removed.

- This is similar to the other previous one however still lacks something, we still want to include vinyl records but not as the only thing visible on the cover. We might include the postcards which can be seen in the video and the guitar which can be seen on our magazine advert.


Below are some font ideas that we could include on our album cover or within the digipak. Stacking the band name like the one below or scattering them to look like stickers could be a page in the album along with the single vinyl picture.

Chosen Idea

After careful consideration we have decided as a group that we can include elements from all three ideas. We have drawn up a storyboard that includes live performance including close ups of the instruments and band members, narrative including short sections that help tell the meaning of the song and artistic shots, including the images of the body with the lyrics of the song written on and the postcards held up by anonymous people that will say things about them. This all together will hopeful prove to be a good video and will reflect the indie-pop genre.

Underdog Management

Two people from Underdog Management. Gemma Reilly and Faye Hunter, came in on two occasions to talk about the music world and their part in the business. They came to our group to talk about our ideas and intentions for the music video. They gave us ideas and inspiration including the idea of filming all three sections at the same time in the same place. They will also be coming in on the 19th November with a stylist to help us with our difficult task of creating the illusion of a tattoo on someone’s body, they have also said they will try and look for a model that is willing for this to be done on them. They are also bringing with them a signed artist that can talk to us about creating a music video. Their help has aided us greatly and has given us hope that what we want to do can be done.

Lyrics analysis

Verse 1

Don’t be ashamed of your body, after all its not ashamed of you

You should have more respect for yourself. Think of the poisitve not the negative

I’m not ashamed of my body, having said that I think its ashamed of me

He's not ashamed but he has done things to his body which he shouldn't of

Verse 2

She’s something, she’s so smooth

He thinks she's special and he likes her

And now she’s in front of me melting

Shes so beautiful shes "melting" infront of him like food in his mouth (metaphor)

Don’t be ashamed of your body, after all its not ashamed of you

Dont be ashamed of what you've done

Chorus

So cool, so cool

He's taking the mic

I bet your friends all think that they are

everyone is cool in their own way. so dont give into pier pressure

So cool, so coolSo cool, so cool

I bet your friends all think that they are

So cool, so cool

Verse 3

She’s something she’s so smooth

And now she’s in front of me naked

She has admitted her feelings for him to him

Verse 1

Chorus

Verse 4

Show me that you’re not afraid

Dont be self conscience

I want to feel your lipstick all over my dirty little face

Show me that you’re not afraid

I want to feel your lipstick all over my dirty little face

he wants to get closer to her

Verse 1

Market Research - Questionnaire

After completing our market research we found that the majority of our audience watch music videos. Four people didn’t which meant a number of totals could only be out of sixteen as they couldn’t be answered by the people you didn’t watch music videos. The majority of people asked were aged between 14 and 23 which gave us a good range of ages. Even though we had a good range of ages and gender we found that where people were watching videos and the genre of music they were listening to were very similar. The internet with TV close second were the markets choice for viewing videos, the time spent watching them though isn’t very high, from our questionnaire we concluded the majority of people watched music videos for a maximum of fifteen minutes a week. The internet sight “Youtube” and the channels “TMF” and “4Music” were top for the favourite ones. These channels give their audience more indie, pop, and soft rock music. Finding this out has allowed us to pick a suitable song that can reach and please a greater number of people. The way that the market get hold of material is changing from CD’s to digital downloads from sites such as “Itunes” and “Jamster”, this can been seen in our research, also the way people find out about new releases or material by artists is also changing from radio and magazine to the internet. The amount spent of music on average per person isn’t very high; this could be because of illegal downloading of music which is completely free. Finally the last thing we found from our research was what people thought they should expect to see in a music video, the band, narrative and live performance was rated top. We will use all this information during the process of devising our music video and the making of our digipak album.
