Digipak Ideas

As I mentioned in my last post, we've begun to brainstorm ideas for our digipak and poster.

These are the ideas we have for the digipak design:

This is a rough design of what we want our finished digipak will look like. The digipak design is very important as it hints at the genre and tone of the album/song, and the design itself helps to target a specific type of audience. 

It is vital that when producing our digipak that we keep within the conventions of the genre as well as try to attract an secondary audience in order to expand sales. 

Treatment

This is the treatment for the coursework, the treatment is a document that expresses the ideas for a music video and how the idea relates to the artist and the song. 

Marcus Foster "I Was Broken"

Marcus Foster, little known before this video, started to get some attention as his song 'Let me Sign' (covered by Robert Pattinson) was featured in Twilight and another song in The Twilight Saga:Eclipse. Both films helped to raise his profile, so when he released his debut single (and album) Kristen Stewart agreed to be in the music video.
This got a lot of attention for the video as websites published articles and the music video got shown on MTV and other music channels.
In the music video itself is in black and white and there is a fixed close up shot of Marcus Foster's face capturing the pure emotion of the song. Kristen Stewart appears throughout the video looking sultry and moody at the camera in jeans, a plain white t-shirt and her long black tousled hair. The music video also includes dissolves of fields and streets.
