Planning for the Shoot

In the run up to the Shoot day (Tomorrow), all final preparations have had to be made, and plans put to action...

This has included, contacting all of the cast members about times, costume and organising choreography practice, for the dancers, as well as ensuing that the singer could lip sync to the playback (i.e. new the lyrics).

Other practical elements include prepping the set, projections and lighting, have had to be discussed with the set designers and supervisors.

Matin Garrix, Example Website


The design for Artist Martin Garrix's web sight is very simplistic and easy to digest for the audience, it contains a simple colour scheme, and is very easy to navigate.




What the Home page has...



Tour Page...

Once again, an easy to navigate page, no unnecessary content, and nothing to extravagant, also a contrast change in colour scheme, from white to black... 






MUSIC...

A sample page for his music, one click play, and distinct links to social media. Contrast colour scheme still apparent...




Lifestyle (About)

Up to date information and pictures, keeping up with current affairs with the Paris peace logo, in reference to the recent Paris Terrorist Attacks...






 Contact page



An easy to use contact page, with relevant names and all the relevant information. One thing that is apparent about all the links is the lack of a silly context paragraph explaining what the page is about...

The pages are very self explanatory, so they don't require one, which is good.




Multiply (The New Album)

Up to date link to information about the new album, this will change with every new release, a clever use of marketing...

Examples of Digipack Art

Led Zeppelin's albums always have the iconic led Zeppelin
on their album covers, a reoccurring theme is always good for
maintaining a brand image. 
The Theme Throughout the Digi pack is subtle but constant. Its
content involves more than just discs and a song list, but also a booklet
which could contain any information about the band, or the creation of
the album. If this concept was used for another band, this content outline could
be used in any way the artist or institution wanted, wether it be tour/band info, right to
a booklet on additional content...

Other bands such as Imagine Dragons may rely on the art of the
genere, rather tan specific imagery, as their theme of art for Digi-Packs and
album covers, is Si-Fi or obscure imagery...

Pink Floid's album cover, like most others doesn't have a recurring theme.
But relies on Iconic imagery and the band name to help market their products.




Digi-Packs




What is a Digi-Pack?


A Digi-pack is a type of packaging for CDs or DVDs, typically made from cardboard with an internal plastic holder for one or more discs.

Digi-packs typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside.  














It is important for us that our digi - pack does not relay to heavily on material from the music video. We have to a act on other synthesised material that would be included, if we had a stronger artist profile to work with. 


A digi pack will included...

1. The Album Title 
2. The Artist Name 
3. Song List
4. Record Label
5. Links to Social Media
6. Links to video sharing
7. #'s

Art for the digi pack vary from genere to genere, artist to artist...

Some albums maintain a theme throughout their campaign, right up to the music videos, but in our case, with only one music video, it will be worth synthesising other material to give the illusion of a complete album with lots to offer.

(this will also be the case when making a web-sight)
