Character Representation

In terms of Propp's Character Theory, my main (and only shown) character will be the "hero" type. The plot will revolve around him and there will be an emotional connection between the audience and this character. In the story the hero will be seeking a resolution to his situation that involves the implied "princess".

Shooting Schedule

On Tuesday 25th October I will start to film the shots at the beginning that need to be done in my house in the morning (shots 1-24). Then mid-morning (approximately 10.30-11.30), go out to Mangotsfield Common in order to get the outdoor shots (25 - 34). Early evening: return home to shoot thee remaining shots (35-42). I think that shooting roughly at the same time it is supposed to be will add to the realism and believability of the video. Continuity can also be insured by filming the shots in order.

Annotation of Lyrics

These are some annotations of the song lyrics that gave me some inspirations as to what to include in my storyboard and video.

Digipak Back Design

For the base, where the CD will go on top off, I used the same image as the front cover, only without the band name. I think this will work well because it is simple yet effective. For the back cover, I have chosen to not have any images (other than The Coral's record label Deltasonic's logo) but only colour, using yellow and blue which are quite appealing, with the yellow being non-gender specific. In terms of text I thought it would be best to include some reviews - which I took from Amazon.com to help self-promote the product.

Digipak Booklet Inside Design

For the inside to my booklet, I edited one of my photographs in order to make it look different to the others and then included the lyrics as common in conventions of digipaks.

Digipak Booklet Outside Design

The outside design for my booklet will have the front of the booklet being the front of the digipak as a whole. Here it is shown on the left - this is the net of the booklet with the fold in the middle. This image is a photograph I have taken of fortunate holes in the wall - which to me looked like faces (they appear to be where the speaker systems used to be fixed to the wall). I felt that they were quirky enough to be included on the digipak. The font that I have used for the band's name is actually called coral font and I found it on the internet.

Digipak Research - The Hoosiers "The Trick To Life"

This is The Hoosiers debut album "The Trick To Life". They released the same album in a variety of colours (here pictured in yellow and red) which allowed the audience to choose which colour they would prefer. The artwork remained the same for the covers despite the different colour. The art appears to be quite random, which helps to link to the style of the band and reflect the uniqueness of the music.

In the booklet, for each of the songs, they have the lyrics. On each page they have similarly-styled artwork to the cover, which is linked to the themes/narrative of the song - in a very creatively interesting way. For every double page, the colours of each of the artwork is contrasting and outstanding.

For the back of the pack, it uses the same artwork as on the front, only here the detail is in white. In the middle of the artwork the song names are listed in the same font that is used as a house style font throughout the digipak.

Digipak Research - The Fray "The Fray"

This is The Fray's second album, which is self-titled. Their digipak includes a front and back cover, and also they have a booklet inside of the cover. Within the booklet, there are the lyrics to each of the songs. For each of the songs there is a different image in the background, however the same house style is adopted - the same font and size and graphological positioning of everything. For the front of the booklet (the cover of the CD pack itself), they have used lighting in the shot effectively. This was something that had been used well in their first album (How To Save A Life) and have adapted it from the lightbulb they used then, to these lighting bars which are used to spell out the band name. There is a two in the frame, above the title, which could show that the location of this hot is a station perhaps, which also links to the movement of the people in the shot - the blurred effect of the people who were moving. This shows them to be out of focus and showing them going too passed the lights but not really taking notice. But the number two is also representative that this is the second album.

On the back, it uses the back of the wall that is in the background of the front cover. This graphic match works well with the fact that the front cover is the reverse side of the back cover. Dealing with the lights again, all of the song titles are written in the same lettering type as the word "FRAY" was on the front, only a smaller size in order for it all to fit on the page.
