Influences - TV Show: Damages

This is the title sequence for a TV show that uses the chorus of my chosen song. The TV show is about crime and law. I like the idea of justice and fighting; hence where I got the idea for my music video. In terms of style I like the colour palette used within the title sequence and the idea of dark shadows - like chiaroscuro lighting, which I would like to use for my music video. I especially like the shot of the protagonist lifting her head from a side and front profile which I intend to use as an intertextual reference in my music video. I like the use of depth of field and focus on the characters, which I also intend to use for my music video. I also like the use of slow motion in certain parts, I think it intensifies parts of the sequence which I would like to use in my music video.

Updated Digipak and Poster

I received feedback from my most recent digipak and poster.

With the poster, it was said that it looked too traditional and aligned and that I should play weigh the placement more, for example, the places where the digipak would be available should be at the top and not the bottom. The date of release should also be more centralised.

In the Digipak I just needed to show that the CD placement and what the CD would look like and generally tidy up so all the images were aligned and look more aesthetically pleasing. I also needed to change the insert idea, as it just seems like a sale rather than an exclusivity for people that have just bought the digipak. Therefore I altered this to tell the customer that they would receive exclusive merchandise with the code.

Poster Draft 2

I really like this poster, I think it's a lot more clearer than my previous one and shows audiences where they can buy the music and the social media websites the band can be followed on. I'm not too sure about the logos of where people are able to buy the music as it is not as clear to read the 'amazon prime' logo. 

3rd Draft of Digipak

For my USP I have decided that I want an inserted page that offers customers a 30% discount to the officialsymptom.com merchandise.

I think my digipak feels stronger as there is a key theme running throughout

I also decided that I want my cd to be a cracked mirror as this would relate to my music video, which is the first song on the digipak and ties in the the crackled/ broken glass font I have used for the title.
