Digipak- 1st Edition


This is the front and back cover of the digipak.

                                           This is the inside cover of the digipak.


These were the first edition of the digipak whgich our group made, however after looking at them after making our music video, we found that these didn't look as professional as they could. We also thought that we used too much black and not enough colour, therefore they don't entirely fit with the genre.

My initial Ideas for a digipak


This is my initial ideas  for the outside of a digipak. I have used bright colours because they need to be vibrant for the pop-electro genre. I have included spaces for different photos, which are both individual photographs, and photographs in a group. I have included a song list on the back, and a barcode.

Prop List

The props we will use are the following:-

plain white t shirts and we plan to draw on them in bright colours.
big jewellery.
headphones.
graffiti/spray paints.
Big Sunglasses
We will need them from Monday the 31st october til Monday 14th November.
these similar items have been used in previous Luciana videos.


 I think our props list ties in with the media theory of Richard Dyer (1997) of how we represent ourselves through objects. The use of props which we have included show the self-image which we present to the audience, is unique and in fashion, we have decided to be bold and strong, which is exactly what the Pop-Electro genre is about.

Location Report

The locations which we chosen to film in are the following:-


  •  Using the green screen- this will allow us to have background images which are unique and effective,such as flashing backgrounds, images with paint splats, famous places such as 'New York' at night. This makes our video more interesting;
  • By a brick wall - This is because although a brick wall is fairly normal/boring, we can use special effects which will be enhanced due to the pattern on the wall. An effect will be like colours running across the wall.
  • By Graffiti- this fits in with the genre which we are working in, we also think that graphitti is often linked to the teenage years, and therefore our target audience. The graphitti which we will use will emphasise the meaning of the song, or create the words such as 'I like that' which is a key part of the song. 
  • In the woods- this is a different and unique location for this music video, and it allows us to be creative and have various shots in a different location.
  • Down a high street- to create the effect of a busy town with lots of people surrounding, this will allow us to create an 'crazy' atmosphere where no body knows what is going on. 
  • On a field- This is so that we can lie on the field and use shots such as 'birds eye view',

As a group, we have decided to film in various locations, as we think this will be effective for our music video because it won’t looks repetitive and boring. We have chosen to film during the daylight because this means the backing lighting will be bright and will compliment both our costumes and editing effects. Although in certain times, we will use the green sceen to use famous places as backgrounds to present the teenage nightlife.
