Production: Initial Spine Digipak Mock Ups

These are some mock ups which I could use for the spine of the album digipak. I have experimented with Photoshop to come up with these ideas.

Production: Final Draft for Front Cover of Digipak

This is the final draft of the front cover I will be using for my digipak. I have took into consideration how the legitimate album cover looks, as it follows no conventions of rap digipaks, I have decided to experiment on Photoshop and have come up with a digipak front cover which I think suits the album. I have created this Logo on Photoshop, I have done this due to the like between Kanye West's nickname 'Yeezus' and 'Jesus'. I have merged the 'Y' from 'Yeezus' which represents Kanye, with the cross which Jesus was put upon to create this new symbol. I have also added the conventional 'Parental Advisory' logo to warn parents that there are explicit lyrics in the songs on the album.

These are some more mock ups for the front cover of my digipak, I have used Photoshop to experiment with different ideas.

Production: Initial Front Cover Mock Ups

Digipak Mock Ups

These are just some of the mock ups which I may use for my digipak. I will look further into the production of album artwork to see if I can make any digipak front covers which would suit the album more.

Planning: Mise-en-Scene

For the music video, the actor will need to be a grey jumper with any coloured shirt underneath, He would need no props as I plan to use none in the music video. The actor will show no emotion on his face as he is sending a political message and the lyrics are serious. The setting for the music video will be outiside at night with a light shining on the artist so that we can see him and the black and white effect which I will be using will work. He will also have a chain around his neck which can be compared to typical rap conventions with the rapper wearing gold chains.

Planning: Equipment List

To produce my music video I will be using:

1. Video Camera. I will use the video camera so that I could shoot the footage needed for the music video.

2. Tripod. I will use the tripod so that the video camera will stay still for the duration of the footage shooting.

3. Mobile Phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) I will use my phone for lighting purposes so that I would be able to get a spotlight on the actor.

4. Lighting. I will use lighting so that I can get a spotlight on the actor who is going to be lip syncing.

5. Computer. I will use a computer with the right software so that I will be able to edit my music video and put it together.

Planning: Crew/Prop/Location List

Crew List

Camera men: James Stephenson, Jacob Harper

Actors/Artists: Callum Hill, James Stephenson

Prop List

No props needed. I do not need any props as in the music video I am going to just have simple shots of the head and upper torso of the actor as I am taking inspiration from the official 'New Slaves' Video. Also, I am going to have different shots and movements to follow a person walking down a long path.

                                                                           Location

For the Location I have chosen to shoot my music video in a darkened room with a spotlight on the actor. I have taken inspiration from the official video for 'New Slaves' where Kanye West has a spot light on him with a plain background. I have also chose to use a long path and have a person walking down to represent a new slave.
