Digipak Style ideas
This first digipak design is a simple two-panel design. There is no insert but there are lyrics printed on an image in the inside cover. Although, what really drew me to this design is the cut out style on the CD holder. It's something different and adds good effect to the design.
This six-panel design show consistency by keeping the same colour pattern and design across all six panels. This consistency makes the cover look professional and finished to a good standard. The disk also features a design relating the artist/album cover and adds an extra effect to the digipak. the printed lyrics on one panel and some notes from the band's lead singer on another give an added bonus to the album. It may also entice fans to buy it because they are interested to read what they have to say about the album.
The piano image consistent across all 3 panels provide a good effect to this digipak. What also appeals tome is the sleeve insert on the first panel. This provides the opportunity to add something extra to the album, maybe a poster or some notes from the band themselves.

Music Video Inspiration
Peace, Lost on me- This is good inspiration for us because we want to change the lighting throughout our music video but also have the video as mainly videoing the band. We are mainly looking at the start of this music video as the inspiration as we will be filming in a space where we can have the whole band set out.
Train, drops of Jupiter- we would like to use this video as inspiration because the band is all in one position and are very relaxed they are performing the song as they would at a gig. Also the camera uses lots of different shot types with different angles of shots, they use low shots where the camera is looking up at the band and there is high shots which look down at the band playing. We could use this in our music video.
John Mayer, Who says- This video may be good inspiration because of the lighting used throughout this video. There is a lot of different lighting and visuals used throughout, including black and white and colored but also some of the colour is taken out of the video to make it look more old style and more indie. Spotlights are also used and reflecting light off water. This gives a nice effect, we are definately going to change to black and White throughout the video.
The Script, the man who cant be moved- This has given us inspiration for our music video because of the band playing together in the car park. interesting lighting during those shots. Having the lighting like this gives a heavenly feel to the video in these parts kind of like its his imagination of them playing together.
One Republic, Counting Stars- This has given us inspiration for our music video because of the energy that the band members produce in the video. We believe that the people who do it in our video should be this energetic because it shows the song and the band in a good light. We will be mainly getting inspiration from the parts where the band are if the dusky and dirty room together. We believe using these ideas will benefit our video. Obviously we will not be using the crocodile in our video.
The 1975, Girls- This video has given us inspiration because of the starting. The video is Black and white but then it switches too in colour and this is what we want to implement into our video. Also when the video is switching from one guitar to the other while they are playing is something that we want to put into our video because it shows the instruments that are being played in the band.

Audience Profile
As we have decided on re creating and Indie song we have a good idea of who we are targeting to watch our video. At this moment, we have decided on covering 'Undercover Martyn' by Two Door Cinema Club.
After research via "UK Tribes", we have found the the type of people who would regularly listen to bands such as Two Door Cinema Club and others are known as 'Indie scenesters'. These (usually young) people are always on the look out for that fresh new band to brag about hearing first when they suddenly hit the mainstream market.
In order to conform to the interests of these people we will have to make careful decisions on the look of those featured in our video. For example, clothing is a big deal when attracting the right mise en scene for a music video. We will try and stay away from branded clothes and take inspiration from the original video on how to dress and style our band members. In the original, all three are wearing smart shoes with slim fitted trousers. This casual look detracts away from the usual 'jeans and trainers' and offers a smarter, more mature essence to the band. One of them has chosen to roll up the sleeves of his plain white shirt and the lead singer is dressed in a shirt and jacket. I believe the style that has been delivered is smart/casual which links to the video as it is not one to be taken seriously.
The age of our audience I believe will be between 17-21. Those who are at college or just finishing university as they are most likely to have a good passion and interest in both music and fashion; two things of great importance to Indie Scenesters.
We will try and replicate the styling shown on the band members in the original music video in our own version. This should then create the most appropriate mise en scene for each of the characters and give us the best chance of attracting the right audience to our video.

Song Decision
We have decided to cover 'Undercover Martyn' by Two Door Cinema Club. This song is liked by everybody in the group and we feel that we will be able to produce a good music video for the song.
The genre of the song is indie rock. After studying the video and discussing at length, we feel that the simple but effective mise en scene will mean we can use the good ideas from the original but allow us to put our own twist on the finished video.
