IMAGE INSPIRATION FOR MY DIGIPAK FRONT COVER AND ALBUM ADVERT

By Hannah Alley

Image 1

I really love this image I found on Google because it is just of a girl leaning against a tree, staring wonderingly into the distance, and yet so much mysteriousness is conveyed within it. I kind of want to make the audience wonder what the music video will be like, so I think an image like this would be perfect to use inspiration off for my album advert.

Images 2 & 3

The girls in the pictures seen to the right look either lost or looking adoringly at the nature around them. This is the exact look I would like to reinforce into my Digipak cover and album advert, as the story of my music video is that my female protagonist whilst performing is lost in the woods, trying to find her way out as she finds props along the way that bring instant flashbacks to her mind.

These two girls look feminine, delicate and vulnerable, reminding me that this is what I would like my actress to look like in my images, as I want the audience to feel sympathy for her.

Images 4 & 5 These pictures are more “action shots”, as

the one in black and white is of a female running, and the second of a girl doing a pose in the sunlight of the woods.

I would use images more like these in my Digipak as the audience by now would have essentially already watched my music video, and would be buying the album, so the action shots would not be “giving away” anything happening in the music video.

The first image is very inspiring for me as it exemplifies a lot that happens in my music video – the protagonist running aimlessly, trying to find her way out of the woods. So this highlights the idea that perhaps a shot of my actress running, would be an effective idea for my Digipak.

Furthermore, I like the second image too because the girl in it is doing a strange pose, but this makes the shot look eerie and unique, which I appreciate. My music video is very strange and different overall, so perhaps it would be good to convey this in one image and make my actress do a pose like the one shown here, too.
