This video was just testing out certain ways of filming, as I want to use pictures for my music video. I found it quite interesting to do and still like the idea of using pictures for the final music video!

DVD Digipak Booklet

I wanted the booklet to seem quite different and not be like a regular booklet, and wanted it to suit the style of the poster, which is why i kept the style of it quite simple so there is a clear link between them.

Sketches of Music Video & Digipak








Images 3 and 4 are the very first ideas i had for my music video. I decided to change these ideas to image 1, as the original idea i had didn't work well, however the second idea didn't really seem to suit the style of the artist and song, so i decided to go with a completely different idea to suit the style, yet still being as creative with it. I have mostly kept the images for the Digipak and booklet the same, as i believe this style suits the artist and song, and i have tried to expand ideas for my music video based on the styling of the artist herself which i will try to show as a set style throughout the digipak, music video and advertisement.

Chosen Artist

For my music video, I chose a song from Jamendo, and chose it to suit the style of the person I am using for the artist , and the kind of style I want the video to be.
My chosen song is Runaways by Elle Lefant, and the song suits the kind of story I want through out the music video. The genre of the song is indie/pop, which will suit the style of the person i am using well and locations i plan to use, and will hopefully make the video look quite effective.
