These images have been edited in i-photo by enhancing and boosting the image and colour, the titles were then included in photoshop. In the image above i think the white title of 'The Kooks' stands out effectively against the dark tones of the image. These dark tones also reflect on the sadness and depression of the emotions of the song and that on Astons face.
I really do like this overlay. I think the tones are perfect, and the way shadows forms of the other image behind the front image creates shape and dimension. It also shows the significant of Aston being lead singer, as-well as the key member to the narrative, however it doesn't forget the other members.
I think this image would make a really good front image for the digi pack. This is because it represents the song as a whole. The seaside with the waves, the forlorn stand of Aston looking out to sea expresses the mood of the song which is also expressed with the strong black and white tones. As a whole the image captures my attention, and reflects on the mood. It's also my favourite clip of the music video as it goes great with the music at that time. The guitar which Aston is holding also represents their identity of the band. The simplicity of text on the front album image also works perfectly and represents my research of the band.
This image is also a strong contender in making it into my digi pack. I like this shot because its artistic, and represents movement in blurred forms. This goes nicely with the line 'do you want to go to the seaside?' I also like the reflection in the puddles which gives the image two dimensions. As a result i think this image would be rather suitable on the back of the digi pack case. As this also needs a dramatic image. i also find the image is quite indie, particularly as it expresses the theme of black and white and Indy clothes, of converse and skinny jeans. As it's quite a artistic shot this also represents the Indie feel. I also think this shot will go great with the titles of the song.
I think if this image was anything, it would be an advertisement poster. This is because the poster establishes the performance, the lead singer, the Indie characteristics of clothing, performance, and black and white. However i also like the way it's rather establishing and definitely sets the scene of Blackpool with the tower and wheel. As a result many people will recognise these icons which will build even more interest towards the poster and the album simply because their familiar with the setting. I also like the family on the beach, who show the fun side of the seaside and being with loved ones, to the contrast and narrative of Astons loneliness, and isolation.
I love the tones and emotion in this image, and i feel that this has to make it's way into the digi pack. I also think that the white title of 'The Kooks' is very affective against the very dark tones of black in this image. I do think that this image could actually be used as a front cover, but of the strong emotion of it. However i feel that the image with Aston standing out to sea is a lot more artistic and tells a narrative in just one image, that it just has to be that one.
What I like about this image is the texture. This is produced by the edit, however its also their because the poor quality of the pixels. Non the less, it's effective, and creates an almost noise effect on the image. It also gives the waves texture and movement, but also has the feel and contrast of looking quite flat at the same time. The tones of the seagull makes it stand out really well against what would be a rather dull background. As a result the seagull is what produces strength in the photo but it's not overpowering. With a larger amount of background in the photo is also makes room for more interesting things without ruining the image. As a result i will use this image where the actual CD will go. It will make an interesting shot on the page, and also reverts back to this source of simpleness, but also being effective. Where the seagull is, this will also be printed onto the CD, so that this is also decorated. And as the album is called 'Seaside' nothing could be better to represent this than a seagull in the seaside.
I don't think this image quite has the potential to be an eye-catching establishing shot for a front cover. Where i could use this image is where the CD will actually be positioned, but i think that the seagull is a lot more effective.
I don't like this overlay image as much as the donkey one, however i think it's the sepia feel that doesn't make this image as affective for me.
This image would also make a good front cover, however i personally think it would make a better advertisement for the album, particularly because its a strong shot which grabs your attention. I like the tones of black and white, the strong expression within the facial features reflect the mood of the song and the lead singer. I particularly love the way Astons jumper stands out in the photo with every line in strong focus which is even more effective because of the various tones of black and white. The pier and ferrace wheel set the scene of the seaside, and also builds another dimension of interest to the photo. It's a strong shot which makes sure the focal point is poised on Aston and the wheel because of the positioning in composition. This is great because it sells the band, the emotions, and the scene all in one, making it the perfect advertisement.
What I like about this shot is the fact that it shots the whole band. This is important for many band digipack, that they all make an appearance, however because i didn't take my camera, and i'm just relying on print screen shots from my music video, i don't think this image is strong enough which is a shame. If i had my camera i could of had a go at arranging them, like they are arranged by professionals, at different levels and doing different things but still having the strength of a unit. I suppose this does appear in the image above, as all poses and facial expressions are different, however it doesn't have the strength and emotion as the one of just Chesh and Aston which is the sixth image down.
In this photo i experimented with including the title of the album into the front image. It looks okay, but it doesn't quite strike me as much as the others, where the only writing on the image is the bands name. As a result i think i will stick to this simplicity from my research of 'The Kooks' because it looks just as dramatic on their album.
Because theres so many images that i like, i will select four of my favourite ones, and make a 4 way collage of the images showing different aspects of the music video, weather it focuses on Aston, the setting and the rest of the bands. I feel this will look effective, and also means images won't go to waste, it also makes the part of the Digi Pack where the Booklet will go. My intentions would be to also make this four way image shot the front image of the booklet as-well. All images will have to be strong enough so the viewers look at all of them eagerly. Images that i think i will choose is the one above, the overview of the donkeys, Aston and band members in the background, Aston and Chesh on the bench, because i love the tones and emotion i their faces, and the one of Aston with the pier in the background which will also go on to become an advertisement for the release of the CD.
