our digipack inspiration and ideas

CD Cover Inspirations from bthflatt

together we have come up with ideas for inspiration for our digipack. Ben put a slide together to show what direction we are roughly going in  

letter

#

George wrote a letter to epic records to  notify them about the use of the song.

bens research

Ben has done some research into music institutions i.e. record labels, evaluating which institutions would or wouldn't be interested in signing cosmo to their record label.

National Anthem are  partnered with a few Indie artists, this may suggest that they would be interested in someone like cosmo. The label however seems to sign fairly general Indie music makers, so COSMO's blend of Rock, Folk, Psychedelic and Pop may not be of interest to them. 

Videos that use the same effects as we want.

these videos although they are not the same genre of music as our song, they do however use the same kind of filters as we want. W e want to create a 1960's grainy feel to our video. Lana del ray uses this alot in her videos therefor i went out of my way to research her videos and look into some of the themes behind her videos. Lana del ray is obsessed with the 1940's- 60's era and presents this a lot in her videos with the use of costume and video effects. for this reason i felt she was a particularly good artist to research when it comes to modern artists taking the past and bringing it into the present.

The mystery jets analysis

The album cover to the mystery jets redlands uses the american state of texas. Inside is a picture of them  that looks like they are in texas with a poleroid style filter over the top. This suggests the the music has an old feel to it. The fact that they used texas as their front cover goes well with their name, redlands considering the fact texas is hot, dusty and full of dessert areas. The theme of the album is very american and patriotic. this also suggests that they may come from texas or just america.If not they at least have some strong ties to america. The look of the text and photo looks very indie and slightly 90's.

The music video coinsides with the album cover very well. In this video he seems to be wearing quite cowboy style attire while playing a guitar in the dessert. The song itself is extremely indie yet quite modern. In the video he holds up an american flag with the words "redlands" on it. This links further to the patriotic themes of the album.

Music video plan

we as a group have been looking at different songs mainly old ones and have looked at a variety of  different genres including indie, psycadelic, rock etc. we came up with quite a few ideas such as


This song was georges choice. He took this song from the tim burton movie dark shaddows starring johnny depp where during one scene chloe mortez is dancing to this tune.






gerard ways solo song action cat was chosen by ben everyone enjoyed the up beat atmostphere of the song and the energy it has.
This was my choice. I liked digital daers still here because it had a beautiful tone and atmostphere i felt you could easily make a decent narrative out of this song.
