Album Cover Ideas

Album Cover Inspiration

For our cover we decided it should follow the gritty theme’s of the main product, so firstly we decided to have it influenced by album covers of a similar genre (British rock).  We looked at CD covers such as The Enemy album ' Had Enough' and the Oasis’ 'Hindu Times'. 

Along with the other researched album covers,we picked features from each which would help match the persona Nicole plays in our video. The album cover for '(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?' played an interesting part in the development in the design of our front cover. We felt the mise-en-scene of the image was similar to the style we wanted for our case design, as the characters in the image are dominated by their surroundings we thought this should be a main aspect of our cover.

Using '(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?' along with The Fray’s self-titled album will be our main inspiration for the album cover. The lighting within The Fray’s album cover along with the blur helps create a sense of being alone. Along with other features from the album covers above, we feel the CD front cover will be simplistic, effective and similar to album covers of the similar genre.

Filming

For filming we arrived on the various sets with a camera, tripod and suitable clothes that we felt improved the mise-en-scene as they made the story more realistic. Another feature of filming we had to consider was the camera’s poor intake of light, due to this we decided to film in the day, as filming at night would have made the shots grainy.
