CD Packaging Layout
CD Packaging Layout
The CD packing will be laid out like a standard CD. It will have a front and a back and will open and close and surround the CD. It will be similar to a book because of the way it opens. The whole front of the CD will be a picture of the artist and in the bottom left hand corner is the artist's name. The whole back of the CD is another picture but not of the artist and will have a list of songs on.
This is what the front of the CD packaging will look like. It is just a picture of the artist and the artist's name in the bottom left hand corner.

This is what the back of the CD packaging will look like. It is another picture but not of the artist, it is a picture of a lake and has a list of the songs in the bottom left hand corner.
Here is an example of how the CD packaging will look and how it will open and close etc.
This is an example of what the inside of the CD packaging will look like. This layout is just the same layout as a standard CD.

Below are three different CD packaging examples. They may be different but in many ways they are similar. They are all square and fit around the actual CD itself. They all seem the size size as well because they fit round a standard sized CD. They all seem to be made out of paper/card. There seems to be a design on every front of the CD packaging examples except the last one. The first one has music notes and the artists name on it with a coloured square around it, the second one has a group of trees that appear to be in a forest in monochrome colours and the third has the lettering cut out and the whole cover is just red. The third one is very plain and simple compared to the others. However having the lettering cut out is really effective and you straight away notice it.
The third one differs quite a lot to the first two. It is just one plain colour and has no text, pictures, patterns etc on. It just has the lettering cut out of the card/paper. The CD itself seems to match the actual packaging. The first CD is purple and it matches the coloured square that surrounds the artists name.The second CD is white and has a red pattern in the middle with a black circle surrounding it. This matches the CD packaging because of the colour scheme. The monochrome colours seems to be the thing that is the same throughout. The third CD is red and matches the whole front cover of the CD packaging. Grey is also a colour in this CD packaging and on the CD. The grey goes quite well with the red and as it is a simple colour, it makes the red stand out.
The first CD packaging folds around the CD. The second CD packaging surrounds the CD but the CD just slips into it. The third CD packaging is quite similar to the second one except it slips in a different way also it has a cover that slips over the CD.
You can't see the back of the CD packaging but I think the first one has the same pattern on the back as it does on the front and I think second one is showing us the front and the back as you can see the same CD but two different pictures. I think the back of the third one will just be red. All of the backs will have a list of the songs that are on the artists album.

Magazine Advert Layout
Magazine Advert Layout
The artist's name will be at the top of the page and will be big and bold. The picture of the artist will take up most of the page therefore it will be really big. The album name will be similar to the artist's name except it will be a little bit smaller. The information about the album will be the release date.

Below are three different artists' music magazine adverts. All three artists are female. They are also quite similar to our artist, Louise Champion. They are similar in a few different ways. They are all female solo artists and their music fits into a similar genre.
On each magazine advert, the artists name is big and bold. Their name is big and bold so you straight away notice who the artist is. The artists' new album name is also included on the magazine advert and so is some of their new songs. The songs that are included are the artists' most recent songs that most people would have heard. These songs are included on the magazine advert because if people like them songs, it'll make them want to buy the album to get them songs. However the main text that is noticeable is the artist name and their album name. Also on each magazine advert, a large picture of the artist is included. The picture in fact, takes up most of the advert.
On each of these magazine adverts, only three or four colours are used. The colour scheme is kept plain and simple. On each ot these magazine adverts the text that seems to stand out and be different is the artists name, for example 'JessieJ', 'Rihanna' and 'Lana Del Ray' all stand out and are all different colours to the rest of the text on the advert.
Each magazine advert seems to be about the same size as they would appear in a standard magazine. They would all be a full page advert.

Shooting Schedule
Shooting Schedule
The majority of our music video will be filmed in January and February as the weather is cold this time of year and will go well with the ideas we have for the video. Some of the parts of the music video we were planning on shooting in a snowy environment to give a Christmas effect. The beginning of the year is normally the time where snow is likely to fall. Our back up plan for this will be to get fake snow or visit a place where snow is falling.
The parts of the video that need to be shot inside can be shot anytime as the weather will not effect us in any way. The parts that are shot in complete darkness with only the fairy lights should be shot in the evening when light through the windows is not visible. It needs to be in complete darkness with only the fairy lights as the only type of light seen. This part should be shot as near as possible to the shooting of the filming outside due to the idea of consistency, if the main actress changes her appearance in any way during the filming of the music video, it wont be as consistent.
January/February: Film the shots that will take place outside.

February: Shots inside. Shots that will take place in the house in the darkness, the timing will be negotiable as it doesn't necessarily have to be at a specific time.
