Digipak - Collecting and Analysing Images

After researching what our group needed to include on our digipak, we have decided to experiment and take pictures for this part of our project. We have also decided to analyse this images, and see whether they are suitable for our digipak.

The above image is of some love heart shaped sweets which I photographed over the summer. I thought we could potentially use this image for our digipak, as the three sweets in the centre of the image would each take up a panel. This would allow us to have a continuous image on our digipak, which would help it look more professional. However, I feel as though this image is slightly irrelevant as the sweets do not feature in our plans for the music video. Also, it would be hard to include them and make them the focal point of the video; if they were, this image would be the ideal choice for the digipak.

I think this image is more relevant than the previous, as we could easily make one of the characters in our music video wear this piece of jewellery. Moreover, it is possible for us to include several shots of this necklace, thus making it significant and memorable. This will show a clear connection between our music video and the digipak, which is something we would hope to achieve. A problem with this image is the empty, uninteresting space to the left of the necklace. As I do not think the image would be effective if placed on one panel, the image would consequently be placed across three panels. This would mean that two of the panel would be uninteresting, which therefore means that a third of our entire digipak is unattractive.

I like this image as it features one of the characters from our music video, as well as providing an interesting and aesthetically pleasing backdrop for our digipak and possibly our advertisement. Moreover, this image looks relevant to the kind of music video we are hoping to create, which means that our digipak and music video will show a connection between one another. To see what the image would look like when cropped to the dimensions of a digipak I measured, I used photoshop to edit the picture. The cropped photograph is below.

I think this image is still effective when cropped to the correct dimensions, which therefore means that we may use it for our digipak.

This is another image we are consider, but feel as though this would only be effective if we include some shots where the lights is blurred in our music video.
