Narrative

We aimed to create our music video narrative around the story of Alice in Wonderland. Our  female protagonist (representing Alice) is shown at home, amongst her family and clearly not completely comfortable or feeling included.

This is a snapshot of the scene which we aimed to explicitly show Rosie secluded from her family, people who she should be happy and comfortable with. Rosie wants to find her 'Wonderland' (which is clearly not with her family). In this particular scene we wanted to use elements of Alice In Wonderland, to emphasise the similar narrative. The teacups for example are shown in the 'Mad Hatters' tea party, and so used them as props in this scene.



This is screenshot of our characters 'Wonderland'. The powder paint represents the idea of freedom and show a much happier side to our female protagonist. By using two other characters in this particular scene it is clear our character has managed to find others, and found a 'tribe' in which she feels comfortable and herself (as oppose to her family). 

FINAL MUSIC VIDEO

DIGIPAK FINAL.

ALBUM 

I liked the idea of using a lot of colour for my front cover for my album. As we were already using powder paint in our music video I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate that into the album cover. I felt the colours were much more eye catching, and interesting to an audience. I also wanted to use simple white letters for the title, like these examples as it stands out much more in contrast to the colours, making the album name and band name stand out. 

MAGAZINE ADVERT

Taking inspiration from various other magazine adverts for albums, I wanted to use simple white letters against a black background, creating a more eye catching advert. I also wanted to use a black background as when i added the image of the album into the magazine advert it would stand out even more due to the colourful image.

Dinner Scene

Here are the teacups we used for our dinner scene, (donated by my Grandma). We successfully managed to get all the shots we needed and are now finished with filming.
