Ancillary task- Digipak

For my first ancillary task i have chosen to design a digipak for the bands CD which can include a copy of the video.









On the front cover I will have a large image of the bands logo on a white background. I feel that the black image on the white background will make the cover eye catching and help it stand out on the shelf of a shop. On the inner sleeve (behind the booklet)I will have a picture of the band. One of my other ancillary tasks is to design a poster and I could link the two tasks together by including the poster in the digipak. The back cover will have the track listing and the album credits.

Queens Of The Stone Age - Little Sister



I like the use of lighting in this video. From this I got the idea to use lighting to reflect the mood of the song. I intend to use soft blue lighting for the calm parts of the song and harsh red lighting for the aggressive heavy parts.
I also like the way that the video focusses on the instruments being played, as opposed to the image of the band, one of the main features I intend to implement into my video.
The outfits the band are wearing are dark colours which reflects the tone of the music. This is another aspect I will have to think about.
The minimalist set and lack of any discernible Mise-en-scene reflects the simple stripped back feel of the song. My song is slightly more frantic and the location I have chosen is reflective of this style, being cluttered and cramped. I feel this will add to the feeling of the song by emphasising its chaotic nature. This will be further emphasised by quick cuts and fast paced editing during the faster heavier sections.
