For our digipack we wanted to have original 'indie' ideas to clearly signify the genre and the bands characteristics. We decided that it was important to have a track-list and a thank you page as well as the typical band shots found on the digipack, as we felt this would make it more realistic. We also decided that at the back there shot be a shot of the band but with their backs to the camera, so that they aren't using direct mode of address, as we felt this was associated more with pop music. However we thought in order to make it less cliche and typical, we would have the main singer facing the wrong way (towards the camera) just to break the typical conventions. This then lead on to the idea that we could have the same image but in reverse (the band members facing towards the camera but the lead singer with his back to the camera) on the inside of the digipack. Then when you open up the digipack in full you have a 360 degree shot of the band.
We decided that instead of the tracklist being typical and just printed on the digipack, we thought we could make it look as though the track list had been graffitied onto the pavement in front of the band. The thank you's will be sprawled over the CD area of the digipack so that it could only be completed with the CD in place. There will also be the pen photographed on top as though they have only just written it. The final to parts of the digipack will be photos of the band. One is of the lead singer only, underneath a street light with low key lighting, dark mise-en-scene and his trademark hat. The last part is going to be one of the band members holding up a newspaper, however the article sections of the newspaper will actually be photos of the band, in different locations, angles, shots and costumes.
