Our CD cover was created based on the idea that it had to have some form
of link to the accompanying music video. This was loosely influenced by
Oasis' Definitely Maybe album which contained images linking
to several of their music videos, mainly seen through the way both the
cover and the videos were edited visually. (Similar colour schemes and
shading for desired emotional response)
We decided to take this more literally and included an image taken
directly from a clip we intend to use in our video that we took while
location scouting in order to draw a clear link between this and our
video when it is finished, much like Oasis did with every video from the
album.
Our video itself was influenced by several different sources and we took
a lot of influence from the idea of the 'Mini Movie' craze that has
become far more popular in recent years. We were however cautions of the
criticisms of this idea with several artists (Most notably Dave Grohl
from the 'Foo Fighters') believing it to be ruining the idea of the
music video. Based on this, we made our story slightly less obvious,
deciding against including any dialogue or in fact a traditional
narrative.
