Back cover

The back cover represents the ability to grow as a person even though the circumstances might not be the best and that is what the tree on sand represents. It also fits the theme of the ancillary texts due to the fact that it shows nature and is quite simple overall.

Props and costumes

Props

To begin with, our music video will not require many props, however some props that will be required will be:

• Fake drugs (flour)
• 
  
• Training bag
• 
  
• School bag
• 
  
• Phone

The costumes that were used were both casual as well as professional, including:

• 
  
• Shirt
• 
  
• Tie
• 
  
• Suit Blazer
• 
  
• Suit Trousers
• 
  
• Black shoes
• 
  
• Red T-shirt
• 
  
• Blue jeans
• 
  
• Black trainers
• 
  
• Black jacket
• 
  
• Gold chain
• 
  
• Black T-shirt
• 
  
• Black trousers
• 
  
• Work boots

Here are the pictures of the outfits together:

These outfits were used to represent the actions as well as the mood of the main character as well as the setting. For example, the casual red t-shirt with jeans shows that the actor becomes more comfortable, whereas the work boots and black trousers suggest that he is working on becoming a better man. We have also used a suit as the final stage of the music video as it shows the difference between the drug addict at the beginning of the video and the formal and clean man that is shown at the end of the video.

Digipak drafts

This was the first draft of the extra panel where  have chosen to have an inspirational quote which links to the message of the main product- empowerment and motivation. This, however, doesn't seem to completely work with the conventions of the genre of alternative rock. The black bars behind the text have more fun and ineffective for the message effect, therefore  have decided that this will not be featured in my main digipak.

As with the extra panel, the front cover had a first draft with black bars behind the text, however after realising that the text becomes more fun and exciting I decided to make another version as this was not the message that we, as a group, aimed for with the main product.

Front cover draft

This was the first version of the front cover of the digipak, however after discussing it with my target audience I was reminded that the colour scheme has to be similar throughout the digipak which means that I cannot use the black background as this would break the theme of nature and would not emphasise the message that is being spread. Also, I have made the mistake of adding a Pegi 12 tag on the front cover which is a big mistake as it is not a movie nor a game. Therefore, I will create a different front cover which will fir the conventions and themes of the music video and other ancillary texts.
