Lyric Breakdown

The image below, are the lyrics for the song 'Darling - Eyes Set To Kill', which has been broken down into the main vocal performances throughout the song.

The sections include Male and Female parts, with duets labelled on the image. 

Doing this will allow us to section off what video footage can be used for various sections, keeping intime with the music and genre of the song.

Digipack Front/Back Cover

The front cover for the digipack, we originally planned it to turn out like the above design, but leading onto the creation of the actual pack, turned out slightly different, using the designed front cover above, we based our design.

Front (Right):

This would have a black background, with the focal point of the cover on the couple in the center, with their hands together creating a heart in the center. The surrounding area would be shrouded in darkness, which blends into the glow of the couple, along with the name of the band displayed at the top of the cover, and the name of the digipack shown at the bottom. Keeping the front cover simple will allow for more distinguished appearance within a shelf of other album covers, allowing it to stand out amongst the crowd.

Back (Left):

The back display will be covered in darkness, following the genre of metalcore, and keeping the continuous colour scheme throughout the digipack. Allowing the tracks, logos, barcode, small print, and top image to be lit, which will allow the text and imagery to stand out. At the top will be a group picture of the band, the female lead singer in the center, with the surrounding band around. The bottom will consist of a barcode, record company, producers, etc. Including the copyright section.

Spine (Center):

The background will be dark, with the band name and album title to run along the edge, with the DVD or CD logo, aswel as the 'BreakSilence Record' logo.

Storyboard

Mind the drawing, it's not the best!

The storyboard above is what we're hoping to achieve, but as this may be very time consuming, with the props, locations and instruments, we may have to change certain sections of the original plan.

We're attempting to re-enact the original concept of the video, attempting to create the in-depth storyline, effects, filters and transitions.

DVD Template's (Digi-Pack)

This is the cover of our digi-pack, for Eyes Set To Kill, with the album Darling.

Front/Back Cover:

The front cover took a while, due to research on what a front cover of a digi-pack consists of, we took photographs of a couple of students, creating a heart with their hands, which relates to the song 'Darling.' 

We stuck to the red and black colour theme which tends to conquer the metal genre, which helped as the 'Eyes Set To Kill' record label, BreakSilence Recordings, has a red, white and black theme, on which I edited out the white background, and replaced it to fit into the cover.

The font style used for each section.

Back Description: Futura - 14 Point.

Back Live Shows Title: PrinceTown LET - 18 Point.

Back Live Shows List: Edwardian Script ITC - 30 Point.

Front Cover 'Darling': Edwardian Script ITC - 60 Point. This allotted text, has a curve flowing throughout, to try and fit the banner which we implemented, we did this by clicking 'Warp Text' and changed the settings to create a flexible title.

Front/Back Cover of the Digi-Pack:

We used Adobe Photoshop CS4, which worked nicely to achieve an 'Eyes Set To Kill' themed cover, using an image of a couple, creating a heart symbol with their hands, gives a typical view of couples in love, which relates entirely to their music, and our chosen song.

Front(Right):
We used the font; Edwardian Script, which created a delicate feel towards the band and their music, as their lead singer is female, it reflects a personal effect on the band. Using the black background, with red text, fit into the genre of Metalcore, as various bands which I've looked at, including 'Bullet for my Valentine' and 'Trivium', use these colour schemes, whether it's on their music videos, CD covers, or their websites.
I created a heart the place of the symbol within their hands, to make it clear to the audience what they're trying to create, and showing their emotion at that current period. Fading out the whole image and heart, fits nicely into the display, as it's a focus, but not the main focus.
The main focus is the white border which is displayed on the bottom of the front cover, creating the focus on the DVD title, along with the white underline on the band name, at the top of the cover.

Back(Left):
This displays the DVD logo, along with the record labels, barcode and other various information which is usually displayed on the DVD/CD cover.
Providing an informative introduction, which describes to the viewer about the band, and what they expect from this package, ontop of the list of performances.

Spine(Center):
Displays the band name and title of the digi-pack, along with the record label, and a hand-drawn heart as the symbol at the top of the spine.


Inside View of the Digi-Pack:

The inside view of the digi-pack, has the continued theme from the front/back cover, and the metalcore genre. Keeping the red and black consistant throughout the package. The background image was taken during the night, when the colour echoed from the moon was red, which fit into the genre perfectly.

The CD/DVD section (Left) was created to display the location of the disc, providing the title of the digi-pack, DVD logo and record label.

To the left of the inside cover, it displays the lyrics of their feature song 'Darling', along with the DVD symbol and record label. 

Overall, the text fits perfectly into the size of the cover, along with the red colour scheme, which fits in nicely.
