Our CD Digipack

Here is our Album artwork, we used various different media sources to edit the pictures we took of the main character in our music video, and also decided to be creative giving the cover various different connotations. The word desire has many meanings and can be different to different people, we wanted to show this in our album covers and inserts.



The digi-pack template I used for my CD in Adobe Photoshop.

 

 

Our Band Website

We wanted to create a website for our band, including things such as photographs, tour dates and merchandise, to promote the band further than the music video. We created our band website on Wix, and got an understanding of what band websites look like by analysing many of them online, such as Catfish and the Bottlemens website. Here is the link and image of the first page it brings people to when they click on the site.

Marina and the Diamonds 'Primadonna' Analysis

Noun: primadonna

 The chief female singer in an opera or opera company.

synonyms:

leading soprano, leading lady, diva, (opera) star, protagonist, heroine, principal singer, female lead

Noun: prima-donna

"The prima-donna behaviour of some of the stars"

synonyms:

temperamental person, unpredictable person, self-important person "the sport's overpaid prima donnas would throw tantrums on court"

The opening clip introduces the name of the artist, the colour pink connotes youth and femininity. It is clear that Marina wants to portray this throughout as she dances around throughout and sings about a Primadonna ‘girl’ showing the youth and femininity which is shown throughout the video.

    

There is then various shots of Marina, where she is sat in a bed, with a pink top on – further showing the feminine theme throughout the video. Her long lower eyelashes show a seductive and flirty side to her as it is clear she wants to look pretty and attractive.

The shot of Marina with a Chandelier being the main focus shows the luxurious lifestyle she is living, clearly suggesting she is enjoying the lifestyle as she is looking around at the area.

The close up of Marina’s face, with her red lips which connotes love and lust, as well as power. This further suggests the ‘Primadonna’ aka female protagonist, as the red draws attention to her lips and the words she is saying giving her power to the viewer as they are intrigued in her every word.

In the video, she holds up a camera to the camera. This is another example of how she shows power, as she is almost in control, as she is the main focus of the shot but it also seems like she is filming the audiences.

This low angle shot shows her in a position of power also, and the fur shawl suggests her wealth and status.
