FINAL: Music Video!

After many months of filming and editing, we have finally competed our music video for Earlyrise's over of Narcissistic Cannibal (originally done by Korn)!
Our artist, Noxa, wakes up in an eternal forest, personified to be purgatory, and throughout the music video, it shows the corruption of her innocence, ending with her eventually succumbing to her dark side. This is all thanks to the evil, but unknown, 'Narcissistic Cannibal', who the song is directed at.

FINAL: My Digipak Images



This was before I made some slight changes.
This is after:
 
 
 


The Inside right photo is a dark photo of a bridge, to symbolise how alone she feels, and that this is a main issue discussed throughout the album, which can be justified through narcissistic cannibal, as she is alone in the music video. The CD itself fades from white to grey, symbolising that her innocence is fading away, often an issue discussed in rock songs. The colour scheme is quite dark, which is typical of that of an Alternative Rock digipak.

The back contains a bar code, the Shotgun Records label and copyright information. 
The songs surround Noxa in both directions, to show that she is trapped. It can be said that the feeling of being trapped is a substantial theme within the record. An example of this could be from song 'Hate That I Love You', implying that she is an a vicious cycle of loving someone, and she hates the fact that she is trapped within the cycle. Some of the songs are covers of rock artists, for instance 'Nobody's Listening' is a cover of Linkin Park.
You can also see that the record discusses personal issues. This can be implied through the song titles 'Say Sorry' and 'Dear Diary'. 

 
The spine is the album title 'Narcissistic Cannibal' on top of a wooden material. I have tried to make it look like the surface of the bridge in the inside cover.
 

The front cover contains Noxa, her name and the album title. The dark filter, morbid facial expression and the fact that Noxa and the title are glowing, gives the cover a creepy effect, as the dark background and the white glow clashes. 

 The inside left cover is a continuation of the inside right, as it shows more of the isolated setting, emphasising her loneliness, and can be analysed further into describing how empty she feels inside. It can be further looked into by saying that this Alternative Rock album isn't loud and boisterous, but is lighter in tone, but heavier in meaning. There is also a small 'about' section, in order to make the audience feel as if they are already getting exclusive content. There are also song lyrics to give an example as to what sort of themes are going to be discussed in her music.
