Digipak

Digipak's

A digipack typically consists of a book-style paper or cardboard outer binding with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. These are usually used for CD singles or specials rather than a whole album. They grew a population in the early 2000's through record labels and record artists. 
This is a standard template and layout of a digipak. The digipak consists of a back cover, front cover, a page for the CD and a inner cover which could contain lyrics or a image of the artists or a short bio of the artist. Some digipak's consist of 6 pages, a front, back and CD holder and then sometimes have lyrics on the other pages or a main image. 
I will be looking into R'n'B digipak's in order to create our own one, to advertise our 'Man Down' sound track.

Changes

Changes to Our Music Video

We a due to film the main content of our music video this Saturday, however we have had issues with communicating with our male character Brad, therefore we have decided to use a different male actor. 
We tried to look for another male actor of a different ethnicity to adhere the R'n'B stereotype, unfortunately we haven't been successful in this search. The filming date is coming close and we need to film regardless due to the time schedule therefore we have come to the conclusion that we will use a white male actor.
We have decided to use Callum who is a close friend of Amy's therefore he is more reliable and easier to contact for additional information about the filming day. Callum, despite being British White, has olive skin therefore will hopefully fit in with the R'n'B genre. We are subverting the stereotype by using a white male actor however we want to subvert the genre to show the change within society.
We are now ready to film on the 5th November.
