TASK 1: FORMS AND CONVENTIONS

THE CD DIGI PACK
We used our main character of the music video which was the girl, for the music video. This goes against the conventions of the normal album covers as it would usually have the artist or band on it for e.g. one direction album cover, this is a similar English band targeted at a female dominated audience. In this cover you see the band how the usually are in music videos, all cheerful and happy.
and the title, on top and away from their faces. However in my final cd digi pack we had the title right in the middle across the cover. We were able to get away the unconventional styles due to the music genre, which is quite indie//alternative so therefore we were able to pull it off.

We chose the girl specifically the girl from the video running up that hill as that was the most popular song on the album and people would be more able to recognize the cd digi pack as the song is popular which means they've most likely watched the video, which means they can recognize the girl.

The dark moody vibe the colors of the album cover are there to represent and reflect the bands type of music music and genre.
ON THE BACk
Theres a barcode and small print, which is commonly found in album covers as they are needed for them to be purchased.
We have pt parental advisory due to the explicit content of the songs and the use of bad language.
The track listing is also conventional as most album covers have 10-20 songs on there.
