I have chosen the image above as I believe it represents what pop culture, and similarly our music video is about.
This is the CD cover, for Mika's album.I chose this CD cover to analyse as I feel it reflects some of the techniques that I wish to incorporate in our CD cover. Mika is a solo artist that generally tends to produce music that fits into the pop genre which is the same genre as the music video we are creating.
The CD cover is vibrant and inviting, mainly because of the great use of bold and bright colours. It holds a very 'random' theme and the images supported on the cover are extremely varied (from sofa's to a piano); however it all tis together well. This is similar to our idea for the music video as we are incorporating many different acts and shots to create a bizarre video, but at the same time and coherent and fluent extract.
The images are cartoonised (relating to the album title - life in cartoon motion) and out of proportion. A small image of Mika is included, which is featured in a different colour scheme but still following the cartoonised theme. The image is almost a sepia tone. (browns and grey) because these colours are different from the remainder of the bright cover it allows it to stand out and draws the audiences attention towards it. Furthermore Mika's name is in large bold white writing that dominates most of the centre of the cover once again drawing attention to his name in order to promote his label. The name of his album (Life in Cartoon Motion) is in much smaller text and fits in with the CD cover as it almost looks like a doodle.
