Digipak mock-up

Following on from our digipak research we had gained sufficient inspiration and knowledge to come up with our own idea. We decided upon an industrial setting and the key piece of mise-en-scene will be a vespa motorcycle which reflects the mod sub-culture of the time of ska. To give our design a comedy feel we decided to put the lead singer on the motorcycle, spinning out of control and this is communicated to the audience through the inside right cover which shows the bikes rev counter at maximum. The rest of the band will be chasing after him and their reactions are highlighted through the cu of their faces on the inside left cover. The back will feature a smoking tyre kicking up the song titles into the air.

We thought carefully about how we want to construct the star image of the band, and this is highlighted through their mise-en-scene in their costumes. They will be wearing an assortment of mod related clothes such as parkas, polo shirts, denim jackets, shirts and ties, union jack jumpers and boots.
