INSIDE COVER (RIGHT)
The right inside cover is a picture of a tree canopy, which I took on Holiday in Africa, I felt that it was important to make reference to the nature as that is a key aspect and theme of our video. It also represents the Folk/ rock genre associated with our video.
INSIDE COVER (LEFT)
The left inside of my album cover is just a picture taken from the actual music video, I felt that this will help consumers relate the artists album to the video and promote the song. The picture is in black and white again presenting the theme of contrast.
TRACK LIST ON MY CD COVER
The track list for my album cover is as follows:
1. Dog Days are Over
2. It's Just Me
3. Mistakes
4. Never Before
5. Lost
6. My Last Resort
7. Unforgiven
8. Wasted Breath
9. Gone
10. Light on Your Shoulders
I chose the track list because i felt that they were fitting with the indie genre, a few of the songs are taken from indie bands and single female artists and changed the names, for example I adapted Florence and the Machine's Heavy in your arms to Light on your shoulders and Kelly Clarkson's Never Again to Never Before.

The background is just a close up of part of the front cover, the hand is black and white and contrasts which shows a contrast of the themes in the video, and the rest of the album, the black nails adhere to the indie/ rock genre and the image itself also adheres to a rock theme, as our genre is more alternative indie/ rock I have tried to cover all these on my album cover.

ANALYSIS OF A CD COVER
Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More
Choosing an artist from our genre proved challenging as Florence and the Machine are generally placed in the Alt. Folk Rock category, however, i have decided to analyse the Mumford and Sons album 'Sigh No More' i felt this was fitting to our band as, not only were they the same genre of music, but also this was their fist album, similar to ours. The band feature on the front of their album and the band name and title of the album is clear and can be easily read by the consumer, all of which adhere to the stereotypical layout of modern album cover, they feature the artist and a clear depiction of the name and band or singers name. However, the band are small and in the background, hidden behind a\ shop window, this could be to suggest that they are not fully famous yet and are not a well know band when they released their album. It can also suggest that also the band connotes to the typical presentation of the modern day singer,in some aspects, they still remain independent and unique (possibly representing their style of music) a smaller, 
simple font and title express there feelings on the importance of the music and not fame and publicity. Unlike some artists who will display a large photograph of their face with heavy make-up, there is no mention of the music and the product appears to be more of a photo shoot opportunity rather than an album. The use of colour also make the band stand out, the shop in which they are displayed within is white and stands out to the consumer as opposed to the darker houses next door. The back cover (right) has a picture of a window in the middle, this could represent, as the eyes are a 'window to the soul' the back 'window' is a a window to the album as you can see the songs and gather more information about the album itself. The same simple font has been kept for the back of the cover as well as the front, this can be a representation of genre and style, the band stick to a specific style of music throughout the album.

AEROSMITH - PINK ANALYSIS
To help us with our idea of an audition - style music video we studied Aerosmith's music video for their song 'Pink', as it shows a number o different characters lip syncing in different costumes we thought we could integrate this style in to our own video. We can shoot different people auditioning for the band and editing the footage to show the change of person to represent the busy auditions.
In the video, Aerosmith have left gaps between people singing, filling them with hr characters, we thought we could do this with people auditioning for instruments as it would be difficult to editing together lip syncing, as it might not look realistic and be ineffective.
