album cover

Equally as important as a music video for creating an image for a song is an album cover, here are some we took as inspiration.

The Kills' album covers in particular had the sort of look we were going for, the Kills as a band are very good at creating an image for themselves, and thus seemed the ideal band to look at in this respect. Both of the covers shown below ended up influencing our album cover generally however they directly influenced some the shots in the video itself.




Taking into account how heavily this style of image had influenced shots in our video we looked for another image style to focus on. We all liked the more modern and simplistic styles of Friendly Fires and in particular Kings of Leon.




In the end we took parts from all of the album covers we had researched, polaroids, cracked surfaces, a black and white colour scheme and the lightbulb.

the final product
