Costume/Make up:
- Normal clothes light colours(to be seen in the dark), (no brands or Music related)

Colour:
-We plan to use different shades of blue filter and more pastely colours such as light green and purple. We will also use glow in the dark paint which we will enhance to stand out in editting. When the words that are within the lyrics come up we will enhance the object or text to stand out. In other parts of the video such as at the beginning we will have a time lapse shot of the sun setting, here we will enhance the reds and oranges to emphasise the colours of the sun setting.

Flat plans



These are my flat plans for my digipak. I used similar ideas on each using imagery from our video to connect the promo pak together. I used the trippy imagery that is used on the other MGMT digipak i looked at and decided not to use Yes's style of artwork as it didnt match our song and band. These 3 flatplans are all are aimed at the same audience as our video because we need to be consistent with our advertising to do this i used imagery that would appeal to the teen audience such as the tanks, grenades, musical instruments and alcohol.
In the first flatplan (top left) i used imagery from the video heavily using it for the front cover and back cover to empahsise the connection.
The second flatplan (top right) i used the trippy aspects of the video alot more, such as the shot of people stumbling through a line of light thats rushing towards the foreground. For the front cover of this digipak i decided to have the main focus the title of the song and have weird objects floating around it, all of these objects relate to the lyrics and/or video.
In the final flatplan i used alot more inspiration from the song using war like imagery. I then also used the shot of people stumbling through light and the starting shot on the back to keep the connection between the two products. I think this is the digipak i will finally make in Indesign because it relates to the song better than the other two and it also keeps the trippy nature of MGMT.
