Ideas

My DVD disk label/wrap, and my promotional video are going to be about the band Lacuna Coil. The DVD is going to be of live footage from their up and coming European Tour, which will be taken on set at one of the venues.

For my DVD disk label, I am going to create a standout logo for the band. It will also feature the tracklistings. The background will be quite simplistic so that it does not become too distracting from the other information on it. The colour scheme will use quite dark colours to match the bands music and their mood.

For my DVD disk wrap I am going to a feature a shot of the main band on the front cover. This will either be taken from the live footage i've filmed for the promotional video, a shot of the band in the studio or from a promotional photoshoot. The bands logo will also be featured at the top of the cover above the image of the band. On the back of the cover it will feature a brief summary of what the DVD is about, e.g. the location on the tour of which the footage was filmed. It will have the tracklistings again too. There will be various live images of the band placed around the text, which have been taken from the footage.

For my promotional video I will show footage of the band performing live infront of an audience. I will either do this at a local venue, or on the stage located on campus. I may have to edit the footage to make it seem more atmospheric of a big stadium instead of a small venue. I will also have some backstage footage of the band preparing to go on stage, like getting their guitars ready and warming up. For this part, i may have the footage in black and white and also slow it down to create an intense atmosphere before going on stage. I may have the sound of the audience in the background with some effects to make it more echoey  and to generally give it the sound of a fuller venue, to further add to the atmosphere. Additionally, i may feature some shots of the lights to further add to the gig atmosphere. The video will feature some clips of the bands various performances and maybe talking to the crowd, but not too much as it's only to promote the video and make people want to buy it.
