Digipak Initial Ideas and Mood Board

Since the name of the song we chose was 'Secrets', and we filmed the video in a church, to create a coherence across all of our tasks we decided it would be good to stick with themes of religion, secrets and freedom. We wanted the album to be dark with a small light source, and we looked at a number of albums such as 'Come Closer' by Miles Kane and 'Defamation of Strickland Banks' by Plan B. These two albums both feature a dark setting and a small light source. From the Miles Kane album, we thought that we could possibly use the silhouette idea in front of a church window. From the Plan B album, we thought that our lead singer sitting in a confession box with similar lighting would work well.


We then had the idea of doves and freedom, relating to 'give all my secrets away'. We liked the idea of having white doves flying away on a dark background, and possibly changing the contrast and effects so that the doves glow on a black background. We also added to this idea by thinking of having a cloudy effect on the background, and possibly having a ray of light shining through the clouds.
We then needed to decide what sort of names would be appropriate for our album. Elliot came up with these ideas:

'Letting Go'

'Breaking Free' 

If we decide to make the album a single, then we would be able to name it 'Secrets' after the song.
