CD Cover


As part of our course we had to create a CD cover. As a group, we decided to go for a simple idea which would be easy on the eye and we want to use bright colours that will be eye-catching and stand out. Ultimately, CD covers are what the consumer sees and thus we deemed making ours brilliant essential.

DeadMau5 were a key inspiration of ours. Not only did we decide to base our music video on pastiche and replicate the use of a 'ghost' costume in our music video, but we also gained a good inspiration from their CD cover which you can see to the right of this. We believed that this cover captured the imagination of the song and was also eye-catching.

Post Filming

Once we had successfully filmed, we had to enter the editing process.

Althought this is a long process, without it, our music video would not be complete and therefore our aims would not be fullfilled.

Practice Shots


The following shots are practice shots which we took prior to filming and these helped us prepare for similar shots and see what worked well and likewise, see what didn't.



Shots like these help us establish good shots and look at what angles would work well for our media production. We took a high angle shot and wanted to figure out if a high angled shot would work for our finalised video.



In this video shot above we filmed someone walking towards the camera of a mid shot straigh angle. This shot was used in the final cut of our music video.



In this shot above we filed a long angled close up shot of someone lying on the floor and which the camara then zooms out showing the whole of the persons body. This shot was orginally planned to be used and featured in the storyboards but was not used in the final music video cut.

Choice of Location


We decided to film in a park. We thought this would be beneficial and would enfore the parody of the dog running around the park without its owner.


To the right you can see a little picture of what the park looks like. We thought it was a well kept park and would suite our music video.
