Introduction

This blog will be a working record of my progress in producing a final A2 production. My chosen brief is the one below:

A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:
 • a website homepage for the band;
• a digipak for the album’s release;
• a magazine advertisement for the digipak.

I will be creating both the band's Website Homepage and the digipak artwork as my ancillary tasks.

Due to copyright issues, I plan to arrange a cover of a song called Tin Pan Alley, originally by The Gaslight Anthem. I chose not to contact The Gaslight Anthem's record label or the rightful owners of the song to gain permission for the original recording as I want the ancillary tasks to be accurate to the recording used and produce the entire package relevant to a new artist, not The Gaslight Anthem themselves. The cover will be similar to the acoustic version below performed by the lead singer of The Gaslight Anthem, Brian Fallon:

My initial idea, which will be developed is for the Music Video to begin with the ending of a party where difficulties have caused a fall out between one of the performers and their partner. After the scene is set that the party is over and all bar the two performers have gone home, one begins to perform the song and the other joins in. To reveal the falling out, there are flashes back to events throughout the night and other days where cracks are forming. By the end of the song; however, it turns out the partner has been listening from the exit and has returned.
