cd digipak research

i have decided to produce a cover for its release as part of a digipack (CD/DVD package)

This is the mock up of what a normal digipak would look like.
I am now going to analyse various CD covers from my chosen genre. I will also analyse a few pictures of the artist who sings my chosen song to allow me to focus on the type of pictures i will need to be taking of my actor.

These covers are all from Beyonce's recent album which is were the song "Hello" is from. Therefore the style is relevant to what the conventions of my video should look like.
All three pictures are in light black and white, this emphasizes the raw emotion in Beyonce's face.
Also Beyonce's expressions on all three are serious and her hair is pushed back to show her full face.
Each one has a significant pose in which the hands and arms are being used in a particular way. For example in the first picture Beyonce is using her hands to pretty her face. & show show the jewelry she has on her hands. One the second picture Beyonce is pushing her hair back to emphasize her face. In the last picture Beyonce appears to have no clothes on & her arms appear to be protecting her body. This shows Beyonce in a vulnerable light. The location is also on the beach which is a stereotypical love scene.
