Magazine Advert



Above is the magazine advert for the digipak. They plan to give out free copies of the E.P at a future gig, so I produced this to put in a free local pack called Don't Panic which promotes bands.

Final Digipak


Above is the final printable digipak for "Fly Honey Warehouse (To Go, Please)". The cut out cover folds in half and stuck along the tabs. I decided on a card digipak because it is relatively cheap to produce and the band is giving away it's E.P for free, so I was asked to keep costs down whilst designing this for them.

Shooting Script (Finally!)

The finished shooting script for the music video is below-


INT            DARK BUT COLOURFULLY LIT STAGE

The first shot is of a close up of the lead guitar. On the beat we cut to similar close ups of the other guitars, and at the drum fill we cut to the drum kit. We then repeat this, but on the last shot we cut to

EXT            MORNING            COLD FROSTY FIELD

Lead singer is walking across a field smoking in the cold morning. The shot is very empty. The footage is jump cut to make it look as though the lead singer is teleporting about the field.

INT            DARK BUT COLOURFULLY LIT STAGE

We cut between the guitars on the beat, then the Lead singer sings the lyrics “Do you know how it feels?” into microphone with light behind him. We then see a close up of him playing guitar. He then sings, “To phase out from what is real” and we see another close up of the other guitar playing, which fades out.

EXT             NIGHT            LONG ALLEY WITH STREET LAMP           

The members of the band appear one by one at the end of a dark alley, stood under a streetlight. “I need a pick me up to go” is the lyrics in the background

INT             DARK BUT COLOURFULLY LIT STAGE

Cut back to the close up of the bass guitar playing. On the words “Because if there’s no lights then there’s no show” a slow fade of the entire band playing comes up and sustains for the bridge, until the solo, when we cut back to the original close up of the drums and the guitar.

EXT            NIGHT            DARK STREET LIT WITH STREET LAMPS

We are in a street with lots of lamps, so the lead singer’s shadow is jumping about the place. The lyrics “And I’d give you what’s mine to share” are being sung in the background.

EXT             MORNING            COLD FROSTY FIELD

Slow fade up of a shot of an attractive girl walking toward the camera, looking directly into it. The lighting is coming from the other way to the shot of the lead singer. “But you wouldn’t even care” are the lyrics being sung in the background. “All the little things I hold” is sung whilst we see a similar shot of the lead singer.

INT            DARK BUT COLORFULLY LIT STAGE

We cut back to the shot of the lead singer and the microphone. He sings “How can I trust they won’t get bought out, sold out, Cast away their souls just torn out?”

EXT            MORNING            COLD FROSTY FIELD

The lyrics “And you, you aren’t the one for which I care” are sung and we see over the shoulder of the lead singer looking at the girl, and then the girl looking at the lead singer.  We then cut back to

INT            DARK BUT COLOURFULLY LIT STAGE

The lyrics “But you’re the only one, who’s really there” are being sung as we pan round the band and the singer to the crowd, where there is only the girl stood there watching.

EXT             NIGHT            DARK STREET LIT WITH STREET LAMP

We cut back to the same shot as before, but this time a close up of the lead singer as the lyrics “In this old heart of mine”. We cut to the same street, but looking out at it from a window whilst the lyrics “Now I’m just going through a hard time”

INT            DARK BUT COLOURFULLY LIT STAGE

We cut to the lead singer singing “A hard time, baby a hard time”. We cut to the guitar as it solos and then the drums as they solo, as in the intro.

EXT            NIGHT            DARK STREET LIT WITH STREET LAMPS

The lead singer is running down the street. The chorus is repeated and we see various cuts of the band dancing about on the stage during this section, with a fish eye effect on the camera, whilst the camera zooms in and out. We also see the girl stood in the audience, as before. The shot is contrastingly still and slowly zooms in as we cut about to the shots previously mentioned.

EXT            MORNING            HILL LEADING UP TO STONE CIRCLE

“Do you know how it feels” is being sung as the girl walks up the hill to the lead singer. It is jump cut as in the intro.

EXT            NIGHT            LONG ALLEY WITH STREET LAMP

“To phase out what is real” is being sung in the background and the band standing at the end slowly disappear (the opposite to what happened earlier).

INT            DARK BUT COLOURFULLY LIT STAGE

“I need a pick me up to go” whilst we see a close up of the lead singer, we then cut to the entire band on “because if there’s no light there’s no show”. We can see the girl in the audience.

EXT            MORNING            COLD FROSTY FIELD

“You, you aren’t the one for which I care” is sung as we see a shot of the lead singer looking out at the field is sped up so the clouds move quickly.

We see a close up of the lead singer singing “Hard time, baby, a hard time”. We then slowly zoom out to see the whole band finish the song to a slow fade
