Initial Ideas [Digipak]

This is the initial idea for the cover of our Digipak, however this is not an original image and we would need to take our own for the final product. We have several ideas about photographing people in the woods, which will also link into the initial ideas for our video. We have also decided to create a vinyl pack as well as a CD, as the majority of bands in the genre also release their albums on vinyl.

Slowdive - Alison [Shot Count]

This video contains exactly 50 shots, which seems low for a normal music video, but the genre is dream pop and by nature slower than most other genres, so it fits the genre very well, along with the dreamlike visuals.

Glasser - Apply [Shot Count]

Often with soft dream-pop, the colours are psychedelic pastels and, as the genre suggests, combined with either a dreamy lightness, often contrasted with nightmarish dark. This video for Apply by Glasser is more or less a continuous shot of abstract pulsating visuals, with superimposed shots of the singer. It's often hard to determine where one shot ends and another begins - there are around forty shots in this clip, which is a relatively small amount for a music video but the flowing nature of the song allows the lyrics and visuals to work in harmony.

The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out [Shot Count]

This video by The Smiths for the song "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" contains 82 shots. This is about the right amount for a normal alt/indie music video. The Smiths employ elements of dream pop but a lot of their songs are more up tempo, that is not to say upbeat, as a lot of their music is famed for being depressing in a way.
