Digi-Pack Planning

My group and I started planning out our digi-pack. We are planning to create an album cover that is hypnotizing and mysterious, but also beautiful and engaging. As we scavenged the internet for images that would fit the look for out digi-pack, I remembered the Rorschach Tests from my AP psychology class. These tests were created by a psychologist Hermann Rorschach. He created these mirrored ink blot images that he would use to diagnose people with schizophrenia by testing their creativity. These images are really captivating and they make you think about what you're looking at. We also think that these images fit in with the narrative of our video, since its about a crazy girl. The image would play on with the whole song and video since its about a girl who isn't mentally stable. 

I started searching for things that would inspire me on how to make the singer/main actress in the video more empowering and visually striking. I was having no luck finding anything good since most of the trip hop/baroque pop artists are mainly nice, beautiful and mellow-looking people. This was  called In This Moment. The lead is named Maria Brink and the way she presents herself in her music videos is what I would like to try to duplicate. In This Moment's music videos are very visually striking and they mix that with Maria Brink's looks, sensuality, and great props. The videos show her in an attractive manner with visually impacting scenes. These glitchy shots and scenes really engage the audience as they ask themselves "wait...what did I just see?". I strive to achieve this with my group in the video.

 The visuals will not fit in with the usual sound that Lana Del Rey gives in her music. Our video will be more of like a In This Moment music video mixed with a Lana Del Rey song.

New Project, New Ideas

Today, we began planning for out other project. As we all agreed to do a Lana Del Rey song, we were all inspired to give her loving lyrics a twisted angle. I heard the song "Serial Killer" by Lana Del Rey and I began to actually listen to her lyrics, and I looked them up. The lyrics for this song are actually very disturbing. She says about how she is so obsessed with a guy and how she'll do anything like "get into a fake bar fight" to get this guy's attention. Lana Del Rey has a very interesting view on romance, with this song she has an "unhealthy obsession hidden under a sweet beat and chorus". As i read these lyrics, I began to conjure ideas on how to expose and abuse this hidden factor in her song "Serial Killer". I came up with the idea for a music video that makes the singer/main character to have a creepy stalking complex, but the obsession goes a bit too far. The video would consist of a girl who is attractive, yet creepy singing and acting in it. The video would be part promotional, and part narrative.
