Lyrics breakdown

Warpaint – Shadows 

Intro 0:00 – 0:13 (For the intro we will have the actress stood in a city with everything but them rewinding)

I know I'm afraid, I know I'm afraid, 0:13 – 0:19 (for the next two lines we hope to do the same as the intro but only with everything in fast forward with the actress singing. The actress will appear drunk, tired and afraid with an empty bottle of wine to emphasise the lyrics. We hope to use a long shot for this)
I'm drunk and I'm tired, 0:19 – 0:21 
And the city I walk in, the city I walk in, 0:21 – 0:28 (For the next two lines the actress will be walking in the busy city again with an empty bottle of wine appearing drunk)
It feels like it swallows, 0:28 – 0:32 (hopefully a trombone shot will be used in this line to emphasise the lyrics)
With my hand in my pocket, 0:32 – 0:35 (A shot of the actress walking with their hands in their pockets, the camera slowly moves to the ground where her shadow is lit up by a street light)
I feel like a shadow, I feel like a shadow. 0:37 – 0:45

Though I'm afraid, 0:46 – 0:48 (hopefully for the next two lines the actress will be in a quieter, darker street where she is surrounded by shadows on the walls which would represent her mistakes)
Afraid that I have made mistakes. 0:50 – 0:53 
Now there's nothing here for me. 0:56 – 0:59 (a close up of the actresses face is used)
The things you once told me, 1:00 – 1:02 (hopefully for the next few lines we will use a 360 degree pan of the actress and the lights in the background. First turn will be a medium shot and will be a low angle 360 degree pan)
The thoughts you once gave me, 1:02 – 1:05 
Sound like the wind in my ears 1:06 – 1:09 
That blows out the knots I've got in my long brown hair. 1:10 – 1:17 (a close up shot of our actress brushing her long brown hair)

I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that. 1:20 – 1:31 (a medium long shot of a shadow)
What did you whisper in my ear? 1:35 – 1:43 (medium shot of one girl whispering into another girls ear with words coming out of the girls ear who is getting whispered to)
What did you tell me that I wanted to hear? 1:47 – 1:55 (the actress is writing in her dairy about previous events, a close up of her face whilst she is thinking “what did you tell me”?)
What was the answer you wanted me to find out? 1:58 – 2:07 There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies... 2:08 - 2:19 (For these lines we will have a tracking shot of the actress walking across a field towards a fire for the line after that she will be throwing letters into the fire, and the camera will be showing this from the other side of the fire, jump cuts might also be used for each time it says ‘lies’)


Brought back something, 2:28 – 2:31
A bit for you, a bit for everyone. 2:31 – 2:34
You and all your pieces, 2:35 – 2:37
You and all your pieces made me come, 2:38 – 2:42
And all that love you gave was strong enough to make me stay and now it will be alright. 2:42 – 2:51 (rewind a tracking shot of someone walking away from their house so that they are returning to the house they left)

I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that. 2:55 – 3:05
I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that. 3:08 - 3:19 (girl dancing with sparklers around the fire) 

What did you whisper in my ear? 3:23 – 3:27 
What was the answer you wanted me to find out? 3:32 – 3:42
There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies... 3:43 – 3:54 (girls stood around the fire whilst one is whispering into the other girls ear)

Digipak analysis

The digipak I have chosen is Oasis's, Stop the Clock album which is also there greatest hits. On the front cover of the digipak there are four images, the first image is at the top left and it is an image of the bands name which in the case is Oasis. This image is of the bands logo which is there name in a white font and a black background. This is helping the audience identify the digipaks content. Another image on the font cover is a wooden wardrobe and inside are toys and clothing such as Elvis figures, snow white and the seven dwarves ornaments, an Elvis jacket and other vintage objects. The designer was Sir Peter Blake who also designed the Beatles cover for Sgt. Pepper and the Lonely Hearts Club Band. The third image on the front cover is of a door with a blue background, painted on it is CD 1 inside the digipak painted twice. The last image is of a wooden table with objects on top of it and beneath it. These objects are a similar style to the ones inside the wardrobe which are old looking worn out toys which are from the 1940's till 1960's. All of these images and objects create an age to the album making the album feel and look like it’s not from this time, probably the reason the band named the album "stop the clocks".

Inside the digipak has four spaces, the first is a small book featuring images of the band in different years, song titles and the lyrics to the songs and a small history about the band. The second and third place in the digipak is the two main CD's featuring all the songs on CD1 it is an old fashioned roulette wheel with a red ring around the outside. CD 2 is the same to CD 1 but has a blue ring around it. The fourth place is a DVD about the band and is titled "Big Brother" this CD has a image of the front cover but at a different angle.

Advert analysis

This album advert is for the album Kingdom of Rust by Doves. The only thing included in this advert is large text which covers the whole of the advert and some smaller text towards the bottom which is quite small font. Although there is just text included in this advert the larger text has images included within it. Within the larger font we can see that the text is made up of images of rust which goes with the album name Kingdom of Rust. As the background is black this helps the text to stand out as well as it being quite bold. Although this is the main focus in the advert the smaller text does also stand out as the text is in white. This text needs to stand out on the advert as it is a key piece of information about the album. As there are no images in this advert this allows us to focus on the most important thing which is the album information, obviously being something which the band want to advertise mostly.
