Examples of House Music Album Covers



The general consensus for the cover art on the majority of the albums present appears to be a simplistic design. They often focus on one image that can be visually stimulating, the image also tells the audience something about the album, for example the Sigala Sweet Love uses bright colours connoting a happy song whilst Disclosure in the bottom right corner users dark colours possibly connoting a deeper meaning, also known as Deep House. However they all use simplistic ideas that are easily creatable and as already stated, visually pleasing. The simplicity means they are easy to recreate and our original idea of using a Vendetta Mask as the main feature would work as most of these album covers have one focus image.

Vendetta Masks


Shopping for Props

Courtesy of the Group bank account, we purchased our props. We have bought three black vendetta masks and a gold one. Ben, David and Alfie will wear the black masks while Sam will wear the Gold one. We had to create an amazon prime account to get our masks delivered in time, most come from China so would not have arrived in time for filming. We ordered a mini Strobe Light to use when filming at Davids, house music is a genre commonly associated with flashing strobe lighting.

Our Inspiration - Nicky Romero


We have chosen to use this as our inspiration due to the use of the costumes, mainly the masks, also the editing matching the beat of the song. Furthermore it is quite a visually pleasing music video and doesn't follow a similar structure to that of most other music videos, by the same token we think it would be very interesting to try an idea similar to the masks and attempt to make it as visually pleasing as this one.

Blogger App

Ben, Sam, David and Alfie have downloaded the Blogger App so that we can view our blog at any point of the day. This enables us to check the blog on the move which would help us when we unsure what posts have been completed and which ones haven't. I personally use the Blogger app to upload posts and pictures, i believe this is easier for us a team because it would be quicker for us to upload a post on our mobile device instead of using a computer or laptop.
