PANEL 1

     With the Front panel, I wanted to use a striking image that would immediately grab the attention of viewer and I thought this picture of the River Dart would suit perfectly, also due to the main song on the album being called 'Rivers'. The Original picture is completely un-edited. The river behind the rock is actually the original image, but was achieved by using a Photographic technique of a long shutter speed. As the river on that day was flowing particularly quickly, the long shutter speed meant that I was able to capture the fast moving current in a flowing and majestic way, resulting in this image.

PANEL 2 & 5:

    These two panels show the connection between the two characters in the music video, but because the panels will be pulled apart to open up to show panel 3 it also represents the de-connection of the two characters detailed in the video also. 

PANEL 3:

     Throughout the three main panels (1, 3 & 6) I wanted to create a motif of a dream-like state to reflect the music video, as the music video shows very unsure and conflicted characters and a unrealistic motif also goes with that. I also wanted to create an eye-popping colour which would attract people's attention in the marketing sense of the product and purple trees are extremely ascetically pleasing and interesting so it would attract buyers. Also, linking to James Owen Fender's print production on 'The Cloud' where the colour cast on the image creates interest for the audience. 

PANEL 4:

With this panel I wanted a complete contrast to Panel 5 as this panel will be on the back of Panel 5. This creates the sense of split and duality of the relationship and represents the two different sides to the character of 'Nile'.













PANEL 6:

Panel 6 also has the purple/dream-like motif to add to the unsure characters depth. I chose to have a picture of the female character, Ava, because she comes across as the most unsure and unsettled with the breakup and with Nile trying to find her so the last panel is an uneasy picture near a river, summing up the nature of her character nicely. With her touching her necklace it connects with the couple, as the necklace is a motif in the video, but also the location and colours make it seem dream-like, unreal and ethereal, especially with the bright light behind her.
