PRODUCTION IDEAS

DESIGN 1: FIRST PANEL

For this design, I have the
two images of the
characters overlapping as
to symbolise the of two
identities of the individual,
reinforcing the theme of
Dissociative Identity
Disorder (DID) present
throughout the music video.
It features the bands name
in capitals in the centre at
the top of the cover as to
hold it at central importance
and effectively promote the
band.

DESIGN 1: SECOND PANEL

This design features
cards similar to Tarot
cards, of which display
supernatural themes.
This is in reference to
the forest location of
both the video and the
image itself, of which
has strong
supernatural and
horror connotations, as
well as being linked to
lycanthropy.

DESIGN 1: THIRD PANEL

As with many cases of
Dissociative Identity Disorder in
which the main personality
splits into several parts with
dissociative or amnesic barriers
between them, having a
reference to time would be
effective in linking to this theme
as well as adding a sense of
uncertainty between the two
parts of the character and who
in fact is dominant and has
control. Therefore I decided to
have an image of a pocket
watch in the forest, suggesting
a natural, organic basis of the
characters psychosis.

DESIGN 1: BACK PANEL

I decided to use an image of a
pair of shoes hanging from a tree
in the forest, much like when kids
throw shoes over phone lines in
the streets. This is in reference to
the tripartite personality theory
from Freud in which suggests that
we have the Id of which is the
childish, selfish part; the
Superego of which is the
moralistic part and the Ego of
which mediates between the two.
It is suggested that if the Id is the
dominant part then it can lead to
the development of certain
psychotic disorders, and thus this
child like element is reflective of
this, as well as mirroring the final
shot of the music video.

DESIGN 2: FIRST PANEL

In this design, it only
features an image of the
girl, with it being split down
the middle so the cover
opens into two halves. This
is to symbolise the theme of
DID and the fact that what
one portrays on the outside
is very different to what is
going on in their head or
personal life. It features the
bands name in capitals in
the centre at the top of the
cover as to hold it at central
importance and effectively
promote the band.

DESIGN 2: SECOND, THIRD AND FORTH

PANEL

The first panel opens into these panels, with an image of the
dissociative identity on the back of the image of the girl. For the middle
panel I kept the idea of the cards similar to Tarot cards, of which display
supernatural themes. This is in reference to the forest location of both
the video and the image itself, of which has strong supernatural and
horror connotations, as well as being linked to lycanthropy.

DESIGN 2: FIFTH PANEL

I decided to use an image of a
pair of shoes hanging from a tree
in the forest, much like when kids
throw shoes over phone lines in
the streets. This is in reference to
the tripartite personality theory
from Freud in which suggests
that we have the Id of which is
the childish, selfish part; the
Superego of which is the
moralistic part and the Ego of
which mediates between the two.
It is suggested that if the Id is the
dominant part then it can lead to
the development of certain
psychotic disorders, and thus this
child like element is reflective of
this, as well as mirroring the final
shot of the music video.
