in what ways does your media product use, challenge or develop conventions of a real media product?

When creating our digipak we decided to take some experimental pictures of snow and blood as the contrast between colours would have a effect, we also took some pictures whilst traveling as we thought the speed would be effective as with metal it is fast paced therefore a shot that captures speed I felt suited the genre. We experimented with as many different shots as possible to see what we could do to get the right shot to work in photoshop

We used the two shots described and put them into our digipak as they were themed with the album title in the right way and didnt look out of place on the digipak. The shots are typical for a lot of metal bands as lots of metal CD covers envelop gore and blood into there themes. This usually plays on the fact that a lot of people associate metal music as frightening as the singing style is so intense and different from normal popular music.
