famous album art analysis

Firstly there isn't an artists name on the front cover, this means the artist i well known and doesn't need his name on the front. Also with out a name on the front it would also make someone pick it up to find out who is actually the artist. On the front cover theres a naked women on the front covering her breast and a lot of rap music has to do with girls. On the back of the album cover there isn't a list of the songs on the back so that means you need to buy the album to find out which is a good idea to sale the album

The most common CD Digipaks is the 4 panel Digipak which opens like a book. However 6 panel CD Dipipaks are also very popular, providing a larger canvas for CD artwork and text information about the CD. 8 panel and even 10 panel CD Digipaks are also available. In fact, being made from cardboard stock, the number of panels, CD trays and CD booklets mean that CD Digipak combinations almost infinite – such versatility makes it is easy to see how the CD DigiPak has become such a popular CD packaging solution.

Product Placement

The company which owns the product pays the production company of the music video to put their product within the video with an aim of advertising their product. Rap music is a good example of this because they constently rap about money girls ad cars so in the video there will be a lot of product placement.

Vox pops

The word Vox Pops comes from Latin 'Vox populi' meaning 'voice of the people'.
Usually the interviewees are shown in public places and are supposed to be giving put-on-the-spot-opinions. Vox Pops are often used on news programmes to show balance. Each person is asked the same questions, the aim is to get a variety of answers and opinions. Journalists are usually instructed to approach a wide range of people to get varied answers from different points of view.

We prepare the following questions to ask people for our vox pops:
-Do you watch music videos?
-What is your favourite music video?
-What is it that you like about music videos?
-What do you think makes a good music video?
