The layout follows the 'route of the eye' theory to guide the audience's gaze from the album title to the band artwork to release details. San serif fonts in white contrasting with a blue background are used conventionally throughout. The image depicts a mid-shot of a girl with indie-styled long hair and pale, neutral colors symbolic of freedom against a hilled backdrop to leave space for text without blocking the image.
The document analyzes camerawork, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene conventions in the music video "Always Where I Need to Be" by The Kooks. There are many close-ups of band members playing instruments. Shots are edited quickly to match the upbeat tempo. Sound is intended to be diegetic when the band plays, and non-diegetic during other scenes. Costumes contribute to the indie genre theme, such as the lead singer's fluffy coat and tight jeans. Settings also aim to appear run-down and scruffy.
The album cover uses a simple pink color scheme throughout to portray the band's softer, more feminine indie-rock music. A mid-shot picture of a girl is featured on the front to symbolize love and romance, while the back shows the same girl from behind continuing the theme. Pink is used for the band name and label stamps to maintain visual consistency across the front and back covers.
The Kasabian 'Velociraptor' album cover features four faces surrounding the band's logo in the center to draw attention to the band. The album name references a small but powerful dinosaur, similar to the band's fast, upbeat, and meaningful music. The cover has an indie color scheme of white and black with red accents that symbolize rebellion.
Kasabian are an indie rock band formed in 1997 that took time to gain recognition but broke through with their 2004 self-titled debut album and 2006's "Empire." Led by singer Tom Meighan and guitarist/backing vocalist Sergio Pizzorno, Kasabian draws comparisons to Oasis, The Stone Roses, and Primal Scream. They have released four albums on Columbia Records, dressing in a style fitting their indie/rock image of leather jackets, tight jeans, and matching outfits.
