Initial ideas before starting CD cover

1. The Artist

the song is inclusive of two different artists, Mysto and Pizzi and Kanye West. Kanye West produced the original song, which is a strong representative for the pop genre. Mysto and Pizzi add a Electro House flare that builds the song up into a highly varied musical production.

The Mysto and Pizzi remix adds the electro house genre to the song, without disregarding the old genres, such as pop. The previous genres followed the narrative. This gave us a story to base our shots around, the electro house genre then gave us dynamic sounds and strong beats to spice up the video, making far more insteresting than the original.

Kanye West style of production originally used pitched-up vocal samples from soul songs mixed with his own drums and instruments. However, subsequent albums saw him extend his music style he began expressing influences that ranged from '70s R&B, to synth-pop, and classical music.

2. Mysto and Pizzi do not have a album, however, there remix's all follow a similar trend, focusing mostly on the Electro house genre/ techno.

3. The album will be called Lockdown, to fit in with the lyrics, without taking straight from Kanye Wests original. The name lockdown, also gives as greater scope for development as "Love Lockdown" will leave us with a small theme.
