This cover is for the 'Black holes and revelations' album by Muse. I have picked this album to analyse because it is a very distinct cover and Muse are a band with the same genre as the song I have chosen to recreate a music video for.This cover is very conventional as it has a very obvious link with the title of the album. 'Black holes and revelations' automatically conjures up ideas of outer space and this album cover clearly depicts people on another planet, and if you look closer at the cover in the top left hand corner there is the earth roughly in the same position as the sun or moon would be. This therefore is meant to depict that they are in a black hole. The artist name and title of the album are also situated in the top right hand corner in bold black lettering, this on the light blue background makes them stand out. As soon as the audience looks at the album they know who its by and what its called, and they can pretty quickly work out the link between the picture and the album title. However some album covers tend to be more ambiguous and it is harder to work out who its by and what its called.
The shot is long shot so that the audience can see the people's full bodies and the table that they are sat around. It also allows the audience to see quite far back into the picture as it has lots of depth to it. This album cover plays on the idea of another world through a black hole, and it puts forward a few ideas.
