Album Art Research
I have found some album art and disk designs from artists within the similar genre to which I am aiming at. I have found that the artist is most likely to be featured on the album cover which has an engaging effect on the audience as they then would recognise this artist.
Through my research I have come to the conclusion that the disk art from these albums are fairly plain, with a colour or pattern dominating the disk. A majority of these disks have the artist's name printed on it as well as the album name. A practical use of this would be so if the album cover and disk separate then it is easy to match them up again.
I have also discovered that the album cover and disk usually have a similar theme, whether it be colour, pattern or image.

Improved Parts
The making of - Part 1 (18/11/12)
My contingency was to go to the outside dining area for Costa Coffee, where they were more than happy to allow us to film in return of custom.
We stayed in town until I had everything I needed in this setting which was around 10:45AM where we went to my house in order to prepare my main protagonist (Sofie) for her role which curly hair.

Annotated meaning from the lyrics
I have come to the conclusion that the title "The Dog Days Are Over" has a hidden meaning of "When The Happiness Ends" so for an example of when the happiness ends, I am going to include a narrative containing a relationship break up. As well as an inspirational video of the girl becoming happy again to coincide with the upbeat tune.
