Album cover 2

Looking towards my album cover and the theme of censorship I have been looking at different ways to censor my mouth.  With my original ideas of tape working well I decided I needed more ways to force my mouth closed.  Looking towards Christina Aguilera's album 'Bionic' it gave me a few ideas, the use of chains pulled tightly across my mouth to impair my speech.

I then had ideas about using makeup (something 'Up and Coming' is becoming known for)  using red makeup to draw a cross over my mouth.  

Looking towards more dramatic ways to stop someone from talking I had the idea to 'stitch' my mouth up.  Obviously this would be very painful so I decided to look up makeup tutorials on YouTube, Promise Phan had a very effective yet easy makeup tutorial;

This looks very effective and very easy to do, although very impractical.  Although I am no makeup artist I feel this would be very easy to create and with the use of a clear eyelash glue would look very effective.  As you can see from my previous work I like to work with makeup and I feel I am able to use it well.  

I also intend to use rope in the digipack, using it like the chain to gag myself but also use with a low angle shot of 'Up and Coming' tied to a chair as if kidnapped. 

here is a list I have created to helm me remember my selection of shots;
