Notes on the 'Adulthood' soundtrack cover

Actors
* They are mostly sitting/ standing in what looks like an order/structure.
This shows that there is depth behind the cover

* The body language of some of the actors is stand-offish and domineering,
which shows what their character is like, others are sitting in positions where
they look vulnerable and this shows their characters to be naive.

* They all look like they have some kind of connections because they are
standing/sitting quiet close together.


Background
*They are surrounded by harsh, grey shapes (buildings, street lights etc). This
indicates the setting of the film in which the music has come from. The setting is
also recognisable to the target audience, because it has been shot in around an
estate.

* There is a sunset in the background, which dominates most of the cover. This soft
and warm image contrasts the harshness of the grey buildings. This enforces the
idea that there is an underlying message coming through the music and film.


Text
* Some is black and some is white. These are two opposites, so they contrast
each other. This shows the film and music to have two contrasts in the plot/story.

* 'Adulthood' is all capital letters apart from the 'd'. This could show that even through
these characters are adults, there is still immaturity, or things that have happened whilst
they were growing up is still with them, hence the lower case letter.


Other images
* There is a logo advising parental supervision/guidance on the corner of the cover.
This indicates that there is explicit language/themes within the album. This shows the
target audience to be teenagers/ young adults.

* The baseball bat on the floor shows that this is a key image/ issue within the story.
It is not clear because a baseball bat could be associated with sports, or aggression
and violence, as it could be used as a weapon.
