Revised Ideas for Digipak

As we have changed our ideas for the music video, including actor ideas, setting ideas, and a new plot, I decided I needed to update and improve my Digipak ideas.
This has included using the new actor, and ideas of strong links between the visuals in the music video, and the pictures for the Digipak.
I am planning to edit the photos, to make them look surreal to fit in with the theme of the animation in our music video. I plan to do this by using an editing tool I discovered on Microsoft Word, that transforms an image to "Black and White" (not grey scale) showing high contrast and creating an effect similar to our shadow puppetry. I believe this will market the artist still, but create an interesting mise-en-scene that will attract consumers.
I also want to include various shots of the artist (the actor, Tamas, posing as the artist) to keep with marketing the image of the band. I am planning to use similar generic costumes to the one used in our music video.
I have also been advised to link the music video and Digipak in more than just the ways I have fore mentioned. This could be done by using screen-shots of our music video, then editing/tweaking them so they fit in with the Digipak. I plan to use this idea for some of my covers. For example, I could use an image from the video for the back-cover, and then add text to it for the song names and small-print, creating an interesting image that links subtly to the music video, keeping a consistent mise-en-scene throughout my productions.
