The Streets Album cover inspiration

This is the album cover for The streets first album. We liked this picture as it shows a london council block of flats which relates to social realism and also relates to our film as we are basing it in the back streets of london.

We also liked how the bands logo is on a lighter as it relates to smoking. It is a sterotypical view that teenagers from areas such as council estates smoke, as it highlights their rebelious nature. This again relates to our theme and genre.



This is the second album from the streets. We particulary liked this at it shows the main singer/raper from the band waiting at a bus stop. We thought this related well with our film as in our trailer we are including alot of shots of our main character waiting, for    example the long shot of him and his dog at a train station. Showing how his life has no straight direction.

We also liked the strapline on the album cover 'a grand dont come for free' as it relates to money which our main character strives to get.







This is the third album cover. The main raper from the band is again waiting, this time in front of a rolls royce which shows stereotypical britain. The man is wearing trainers and jeans and overall looks chavy, contrasting to the expensive car. We liked the fact that he is again waiting as it relates to our main character.

We liked the strapline  'the hardest way to make an easy living' as it suggests a struggle towards living a good life, which is an issue our main character battles with.



This is the fourth album cover and is very different from the others. The waterfall and simpleness of the picture gives a sense of freedom and is relaxing to look at. We also think it gives a sense of being lost which we thought described our main character well as he is trapped in a world of drugs and violence which is a struggle for him to get out of as he has no money or family, therefore is lost in his own life. 



This is The Streets final album cover. It contrasts hugely with their first album cover of the  grubby looking council flats as the flats shown in this cover appear to be expensive and attractive. As this is their last album cover it could highlight the success of the band and show that they now have money. We liked the contrast from the poor, run down flats to this as it shows that in some situations your life can change for the better, which is what we  want for our main character.

When looking at the streets album covers from start to finish we realised they almost tell a story. They show how the band has gone through a struggle to get to the successful stage they are now at.
