Shot List

We plan to use a variety of shots in the production of the DigiPak so that we demonstrate our understanding and knowledge of a range of shot set ups. Shot 4 - a medium close up and shot 5 - a close up shot are the types of shots we plan to experiment with for our front cover of the DigiPak. This is because we feel these types of shots encourage rapport building with the audience and the model featured. These shots show very little background allowing the frame to concentrate on the focus of the models face and specific details. This increases the intimacy of the shot as the true emotions of the artist are represented, which means the audience in this case provide sympathy, and they are enabled to understand what the model is feeling, therefore enabling a sense of relationship building. This would ideally represent the genre of the music video and narrative as themes of sadness and loss would be portrayed. For the back cover of the DigiPak we continue to add to this genre connotations through the use of a medium long shot or an extreme long shot - as presented in frame 1 and 2. These shot types allow for a full length shot of the model with the emergence of background and a sense of place. Due to the realistic shot, the audience will be presented with not only focus on the model but also the surroundings in which she is in. We plan to use this type of shot, where the model is standing alone in a field/ country side setting, we aim to achieve this to attempt to portray the loneliness and isolation that the protagonist in the music video now feels, further indicating the theme of loss.

Mise - En - Scene: 
We want to achieve the images on the front and back of the DigiPak with as much natural and natural looking light as possible Although we are aware that location and resources are difficult in the close up shots of the model, we would like to use natural lighting so that the shadows upon the artists face are soft. The image on the back of the DigiPak will also include natural lighting and we plan to experiment with sunlight and white light of a cloudy day.

For the inside of the DigiPak we then plan to experiment with candle light and fire. We have decided to use candle light rather than the use of model face shots, so that we still attempt to keep shot variety different. The flame of a candle can be interpreted to suggest the fragile state of the relationship of the two protagonists.
