However, they also challenged conventions by showing the female modestly dressed and portraying a gentle interaction between the male and female artists, departing from typical hypersexualized depictions. For the digipak, they utilized design elements commonly found in commercial music packaging like track listings and credits. Overall, the projects utilized some real-world conventions while also attempting to challenge stereotypical portrayals sometimes found within those genres.

Here are some key points about lighting we will use:
- Natural lighting outside for most scenes to keep it realistic
- Bright portable torches when needed for additional lighting outside
- Studio lights in black background chorus scene for artistic effect
- Mix of practical lights e.g. street lamps, car headlights in night scenes
- Back lighting, side lighting, top lighting to get dramatic effects
- Colour gels like red to convey emotions like passion in key scenes
- Hard lighting for close ups, softer for establishing shots
Being flexible with lighting is important as we can't always control outdoor
conditions. Mixing practical and portable lights helps achieve our vision.
