4. Idea
A video which experiments with visual effects and
cinematography; portraying people as art within
their lives.
A series of major and minor issues shall be raised
– from love to death, washing up to social
occasions.
I wish there to be a major use of colours and loud
lighting, as we can see from the photograph on the
left, lighting is vitally important.
Alongside this there shall be a variation of shot types, but
close-ups shall play a large part.
There will also be a performance element, but this shall not
be the main element; nevertheless we will constantly cut
back to the pianist.
In order to achieve these aims I shall initially begin by
searching for locations and taking test photographs before I
move on to setting the actual shoot.

6. Digipack
With similar resemblance to the music video the front
cover of the digipack will be a photograph, either
experimenting with visual aesthetics or depicting a
striking image – with reference to the music video.
