digi-pack photos

These are some of the pictures we took for our digi-pack on a shoot with the artist. We deliberately took thought in the mise-    en-scene within these pictures especially within the lighting and costume. For our costume we wanted to fit with our star persona therefore the idea of the white blouse was to connote her purity and innocence, along with the birds to connote a natural approach also. We made the artist have her hair down to connote femininity with natural and little make to show she is down to earth and creating a positive image to our audience and not promoting how the audience think they should look. We kept our setting simple with a white background as we wanted lots of close-ups and this meant the white background would be easy to edit on. We also wanted to keep the setting as bright as possible along with the lights to create this positive ‘good girl’ star persona approach. The lighting used was a large sheeted light to the side of the artist and a torch that reflected onto a gold reflector to give the images the glowing effect.

              
The top and bottom left pictures show the setting with the mid/long shot. This was to show a quirky side and to make the artist more relatable to her audience as you feel as though you are more in touch with her and with her within these images. We choose the bottom left picture as our cover because it showed this quirky side which linked to our video. There is some mystery behind the picture which also fits with our video as the artist isn’t shown in the video till the chorus. We choose this image as it stands out and would look very effective and intriguing to our audience. We also decided on a few side profile images. This was also the keep the continuity as these profiles can be intriguing and quirky as you can’t see the face straight on. Also the facial expressions look thoughtful and almost dreamlike which fits in with our music video with the cartoon clouds and in the performance when she is looking up a number of times.
