- 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.
