Digipak: Photoshoot Plan

In order to achieve the best Digipak we can, we began to plan and schedule a photoshoot, which would allow us to take different photos for our digipak. We are planning to do this on 25th and 26th January, as we didn't feel we could complete the shoot over one day. This means we can then effectively present two different characters, one looking natural with the white dress on, the other looking more false with makeup and accentuated accessories.

These were the shots we want to take:

- one side of face for each character: innocent and menacing, can split screen them in editing

- back to back of each character

- side profile of both characters

- back of both characters, can split screen them in editing

- close up of eyes open and shut

- wide angled shot to show character in relation to surroundings

- wide angle to show costume

We also took inspiration from a photo of Dua Lipa that had a colourful background as contrast to the darker clothing she was wearing. We also liked the use of accessories and the subject's pose in this photograph, and have been using it as inspiration to design our other images.

We plan to do a similar shot to spread over the two inside panels, something that contrasts yet fits with the black and white theme of our digipak.

Our initial photos to use were just the face of our artist, but after a discussion we decided to change it slightly and have the two sides of DUPLICITY back to back; one looking up the other looking at the camera. Having the manic side making eye contact with the camera gives it that more intense and slightly uncomfortable feeling of the person staring right at you. As though the manic side is challenging the person looking at the picture to look away first, an act of dominance and control. The innocent side looking away shows a more submissive and vulnerable side to the artist, making them seem shy and lacking the confidence and challenging nature of the manic.
