- 1. As the theme of skateboarding is part of our music video, a still photo of a second actors feed balancing on a skateboard may be used. We cannot decide if this image should officially be still or in motion. The angle we wish to use will be a close-up from the side. As this is a promotional music video, we need to feature our star’s identity. For the back cover, we may simply take a photo of the back of her head as it will match/follow the front picture shown on the cover of the album. The front of her face will be used on the front of the album cover, the back of our actress will cover the back of the album cover. The photo we took of the Camden underground sign is a strong option for being used on the cover as it reinforces the area we have set our music piece. Our front cover is the most important aspect of the album as it is the first thing seen by viewers. Like MIA’s single cover, an image of herself is used to emphasis that she is the artist, she also uses mise-en-scene to symbolise the genre she uses. The promotional image must also do the same, we are planning on doing a photoshoot to choose the best image. Graffiti is seen throughout our piece as we believe it represents self expression and the freedom of youth. If we use an image of street art, this may interest a wider audience “Sometimes I think sittin’ on trains, every stop I get to I’m clocking that game”. Showing trains will clearly reference this lyric in the song.
