These are several still images that i have taken to use on my digipack and poster as part of the promotion package for my artist. I have decided to use the artist dressed in red grey and blue as these are the key colour themes throught my video and therefore will immediatley tell the audience that they are linked to each other. In this image, Joe is looking up to represent the idea of being lost in his life and looking up 'to the heavens' to seek advice from his girlfriend that he has recently lost. By taking the shot at an upwards angle it shows the sky in the background behind Joe. This is something i decided to do so that it portrays the ideas more clearly that Joe also wants to join his girlfriend up in the sky/heaven.
The colour theme red represents the death, love and desire aspect themes of my video.
The colour grey represents how the artist in the video's life is now empty and hollow without his girlfriend around to help him through life and support him.
The coulour blue represents the 'ghostly' presence of his girlfriend, and also the fact that the sky and constellations are a key theme within the song and the narrative of the video.
I particularly like this image of the sun as it is almost symbolising the fact that the artists girlfriend was the light in his life. This image also gives off the impression that she is now in the sky looking down on him. Another theme of the video that this image supports is that Joe is constanltly searching for the constellations (stars - which only appear at night) to help him through the difficult times, as he feels as though they connect him to his girlfriend, so by showing an image of the bright sunshine and daylight it shows that at this point of time he couldn't feel further away from her.
These 2 images on the bridge are effective as they show that the artist/character from the video is searching high and low to find ways to re-connect with his girlfriend again. It also links to the theme within the video of Joe crossing over to death and leaving his life behind. The thick grey clouds in the background are sybolic of the fact that there is disturbance in the artists life and tell the audienece immediatley by one glance that something bad may happen. If i were to use these images on my promotion packages i would have to ensure to edit the brightness and contrast of them so that these aspects of the image can be clearly portrayed.
This image shows more clearly Joe looking up, and seeking the advice from his girlfriend. I have taken this image so that the clouds behind Joe represent his anger and confusion, and the clear blue area of the sky where he is looking up to represent the fact that when he finds motivation from his girlfriend things become more clear, and happier for him within his life.
This is an image i won't be using on my promotion packs as i believe that it isn't something the audience can connect with in a way that they can with the other images. Conventionally the artist is usually looking at the camera to draw the audience in and make them feel a part of it- however my resoning for having Joe with an upwards focus is because the theme of searching for the spirit of his girlfriend is a constituent feature of my video that i believe should be portrayed at all points to get the point accross clearly. This image howeve shows joe turned away and the audience can't even see his face, which blocks them out from his emotions and what is going on in his mind which is the main reson why i believe i shouldn't use it on the advertiseing poster for the album, and also the digipack.
