Shotlist for digipak

Our digipak will require real images that we have taken ourselves. This means that I need to create a shotlist for the images that will be used.

The digipak consists of 6 panels so each panel will require a different shot. We are also using some black backgrounds which will not distract from the text of the tracklist and record labels etc.



This is an example of the sort of image we will be taking. I think it is best to take a photograph of the forest in which we are filming so the locations connect and then our products will also connect.



Another example of the image we want to use is our star in the middle of the forest, our idea is to shoot it from behind so that you cannot see his face, this adds to the enigma, ambiguity and mystery of the digipak.

Shotlist

1st shot: The first shot will be of the forest in an establishing shot. This is for the back cover and potentially some of the inside of the digipak.

2nd shot: The second shot will be of our actor standing in the woods with his back to the camera. This will be an establishing shot also because his whole body will be in the image.

3rd shot: Another idea we had was a close up of our actor but with shadowing on his face for the front cover. We thought of this because it is something different so we have options to choose from. We could do this with a torch.

4th shot: We are going to shoot a distorted image of just our actors body parts separately and then put them together in different places of the image. This will also require photoshop but it is a good idea for a front cover because it is ambiguous as well.

5th: The final shot we could use is the close up of a tree, perhaps from a low angle to show the tree progressing up to the leaves. The low angle gives a distorted feel to the shot and connects with our theme.

This shotlist will be useful when taking the photos for the digipak. I will have this with me when shooting the digipak for guidance.
