Concept Photos

 These are my Concept Photos and how  they bring out the meaning of my Project

These are my concept photos and they help visually express the meaning behind my project COMA. The main idea of the project is to represent the feeling of emotional numbness and the constant mental struggle that comes with overthinking and anxiety, which connects to the song Numb Little Bug.

In these photos the character is shown sitting alone in a quiet space, which helps create a sense of isolation. The body language and facial expression are intentionally calm and distant to represent the feeling of being emotionally disconnected, almost like being stuck in a mental state where you cannot fully feel or react to what is happening around you. This reflects the idea of being in a “coma” metaphorically, where someone is physically present but mentally trapped in their own thoughts.

The colour grading of the image uses cool and slightly desaturated tones. This was done to create a cold and heavy atmosphere that reflects the emotional theme of the project. The lighting coming through the curtains also creates soft shadows, which adds to the feeling of loneliness and introspection.

The costume and makeup in the first picture  also help support the concept. The soft oversized clothing represents vulnerability, while the darker layers and dark makeup symbolise the emotional weight and exhaustion caused by overthinking. Together these elements visually represent the contrast between how someone may appear on the outside and what they are experiencing internally.

The second picture, with natural clothes, minimal makeup, and warm tones, creates a calmer and more approachable mood. It represents moments of simplicity or clarity, showing the side of someone that feels more grounded or at peace.

Overall, these concept photos help establish the mood, character, and emotional meaning of my project. They visually introduce the themes of numbness, isolation, and internal struggle that are explored throughout the music video and the rest of the digipak project.

Genre and Mood exploration

 Here, I aimed to explore the genre and mood of similar songs to examine how the music video concept has been developed, and to investigate how the music video's narrative (the story) relates to the song's actual theme. The main theme and genre of my choice of song (Numb little bug )    Main theme - mentalillness, post liminal sad but beautiful Genre - Indie pop Some songs that depict a similar concept to the post-liminal theme and the genre of indie pop Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine Heather by Connan Gray Ceiling By Lizzy McAlapine  Theme - Grief and blurred memory after a breakup Genre - Indie pop  The main meaning of the song  can be interpreted in two ways: as a lingering feeling of a broken relationship or as the aftermath of an imagined scenario. The song can be taken as an understanding of the real-world situation of a breakup, even though the relationship wasn't real. How does the song lyric match the post-liminal concept?  First chorus - The ch...

Behind the scenes

 Here I'll show the behind-the-scenes of me filming my music video Here the camera was not the actors face is not in the middle of the screen so the shot was not right Here the camera was not the actor's face was not in the middle of the screen so the shot was not right I  first wanted to take the shot where the dog was sitting beside her, but it was a failure because it did not show any interest, so we took the shot with the dog sitting down and looking up Small mistake She did not look angry enough in this shot  I did not include this clip in the last MV It was actually a very fun experience filming the MV, but we also had an annoying number of mistakes which we had to correct and move forward. These show the wrong takes and the bloopers of filming (behind the scenes)

Practicing Photography of backgrounds(locations)

 Here I will be practicing some photography with different backgrounds that bring out different moods Places Melancholy Place - A lane with houses This picture feels calm but a little lonely. The empty stone road and quiet houses make it seem peaceful, like no one is around. The dark clouds with bits of blue sky give it a dramatic feeling, like rain might come soon. It feels calm, quiet, and a little sad in a nice way. Scenes to film in this background  (empty road and cloudy sky) can be used for a dramatic walking away scene, someone feeling lonely or lost. it can also be for a new beginning scene like someone coming to a new town. it’s good for a quiet talking moment between two characters or just before a storm to make it feel suspenseful. Serenity Place - A tea cultivation This background gives a very peaceful and calming feeling. The green tea bushes in the front with the mountains in the distance make it feel natural and quiet. The orange and pink sunset adds a warm, dre...
