Initial stages of the Promotion Video

I begun taking photo's which i was planning on using for the upcoming assessment item which was the promotional video on depression. Before taking the photos i planned out how the video was going to be presented, the sequences and various shots that were going to be used. The shots consisted of long shots to give the audience the full benefit of being able to observe all the items involved in the picture as well as being able to portray the actor's depression by making them feel lonely in such a big space. Close up's was used in order to show the actors emotions and really portray to the audience the real emotions being displayed and felt. Low Shot's were taken to emphasize the actor as feeling large and positive which was used through the photos after the depression was over. 

I decided to use the sequence of showing the actor all happy, positive and feeling extremely enthused about life being in such a good place. Where it then cuts back to how they were six months before this very day, showing them in their darkest and most depressed moments. That can be signified by the various captions to further captive the viewers and allow them to feel slightly more engaged.
