Disclosure ft Sam Smith - Omen is our final song choice which we will be using to make our music video. In this video there is no narrative as you are mainly focused on the tattoo artist lady and Sam Smith , it also stays in one location where you see Sam Smith most of the time. Our video will defer from this as we have more locations shots meaning in our video you will see our artist in more than one place other than one place because in the original video you only see Sam Smith in one place. We also have a studio shot where there is a white background and you don't see that in the original because they also have people in the background or lights. However , from the original video we was influenced a bit from the beginning as you get a extreme wide shot of the location and from seeing that gave us a good idea that we should try and include that shot ourself but with a more central location with bright lights and an interesting background. Another thing that we are making different is that Sam Smith doesn't look directly at the camera where in our music video we are making the main artist look at the camera which we found out that , that was in Andrew Goodwins theory.

This is a screen shot of one of our studios shots where you can see that the main artist is looking directly at the camera and when watching the original video you don't see this throughout the video. The lighting is also brighter than the main video , even though there are many lights in the main video the whole setting scene is quite dark , whereas we have quite a brighter setting.

From our screen shot and the original video screen shot you cans see the difference straight away and that is the look we are going for as we want our artist to look straight at the camera as we feel it gets the audience more involved and attached and because it is quite an emotional song we want the audience to see the emotion in the artist face fall on other than just from the side as you can we can only see half of the emotion in Sam Smiths screenshot.
