The final image I have used on my digipak is also going to be in black and white. This contrasts with the use of colour on the front cover, connoting the idea of contrast between who people think you are and who you are, even more. The idea that the actual model is in colour, and the things that are causing the addiction are in black and white show that the person is stronger that the things that are causing a downward spiral in her life. Once again, the location is different, showing that the addiction is at it's peak and has progressed into seriousness. As there are other butts in the ash tray, it links with the idea that the addiction has become worse. As the angle of the image is straight on it connotes that the girl is looking it straight in the eye, linking with the idea that she is at the peak of it.
Reasons for not choosing to use these images in my final digipak were similar to previous. Mainly, once again the predominant reason being the use of angle. One again, i used a high angle in some shots to make it clear to the audience what was in the frame, however, after taking this from a low angle, i saw that the audience were still able to tell and figure out what was in the frame and what it meant. Like previous, the use of a high angle shot did not connote the message i wanted to, as at this point the connotations are saying that the girl now has no control with her addiction what so ever, the drugs are ruling her and have taken over her life.
