For panels 2 and 3 I was considering using these screenshots from the music video. These images would have been appropriate as they would have reinforced the running theme of conflict and binary opposition between higher and lower social classes that is constantly referenced throughout the music video. However, I decided against using these images due to the quality of the screenshots. The shots themselves simply aren't sharp enough and this is even more apparent when compared to actual photographs. Despite this, I edited both of the screenshots in Photoshop in order to see if they could be improved through colour correction, sharpening and increasing the contrast amongst other effects. I was still unsatisfied and so decided to replace these panels with other photographs.
This was another idea for panel 3, which was to be opposite a photograph of a block of flats. I decided not to use the image for reasons similar to the previous two images in the way that the screenshot quality simply wasn't high enough. This left an overall aesthetic that didn't appear professional or up to standards for an album cover.
This was to be used on panel 2 opposite the screenshot of the J.P Morgan building. I decided not to use this photograph for several reasons; seeing as the screenshot of the other building wouldn't work, it would be harder to find a contrasting image. I did go out and take some photographs of sleek glass buildings in Norwich in an attempt to create a conflicting image, however, it occurred to me that the buildings didn't fit in with the rest of the images. Therefore I decided to use more images of the actor in order to continue with a stronger theme.
