I plan to use spotlighting to create a dynamic image by placing the lights on the floor I will be able to create a combination of soft imagery and strong composition with the use of shadow tones. I believe the lights will add to the quality of the live performance making my artist stand out also making her the centre of attention. Using a Steady Cam I will be able to have clear transitions and be able to move freely around my performer during the shoot, holding the camera in place will assist in minimalize camera shake.

A combination of a tripod and a Cannon 550D will create a secure position which will add a variety of compositions throughout my video.
