Photoshoot Ideas & Planning


Looking at the mood board we ha created of existing band phototshoots, it was evident that the majority of the bands and artists had the shots taken in a studio. Since this looked like a common convention, we then decided that it would be best for our photoshoot to be filmed in the same studio, where we filmed our live clips of the video. 

We originally wanted to take two of each shots, one of the band and members with the instruments and then without. This would give us enough shots to work with and would therefore make sure that we would have enough so that we could make a different album cover and magazine article. Since the bands faces would be purposely blocked out of the shot by the silhouette of effect of te shot, we did not have to worry about performance or expressions. 


We were originally going to reserve the studio for another day, just to focus on the photoshoot but then when we were in the filming studio and had all of the equipment set up, we decided to take our photoshoot there. Also the costumes on the set then matched the costumes on the cover, therefore making the links between the song and the digipak. This was another factor that influenced our decision to film on the day.
