Shoot - 29th November - Publicity Shots

On the last shoot we also took publicity shots for the 90s, 50s and the band. I edited the chosen photos in Photoshop to put on the website.

For the 90s, we used the boom box as a prop to convey the era, as it is a clear reference. We also did some 'fun' couple shots, so to visually portray the theme of our video - love.

For the 50s, we again used the props to reference the era; we also did individual shots of both Jacob and myself, as well as the 'couple' photos to portray the theme of our video. 

For the band publicity shots, we used a different colour background for variety between shots. Again, we did individual and band poses, continuing to convey the band image of being innocent and fun; for example, the photo on the right, where the band is messing around with one member looking confused and fond, or the image on the right, where Brandon is peeking over Jacob's shoulder.

For example, this photo connotes innocence, as Jacob looks young and slightly cheeky. This would appeal to parents of younger audience members, as the band are positive role models.

The image on the left is unedited, and the image on the right is edited - I increased the vibrance and contrast of the shot so as to make the colours richer, and to make the photos seem more professional and clean. I also enhanced the background colour, to accentuate the variety between shots.

Again, the image on the left is unedited, and the image on the right is edited - I again enhanced vibrancy of colours and the contrast to give the image a more professional, clean look. I also removed the border between the cyclorama and the floor, to make the image cleaner. We used a different colour again for variety between shots so it is more visually interesting for the audience members.

We did poses such as the ones above as they connote the more quirky side of the band, whilst also showing the band dynamic and relationships - we wanted it to be clear that the band worked well together and could have fun.

We also did poses like this to add variety to the shoot.
