Photoshoot Simalrities

Looking at out photoshoot you can see simalirities to existing band photos.
This includes the way in which the band members are positioned and the sort of clothing that they wear.

This shows Matt Bellamy the lead singer of Muse as being the centre of the image




The killers black and white photo

 


The Friendly Fires




Noah and the Whale




Coldplay



All of these photo use mid-shot or close-ups, which we have incorporated into our photos we took of the band.


This particular image uses the rule of thirds thus making
space to place
text or information that is needed

 

This image shows Charlie or the lead singer as being the dominent character
as he is in the centre of the image  

This is a close-up of the band with the lead singer again being the centre of
the image. Charlie's eyes engage with the audience.

As you can see the images we took are similar to existing Muse and band photos in the cases of lighting, the way in which the band are positioned and style of photography. Genre gratification is used  as it looks at what existing fans of Indie bands already like, we have used this and created our product. This makes audeiences want to purchase our product as it relates to existing products.

22nd February:Band Photoshoot

Today at lunchtime the group did a band photoshoot , this included members of the ban Charlie Morgan, Nick Bereen, and Luke Desbrough. Me , Antalia, Tayo and Nick were present at the shoot. We used a digital camera and the green screen. Here are some picture I took using my iPod and the picture that were taken of the band.

Here are what the pictures look like from the digital camera

.

We used a combination of shot during the shoot including close-ups, mid-shots,and side on shots. We also experimented with using the dark screen and light screen to see where the pictures came out most effective, artifivail lighting was used to cause the effect of the band members faces being darker on one side. I think the pictures look most effective using the dark screen with artificial light personally. I will use some of these pictures in my ancillary task.



Ancillary task:T-shirt

 Here are some ideas for a t-shirt and hoodie to go with our promotional package. I first started out by finding some templates for hoodies and t-shirts on Google. After this I drew some designs onto the templates. Although some of the designs are simplistic I feel they are effective. Here are the hand drawn designs.

After doing my hand drawn designs I used Adobe Photoshop to make computerised versions of my designs. Firstly I coloured them purple and black which is the colours the group has decided to go for with our promotional opackage items. After colouring the templates I added design. I ad to do the simple designs as the other were a bit too complicated to do.
