Photoshoot Planning

On this page I will be explaining what I intend to do when I do my photoshoot. When i get my photos from my photoshoot it will not only be for my photoshoot but i will also be taking shots I have taken to use in my Digipack and my music video advert as this it will be easier to take these shots at the same time and will be time efficient for myself. What I intend to do with my photoshoot is have several individual shots of each member of the band, in the photo of Peter (The singer) I would like to have a picture of he from the side whist he is holding the microphone with the drums behind him but edit the camera lens so that the drums are blurred. i would also use use a spotlight to emphasise on Peter so that would put less emphasis on the drums. I would also put the name of the song where the blurred drums are, I will do this by using photoshop to put the text over the top. I would also like to do the same shot of Peter doing this but facing the camera.

As for jake (the drummer of the band) I would like to take a shot of him with a drum stick in his mouth with his hood up I would like to do this as it would look good as part of a digipack for the band, I could also use this "drum stick in the mouth idea" to do shot where he appears to be writing song lyrics whist doing this. To do this i use a spot light in him and do a close up shot of the thought he is putting into writing the lyrics. I would also like to do a shot where he is leaning against his drum set and the drum stick is in midair and jake is about to catch it i would use lighting from the side of jake and use a medium shot here.

The idea I had for Jerome (the guitarist of the band) would be have a picture of him playing the guitar and have lighting coming from right to left, I believe this would make a more professional look for the digipack. I will also have a shot of him stood up playing in front of a microphone to show him doing backing lyrics this shot will be a close up.

For the bassist (Alex) I would just like to take several different shots of him, mostly without the his bass as if I have all the band playing their instrument it will not show much creativity and will not look like I have put much thought into the photoshoot as everyone will just basically be doing the same thing.
