Journal 5 - photo shoot

Today I took photographs of my performer for the digipak and the magazine advert. I managed to get a lot of photos that I could use to make my digipak and advert, which will help me decide which photo's are best to use. I will also ask my target audience the following week about the different photo's to gain their opinions too and help me form the final looks for my ancillary tasks.

These are a few photo's I took out of many:

Location: This is my performer's (friend's) back garden I used for the shoot, which provided many photo opportunities to use.

IDEA: Linking to my digipak drafts I was aware changes may be made on the photo shoot day, concerning panel images. I made a slight change with using the prop of the decorations/lights. I could only manage to get LED lights and decided to wrap the lights around the branches of the tree, with  my friend sitting in the tree. It would make the concept more interesting and appealing to the viewer. 

 As shown, my performer was placed in the tree, surrounded by the lights, whilst doing different poses. I still kept my digipak concept in mind, and using the tree with the lights is still my continued idea for the front cover, which turned out great. NOTE: I did not take a picture of my performer with the question mark, which is included in the third draft of my digipak. This was because the paper was not straight due to the wind and I could place one in editing regardless if I wanted to.

 These are a few extra images of my performer, that I have left room at the sides when photographing for text to be placed in editing. I really like these images and could potentially be used for the back cover of the digipak where the songs are listed.

 With these images, I managed to keep the idea from my digipak drafts ideas, of showing my performer with a flower, a picture of a flower and my performer beside her garden waterfall. I like how these pictures turned out and would defiantly like to incorporate at least one of these images for my final digipak.

This is a photo I took when I when location scouting and included it onto my third digipak draft idea. I think this image is visually nice and could be used to mainly link in with my setting for both the digipak and advert, as well as the music video. Hopefully I would like to use this image in my final digipak.

For the magazine advert, I really like these two images as they both clearly show a link between the digipak images, which is key as I have noticed from researching existing products. It contains the same costume, make up and setting so they would look continuous and professional.
