Task 24- Photo Shoot Planning

The majority of my images will include my performance actor (Ryan) as he will front the brand as a solo artist. I will stress the importance and significance of his role as a solo artist by using a range of close ups and mid shots, with the focus of the Digipak being him. When taking shots, I will try to include some location shots, showing a slightly edgier and urban side. For example, an image like this (captured at our location visit):


On the photoshoot, I would like to capture the images at our video location for the narrative, I feel this would link the artist to the song. In addition, I think that outside would be better for the photos as the lighting is natural and more likely to look to a professional standard. However, I will take my opportunity at the studio to take a picture(s) of:
Close Up of the artist
Over the shoulder 
Long Shot
Mid shot (leaning to one side) to allow for text on the digipak
Mid shot from the back and front (link this to the rear and back cover)
In the studio I will also adjust the LED Lighting, this would give this effect:



Main Plan- Out of Studio


Panel One- Front Cover
 On the front panel, I will need to show my artist. I think a medium shot would be appropriate for this, as my location would also be aesthetically pleasing and suit the genre. From my research, this is the rather conventional so I think it will add realism to the cover. However, I could also use a close up, but I feel this may be too close and the image would not offer me much option to manipulate.
Costume- Indie styled clothing, predominately blacks and possibly a coloured track top (which is used in the video)
Location- Out of studio- likely to be severn beach with a graffiti background
Angle- I will take with no angle and a slight low angle to see which would look the best.





Panel Two-

This panel would be positioned inside the main digipak. From my research, I have seen that these often just contain the artist in a more relaxed/natural location. I would like to picture my artist sat on an amp and looking down in a medium/wide shot. This is likely to be taken inside as moving an ampifilier which I do not own to an outside location may not be the easiest to gain permission for.
Costume- Same as panel one- indie styled clothing
Location- In a Studio
Angle- likely to be flat, low angle will be taken just incase this looks more suitable
Props- Drum kit, Amp


Panel Three- (Back Cover)

As this would contain text, the image needs to be clear in places so it can easily be seen etc. I would like this panel to contain either a item (possibly bottle) or the artist leaning to one side- allowing space for the text. The shot is likely to be a long shot to allow this space, with the performance actor positioned to the right
Costume- Same as the other panels (Indie styled clothing)
Location- for item (on the street floor) for actor (leaning a the wall)
Angle- no angle



Panel Four- CD Panel

I have already practiced this panel (see below) and would like to include the cracked CD in my design. Behind the CD, I may include a location shot (from severn beach or studio) to fill the edges which the CD does not cover.
Costume- N/A
Location- Severn Beach or Studio
Angle- High angle for location wide shot
Props- Broken CD




Panel Five-

I would like to have one panel of the digipak purely of an location shot. Like the image at the top of this post, I would like to use a sightly urban shot to convey the Indie genre. I will take a selection of shots to decide which is most suitable.
Costume-N/A
Location- Severn Beach
Angle- will test with a variety of angles including Low angle/High/POV
Props- N/A


Panel Six-

I will reverse the previous mid shot and show the character from behind. This will show his looking into the distance. As Severn Beach contains may rocks and a seafront, I could also use an over the shoulder shot of him looking into the distance. I have seen in previous digipaks that a character jumping and moving dynamically can also look good. Therefore, this panel will be trialled and I will decide at a latter date, one i have a variety of shots, which one I would like to select
Costume- Indie styled
Location- Severn Beach, may also test some in studio
Angle- test a variety
Props- If in studio, may use mic and stand
