F.L - Photoshoot Reflection

Photoshoot Reflection

After taking some photos from our filming at my house where we took some photos of the band and Eleanor performing, we decided to do another photoshoot of Eleanor. After changing our digipak concept slightly, we thought it would be appropriate to gather a new range of images.

Some of the photos we decided to take were:

• Close-ups of Eleanor's face
• Photos of props on various parts of Eleanor's body
• Close-up of Eleanor's fangs (with and without blood)

We were pleased with how the shoot went and feel we got a large range of photos to accommodate our new concept.

Although we experienced no overriding issues on set, we did find issues when reflecting on the photos after the shoot.

Some of the photos we took are shown below:

 

 

This photo would be used on the front cover. We feel the pose clearly portrays the album title of  'shocking' Miss Emerald. However, we would crop the image and have less focus on her face, and more on her lips. We would also cover some of her face with the title.
 

 

This is another idea for the front cover, we decided to get a range of different lengths and close-ups to allow ourselves the option of finding the most appropriate image for the front cover.

 

We then decided to get some close-ups of her mouth with her fangs and some blood. We decided that the blood was too low on her chin to be used - luckily, we took a range of different photos so we had enough to choose from.
 



 

Reflecting on the previous image, we feel this photo looks better aesthetically and came out better. It also shows the redness of the blood better, therefore this would be a more appropriate choice.
 



 

We then took some photos of different props on different parts of her body. We experimented with different angles and distances. Here is an example of the beads and the dress she wore in the 'night before' and 'morning after' scenes. We feel this would look good on one of the other panes, and helps elaborate on our visual style.
