Photoshoot for digipak

Today we did a photoshoot for the digipak, we had to take mid shots of all of the band members from the video, we also had to take a photo of the amplifier that will be used for the back cover of the digipak. We had to make sure that the comstumes that the band members would be wearing would be casual as that is the look we are going for on the digipak and in the video, so this needs to match. The background needed to be a neautral white/cream so that we could take the background out of the equation easily on photoshop, if the background was too dark then it would be hard to remove the background and there would be a strange line around each persons head, this would make it look tacky and not professional enough for the digipak and the look we are going for.


 

The only backgroud that is different is Jacobs image as we didn't have a lot of time left with the camera and we had to get it done quickly. But the part of the wall directly behind his head is still nuetral and will be easy to take the background off of.

 
 










We told the boys to dress in casual like they would do any day of the week to college, they did this and they all dressed in a way that we hoped they would, all different, not too colourful and their hair in the typical 'boyband' way, even though the genre we are going for is Rock we wanted the boys to look casual and not too rocky as we are not wanting to make it hardcore rock we want it to be a casual rock look to go with the Rock song.

The image of the amplifier was the hardest to get just right as we couldn't lift it up or have it sitting on anything otherwise you'd see the person's hands that is holding it or the thing it is sitting on. The thing we went for was half wall/half carpet/floor that was colour is added and the neatral colour of the wall is still in it so if we need to add colour then we can. The messy look of the amp goes with the song and overall theme of the video, a messed up look for the amp shows that the boys are lazy and late like suggested in the video, so they do not have time and can't be bothered to clean it.
