Photo Shoot
The reason for us taking pictures was to put in our digipak which would give the buyers a sense that they have more of a connection with the band as they can see where we filmed the artist. This can be seen as we have used pictures from the locations that we have filmed at to give our digipak a more personal feel rather than a random exotic location and London is relatable for many people as many live around the surrounding area. While we were filming we took a variety of pictures so we can keep the intrest of the audience on the digipak and to show them the range of locations of where we filmed, this will also promote the artist and his songs as we can see him singing on location. This will also bring a connection with the artist and audience as they may have been to the same location as we have used well known areas.

I have taken this picture to use on the 4th panel of my digipak as it shows the location we were filming at which was the West Indian Quay with Canary Wharf in the background. This will show one of the main places that we filmed and I have used this image as it is one that only appears for a very short time in the video but I felt it was visually very impressive and deserved to be in my digipak. Furthermore it is instanly recognisable which makes it easy for the audience to relate to as the location has been visited by many people and they may recognise the place. This image would be subversive of our genre of psychedelic rock as a conventional location would be a very exotic location such as a beach , a dessert or a distant country. However we have used a iconic place in London that is not very exotic however it is just as impressive with the skyscrapers and fountains, so we have used a man made place instead of a more natural location. Furthermore many people have been to our location whereas a conventional location would be one in which few people have been before to bring new excitiment. I believe the best thing about the image is that it has so many things inside it with the fountains , huge skyscrapers alongside the bright lights and the clouds. This makes the picture very intresting and keep you focused as there is so much to look at. The main way that the image builds a relationship is by using an iconic location and area , which many people have been to and so they have been to the same place as the artist.
I have taken this picture to give the audience a clear idea of what the artist looks like which helps with identifying him. This will help with the recognition of the artist and make him more well known to his audience , which makes this image one of the most important. This will appear on the second panel of the digipak so when a buyer opens the digipak this will be one of the first images that they see. This can be seen as mainly subverisve with the genre of psychadelic rock, this is because most of the artist in the genre keep their faces well hidden and use other people in their images. They also often do not use as plain an image as I am but I feel that this would be more mainstream and attract a bigger audience. If we were to make all images conventional then the digipak may be too extreme and possibly put people. I think the best thing about this image is that the audience get to see the artist which will help them relate to him much better than with a mysterious person. This will make them bigger fans as they can actually idenitfy who the artist that they like is, however as he is still not looking at the camera it still brings a sense of distance between him and the audience.
This image was taken outside the main entrance to Liverpool Street station and shows the gerkin and many other buildings. I have taken this picture as it is the location where the artist gets into London and starts walking around, and where most of the artists time is spent. I will use this on the 5th panel of the digipak as it has only one famous sight and maybe not as impressive as some of the other images which we have taken. Yet I belive it has significance as it is the place where the artsist journey starts in London. This image is again subversive as it does not include and exotic location or any extreme editing, however it could be seen as slightly conventional with the different lights which we can see in the image such as them being bright up close and dimmer further back. What I like about this image is that there are lots of things happening in the shot paticulary the people , there are people walking from the station, to thetation , people going shopping, people eating. This brings activity to the shot which would otherwise have been plain and boring which would make the image a waste for the digipak.This will help the relationship between the artist and the audience as the image is taken as though someone is looking on at location. This brings a connection as the artist and audience are seeing the same thing when he leaves the station.

I found taking the pictures relativly easy as we took them whilst we were filming so we did not need to go back to any locations to take more pictures. Furthermore we took many pictures which would then allow us to pick the best and then use them , rather than taking pictures and finding out that they were no good. The only problem that we had with the pictures were that some of them were blurry and unclear at night, which we could not help as we had no better camera available and had to use our phones.
The pictures which we have taken represnt our artist as very distant as none of the images have people close to him or have very clear faces of the other people. However we do see him as relativly normal otherwise which makes him easier for the audience to relate to rather than a unlikeable strange person.
As individuals we have made our own advert and digipaks with our own ideas and thoughts being put into them. We will then bring all the ideas together and create an overall digipak and advert which will have a combination of ideas from all of us , which we will then brainstorm and put them into one. We will then see if we would like to change anything to improve them and then we will have our final finished product for our music video.
