During last week our group shot publicity photographs for three different genres, soul, rock and pop music - However, we focused mainly on Soul music as that is our chosen genre for our own music video. Later on, I compiled the above video so I could watch and evaluate our first efforts at taking a promotional photograph for a music artist.
What I think went well...
- I think we effectively managed to take quite a few successful publicity photographs given the fact we only had just under an hour to compose and take them.
- I think we adapted our own image and the way we took a photo to adhere to the conventions of the genre effectively which shows our genre research has been successful and we've learned a lot from it.
- This practice allowed us to learn how to take a good shot which we can reproduce in our real publicity photo shooting.
- We experimented with a wide range of different shot types. [Shown in the image below]
What I think we could have done better...
- Spent more time preparing beforehand to take into account different locations and lighting etc as we didn't have much time to take this into consideration this time round.
- We could have spent more time building an artist image to create a 'brand image' to make our artist recognisable rather than completely conventional to the genre.
- Focused more on learning about other genres in even more detail.
