Overall, I think that we had a successful photoshoot. We were organised beforehand due to completing a production meeting agenda/risk assessment, and we had carried out lots of research to look for inspiration. We did this research on software like Padlet, Pinterest, professional digipaks, artist websites e.g. Dua Lipa/Jessie J, and more. I believe that this really helped us to come up with our own ideas that we could use during the shoot. We produced around 300 images, giving us a great range of choice for our final images. We produced equal efforts to make this shoot as successful as possible, by all conducting individual research that we would report back to the group, and we each brought costumes, makeup, props etc that we used during the shoot.
What went well:
- We were organised before and throughout the shoot
- We communicated well, whether it was in person or over social media when planning
- Good efforts towards mise-en-scene
- A wide variety of shots were taken
- We listened to eachothers ideas and comprimised when we all had different ideas
- We set up early to avoid wasting studio time
What I would do next time:
- Include another outfit for variety/choice
- Include a wider variety of poses/facial expressions
- More extreme close-ups
- Play with lighting
- Book the studio for longer to avoid rushing
