Tomorrow I will be doing the photoshoot for my ancillary texts. Due to the high demand for the green room at the moment, I am going to use it after college because by that time the majority of people will have gone home, making it easier to get the shoot done and removing any pressure of having to rush. I have organised it with Emily and she is free which is really lucky considering it is such late notice, so I am very grateful that she is doing this for me. The outfit she will be wearing is her black velvet playsuit, black tights and boots. I will be styling her with her hair down, wavy and slightly messy, and she will have a natural style complexion with flicked eyeliner and dark red lipstick. The look is similar to ones within the music video to create continuity. I will also be bringing props that feature within the video which I will photograph and be using for the different sides of the digipak.
Plan/Checklist:
- List of possible poses for Emily
- Red lipstick
- Black eyeliner
- Hair grips
- Lemons
- Balloons
- Sharpie pen
- Heart shaped glasses
- Ketchup & BBQ Sauce
- Converse

Actual Photoshoot
Shoot Diary
Overall I am very pleased with how the shoot went today, some of the pictures have turned out really well and I will definitely be using them on my ancillary texts. Luckily there was cameras and tripods free for the day, and no one else was in need of using the green room, so that was a massive relief. I used an Olympus SP-720UZ camera and a smaller tripod than the ones I used for filming, as this was more appropriate for the style shoot I was doing. When I got to the green room I started to prepare the props and set up lighting whilst Emily got ready, then I added finishing touches to her hair and makeup. The only issues I really had was in relation to the balloons I was using as props. They proved difficult to blow up and tie, but after a lot of attempts we finally managed to get enough blown up ready for the pictures. I initially wanted to have pictures of the balloons mid-air but I decided this wasn't going to work after multiple attempts, using every method I could think of, so I tried various shots of the balloons instead. I also tried lots of different ideas using the props I had brought, which all link with aspects of the video (creating continuity), some of which I came up with on the spot, and I actually found that these ideas tended to work best. Therefore, I am happy with the photos I took today and I will start experimenting with them and see which work best for my products.
