Photo shoot Images

Below are some images from my photoshoot which I intend to use in my production, one for my trailer and one for my magazine cover. I have used different shot types to help my target audience to decide on the best picture in their opinion from the shoot for my trailer and for my magazine cover. For everyone of my rough drafts I have used a plain brick-like background, like I intended based on my photo shoot plans, the plain background makes the audience concentrate more on the main character, and what he is doing, so codes and conventions are shown to the audience much more effectively. In every photo, the main character is seen with a baseball bat, plimsoles, jeans and wearing a hoodie, just like I intended based on my prop and costume planning post. The use of mise-en-scene through the use of props and costume help show the genre and help the audience presume roughly what the film is about, persuade them to go and

see it.

Photo shoot Picture - 1.

My first draft is a medium close-up, I firstly decided to produce this shot because it is a good

shot to show facial expressions, we see the character looking cocky with his head slightly tilted back implying that he believes he has more power than other people. The picture on the left is without make-up whilst the one on the right is the same picture but with make-up.

Photo shoot Picture-2

This is the best shot out of the five to show the costume of the character due to it is a wide shot, so shows the whole costume. This shot will be good for a magazine cover because there is a lot of space either side of the character which could be used for sell lines to help advertise the magazine.

Photo shoot Picture-3
Another wide shot, this one is different because it is an action shot, the character is actually doing something, rather than standing and posing, this is useful because it produces a more striking, dramatic shot, that will catch the audiences eye more effectively whether it was on a magazine cover of a film poster.

Photo shoot Picture-4

Another wide shot that could be used for a magazine front cover, the facial expressions on the character in this shot are very good, they help show that he is very rude and doesn't stand for any rubbish, this shot is the best at showing the rough urban location which i am showing to show in my production as well.

Audience Feedback - I asked 30 people in my target audience to pick their favourite out of the four pictures from my photo shoot. The fourth picture was the most popular with 12 out of the 30 votes whilst the third picture was in song with 8 votes, this has shown me that the audience like to see wide shots better than mainly any others, this has helped me because it has shown me that I will include at least one picture in my production with a wide shot.
