Evaluation

I felt that I did a good job with the music photography layouts.
If I could go back and do it all again, I think that I would have taken more images other than some of the location shots that I did. This was mainly because I was design producer so was needed in other places when the shoots were going on, but I would have liked to try to do something different and creative had I had a real opportunity to take some studio images. The images that Lucy took were what we were hoping for, and there was a number of them that I wanted to use for my layouts. In the end I went for one where the band were messing about with the microphone and being natural, and another one I took on location.
In regards to the text I used the interviews Jess recorded to pick out key points and put them on the layouts. I used a quote to put in the bottom left corner of the location layout, and I used information about the band for the studio layout. For the studio layout I wanted it to be simple, and not too colourful, which I stuck to, and kept the colours red and black and white to draw the audiences attention to the text and the information about the band. The location layout I wanted to be colourful, as the area itself was colourful, so I decided to put a glow around the text to draw attention to it. The quote itself was one that made me laugh, and I felt that it summed up the energy and laid-back nature of the band itself.

Shooting Schedule

After talking to the band we decided that we would use Wednesday 19th January as a location shoot. This will be where we shoot the band in the forest using different angles and shots to get the type of shot the band wanted. We decided we would meet in the Atruim at half 10, and then drive to the forest together once we had chatted about the style of shots.
On Wednesday 26th January we then booked the studio for our studio shots. This started at half 1, and ended at 4.
