Today we did the photo shoot for our digipak with the intention of taking a wide range of photos so as we could narrow it down to four final images to be used on the CD cover, insides and back cover.
First we had to get the actor/model ready for the shoot, so we applied normal make up (as most of it wouldn't be seen!) and backcombed her hair which gave it more volume and energy. We then lightly splatted paint at her face. We were aiming to spread it diagonally from one side to the other - like a gradient - and use it sparingly, as less was definitely more in this case.
We shot this in the dark room which had black walls. We set up a tripod, mounted the camera and then attached the LED spotlight we would be using as our light source.
We turned off the lights and got started, asking the actor to do a variety of different poses so that we would have a large choice to choose from. The shot angles ranged from a head and shoulders close up to extreme close ups of her eye.
Overall, the photo shoot was very successful and we took more photos than we needed which enabled us to have a wide range of choice when choosing the four images. We now have one week to edit all of our photos as our deadline is in a week's time.
