Photo Shoot. Front Cover.
If I am interviewingabandof 2 or more,I wouldgo forthis
structure due to each of themgettinga piece of the pie onthe
mainimage.Equal publicity.Also,givesthe audience more of
an ideaof what the whole bandlooklike andeachindividual
looksequal,apartfromthe main singerhasto be inthe
middle forobviousreason,because he willbe the most
recognisable andfirsttolookat onstage.
If I am interviewingasoloartist,thiswouldbe the inspiration
for the shotI woulduse due to the audience gettingafull
image of the face of the artist,again,mainlyformore
publicityandtomake the artist become more recognisable.
Alsoaddsa sense of professionalismdue toKERRANGusing
thiskindof shot before,andwiththatbeingsucha high
profile rockmagazine,willmake mine lookalotmore
professional.
