2.
Lighting – I want it to be fairly dim, with barely any light to create an
eerie, creepy atmosphere, however I may make a contrast when
creating the final part of my article and use high lighting instead of
low lighting. Ideally I would like to use spotlights, but I am going to
try and find a good substitute instead – torches if I have to. I want to
make a striking picture, and am going to attempt to get a room
completely in darkness, with just one light e.g. A torch trained on the
focus point, perhaps even try to recreate a backlighting scene. Then I
can decide later if I want it to be monotonous or in colour.
Microphone – I may use a fake one for my models to use, particularly
my front model Karishma, who in the band I have made up, is meant
to be the lead singer anyway.
Saxophone/piano/keyboard/guitar/drum kit – if any of my models or
the music department will allow me, I would like to use these other
instruments in my photoshoot to convey the musical taste and show
the audience what they may be expecting in a track from these
artists.
Smoke machine – I would love to try and include a smoke machine (or
even just burning a match for a few minutes) and envelop my models
in a mist of smoke, whilst playing their instruments with the spotlight
on them. I think this would be amazing and very striking if I could get
it right, especially if I can catch the smoke’s movements by the
spotlights.
3. I want my models’ clothing to fit in with the
house colour scheme of black, white and dark
purple or dark green – I like how these secondary
colours go well together and I have yet to decide
which one I’m planning to use yet. I have asked
my model to bring any instrument they might
own, as well as having two sets of clothes: 1)
Casual clothes, things they feel comfortable in
for the article draft 2) Smart wear – I would like
them to dress up a bit, wearing suits and ties if
possible, a smart dress for Karishma, just to mix
it up for the pull out poster I intend to create.
Having this second set of costumes will hopefully
make mine stand out a little bit more than just
having casual costumes.
