Photoshoot (first attempt)

 
 

This was our first photoshoot which did go down according to plan and was quite successful even though we ran late of schedule, however we were able to get many shots that were satisfactory to me and my group members and were capable of being used for our CD digipak and Advert.
Most of our images we purely based on geting the point across of the main storyline of our music video, unfaithfulness , as both partners have cheated on eachother but the female charchter has only done it in order to get revenge. This is why we have our female charcter leaning over on to the male one as he is known to be 'cocky' so knows he can get all the women on him, which is why he has direct eye contact with the camera, showing hes confident, as the female charachter looks straight at him. In the other picture that we have used for the poster the point of havung her lean over onto him is to show shes trying to make up to him as she had cheated on him back but the male character still keeps his head high but doesnt want eye contact with her, therefore is still in direct contact with the audience, so is looking straight at the camera, this cannotes that he may not want to forgive her or give her another chance for what shes done, even though he was in the wrong himslef. The same purpose is used behind the image where hes on the sofa and shes holding his hand, but because theyr both wrong none of have eye contact with the camera in these images as theyr are indenial and know what they have one it wrong and dont want to admit it.
the image wherre they have theyr hands drifting away was suppose to be a like a scene from the actualy music video itself, to hint out that they would both go theyr own ways.
The cause for the argument in the relationship starting were mainly because it was triggered by the male characther therefore thats why we chose for him to hold his girlfreind whilst she tried to walk away as if anything only he could make it up to her and ask her for a second chance and bring her back.
Both our models have the dark side to them which is why we chose for the background to be black as it shows the time of their relationship their going through, however it also represents power which is why the male character is holding her hand tight but the female is just hanging on to it. It also represents the hard times their having to face which is why the lighting is so dull, especially from the female side as it shows she may just be about to walk out the frame.
The solo pictures did come out really well but we didnt feel the need to use them as we thought to use the ones of them together would be better in terms of portraying the storyline to our music video. Also in our case studies Jay Sean had used his mistress album with him alone looking away from the camera with his mistress in the background, but the lighting was lit quite dull so you were only able to see a feminine siloutte, which comes across as a 'sex object'. we tried to reinforce this which is why we have our female charachter in a fitted dress and red lipstick, so it outlines her siloutte, but from her side she may only be doin this to show her partner that she can be just as good as any other mistress that he would run to and it does not give him a reason to go off with another women.
