On the 1st of November 2010 our group had a meeting to discuss the different types of photography we would each need to complete our ancillary tasks. We decided that we would book out a camera and tripod for Friday 12th of November. On this day we will visit a range of different locations including a train station and woods before returning to school to use both the green and white screens.
Between now and Wednesday each member of the group is going to plan the photographs they need to be taken considering costumes, lighting and locations. I will first start looking at the research i have collected on concert tickets, band t-shirts and artists websites to put together ideas for the shoot. I decided that I would research into Vanessa Carlton to look at her styling and different poses which I could re-create, and below are the images I found.
By researching to existing Photography of Vanessa Carlton I have been able to see that she has a feminist styling with both a 'girlie' and Gothic theme. Her poses are shuttle and her make up naturalistic which I will reflect in my photography. Knowing her target audience also reinforces her styling as her target audience is teenagers and young adults. I have also decided that one of the location I would like to have Melissa's (who is playing Vanessa Carlton in out music video) picture taken will be in the woods as this location has been used by Vanessa in a verity of ways. I would also like to take images of Melissa in some of the locations featured in the music video which would include the woods but also places like Erith pier as in Vanessa photographs she shows the piano which is the focus of her music video in her images.
Regarding my ancillary tasks pacifically I would like to capture an image in one of the locations in which Melissa is in the left of the shot with the rest of the shot having space to the right hand side. I have decided that I would like to capture an image like this as I think it would be suitable for one on my concert ticket designs. I would also like to use the green and white screens to create suitable Photography for the concert ticket I wish to take as images taken this way are commonly used on concert T-shirts. As well as using the green screen to create am image for my other concert ticket design so the two designs have different types of images from which i can gain feedback on and then decide which type of image is stronger. I feel that I have undertaken strong research on both concert tickets and T-shirts i know what types of image's I need to create.
Because i fell that I have not specifically looked in detail at the types of photography used within the website I have looked into existing photography of other artists and fan websites an Vanessa Carlton's s currently being re-designed and bellow is what I have found.
On Friday the 12th of November my group visited different locations and used a range of technology to start taking our principle photography for our ancillary tasks. I was responsible for the hiring and collecting of the equipment needed and bringing suitable make up for the shoot. We started off by choosing appropriate make up, accessories and costumes for our model. (Melissa). As each member of the group had undertaken research and planned the images they wished to take and in what locations we came up with a list of different locations to visit. Bellow is the list of location we came up with as a group.
Franks Park Woods
A Cafe
A set of concrete Steps
Erith Pier
Erith Train station
After we had visited these locations we returned to school where I had booked the Green Screen and we had organised to have a microphone and stand.
These are a selection of images taken on this day:
Overall the day was very successful as we created most of the images each group member wanted to. As a group we will arrange another date for further Photography, but for now I can review the images taken and begin the creation of my ancillary tasks.
