Publicity Shots

 For our publicity shots we are going to take lots of pictures during our shoot as we feel that these will be most synergistic with our album release. We are going to take both shots of the band and single shots of Georgie as well as the DJs together. 
 

We would like to take shots like the Paramore promo shot above as this is a really nice shot and creates a serious band image while keeping with the powder paint theme.
We would also like to take some more natural and playful shots like the photo below as we feel that this will connote the relationship between our artist incredibly well. This is also in keeping with our festival style and friendly feel that we would like to create. The two are quite different but show the differing sides to our artist.

As well as the paint fight scene, we would like to try some promo shots with the balloon scene, especially with the static of the balloons. We are going to do this as again it is in keeping with the friendly and playful artist image we are going for, while being interesting and exciting for the audience.

In addition to these shots, we are going to take some shots of Georgie alone. We have more complex ideas for these, based around the following inspirations:

We really like the way in which the layers of photos creates a sense of long exposure. These work particularly well in the Ellie Goulding promo shots and we would like to use shots like these for our promo shots of Georgie.

Finally, we would like to do some more basic shots with the DJs messing around together, again with their playful and friendly nature emphasised. Despite being incredibly simple, these shots work really well in the above pictures of Disclosure; a big artist inspiration for us.

The promo shots will be used on our website. Visuals are incredibly important on websites and so it is crucial that we use these to create our intended artist image. As according to Richard Dyer's 'star' theory, we want to focus on the image of our artist according to character and personality. Dyer says that the 'star' begins as a 'real' human, being very much of their time and generation. Therefore, the members of our band are going to be represented as fun and relateable; realistic presentations of what the audience expect. However, they will also have the 'star' side which we will bring out by using more serious and constructed publicity shots. This is what Disclosure do well, so we would like to achieve a similar impact.
