Photoshoot Plan

Make-up:

Will not be necessary as the shoot will not need to feature the model's face.

Costume:

The shoot is focusing on the mystery surrounding a character within the film. Considering that this character is not immediately associated with the more criminal aspects of the film, he will be dressed with casual clothing. This shoot will be more of a character-focused issue, much like Empire's Star Wars:The Force Awakens character issues (2015), reflecting on different character aspects through their appearance causing the audience to read the article in order to find out more about the film and the character's role within the film.

Lighting:

In order to reflect the darker tones of the film and in order to replicate the professional look of a magazine shoot, I will use low lighting with a black background. I may even use one light in order to cast more shadows within the image and blend with the background seamlessly. My inspiration for this shoot's lighting came from Empire magazine's Godfather tribute. I feel that it perfectly reflects serious tones while creating striking imagery through simple effects.

Shot Types:

I like the composition within this cover, as it remains very simplistic. It manages to show aspects of the character through presentation alone. I may experiment with this composition instead of relying only on portraiture and develop it to suit my film. I could use a similar full body shot but instead rely on themes of mystery within my film by composing the image from the back of the person's body. This could reflect an unknown identity/secret which is common within the film.

Images that influence my shoot:





These two images serve as influences on my work due to the use of shot types, text layout and dynamic covers. I will attempt to take aspects from each of these covers and translate them into my work where possible.
