Before we begin the photoshoot for our CD digipack we must create a plan first to ensure that we know what image we would like to create, what location would be best to use and what props, costume and equipment we will need;
What emotional impact do you want your photography do have upon the reader? How?We would like our photos to have a very dramatic effect on the viewer. As the music promo video is a party and will involve teenagers taking part in controversial behaviour that would be seen as innapropriate to most people we would like to create the image of wild off the rails youth in our images. We will do this by having an image consistent with the video and having the members of the group taking part in controversial behaviour in a party type setting.
What personnel do you need? Who are you going to photograph?

The image will feature the members of the band. We felt this appropriate as it is a common convention of CD covers to feature images of the artists and also it allows the cover to be easily recogniseable to people as belonging to the band.
What props will you need?As we want the image to be consistent with the music video we will need props similar to those that will be used in the video to create the party scenes and give the impression of wild youth such as cigarettes and alcohol.
How are you going to emphasise colour?The majority of the colour on the printed aspects of the digipack will come from the text and backgrounds the images are placed with. To stay within conventions of the genre the costume of the photoshoot will be made up of mainly dark clothing however having an item of clothing, hair or makeup in bright block colours is a common convention, the background the image will be taken against will be quite plain which will contrast with the block colours used in the photo and the bright colours used for the text and backgrounds.
Have you briefed your personnel/models?The models that will be used in the photographs will be the members of the group. This means we dont have to rely on other people, gain their consent, work our scheduale round their free time and the members of the group already know what kind of look we want to create as they were involved in the planning.
What lighting will you need? Any other equipment?We will be using natural light sources whilst taking the photographs, however if it gets cloudy or overcast and we lose a lot of natural light we can use the outdoor-cloudy flash setting on the camera meaning we have the right amount of light for the image to look good in the particular surroundings. The only other peices of equipment we will need to take the images will be a tripod to stand the camera on to use a self timer setting, this ensures all the group members can be in the image and we arent relying on someone else knowing how to use the camera correctly.
Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop?We will be shooting the images outside and we opted for a fence or a wall as our background for the image rather than an artificial backdrop. This ensures consistency to the theme and music video as it will make the images appear natural as if they have been took at a party in someones back garden.
Make-up? Costume?As can be seen previously in the makeup and costme research the fashion side of the photoshoot will be heavily influenced by the indie/rock genre. The costume and make-up ideas we have picked are typical of that of a band of this genre and is popular with the target audience. This gives us appeal to our target audience and adds realism to our package.
