Band Shot original photography

Below are the thumbnails of our original photography for our band shots of 'Plain White T's.' The equipment we used were a green screen, still camera, a tripod and lights. When taking these images we had to consider proxemics, lighting, facial expressions and levels. We experimented with where to place me within the band shots and as I was the only girl it felt conventional to put me in the middle of every shot. We wanted our images to convey a serious and solemn effect to match the mood of the song 'Hey There Delilah' this meant that our facial expressions would be sad and/or serious gazes to show how we are feeling lonely. We wanted our shots to vary in terms of positioning and levels, we deciding to experiment using a chair for one member to sit on as we all crowd round. We also did a low level shot wherein we got very close together to look down at the camera. This was effective in terms of the way our heads were all positioned, for the front two were more enlarged, I was in the middle and the other two are slightly behind me, this broke away from just standing in a line at the same level. We experimented taking shots with and without lighting, it was clear that shots with higher lighting were of better quality which would mean the quality when editing would be more effective and clear.
