PLANNING TASK 5: Photo-shoot Planning

For the different genres, a variety of images and poses would have to be taken and used. Therefore I have looked at various images with difference in pose, lighting and camera shots.

There are numerous types of shots such as:
- extreme wide shot,
- wide shots,
- extreme long shot,
- long shot,
- mid shot,
- close-up,
-  extreme close-up,
- two shot,
- over the shoulder,
- point of view,
- low angle,
- high angle,
- establishing shot,
- birds eye view,
- worms eye view

Below are the images I have looked at, each indicating the genre and style:

R&B/HIP HOP:

As you can see, the males within this gene have a very serious and dramatic look, most of the time they are not smiling but keep a "mysterious" feel. The only part of their body they alter is their hands and arms. They keep the rest of their body most of the time straight but pose by moving their hands such as; pointing or doing the peace sign etc. Whereas the females within this genre are slightly more fanatical as they do poses that are very "glamour" look and not natural. Most of the time the females wear very revealing clothes, making it aimed at a higher audience age. And also pose in a way where teenagers and young adults would be appropriate to view.

POP:

Within this genre, the females tend to have many props to pose with, this creates a fun and interesting theme which could range from different age audiences. Some do close ups, therefore the make up is very focused on and some are longer shots, showing the props. Their expressions also change depending on the theme such as; "sassy" looks will have a slight more dramatic expression whereas the "cute" look will be smiles. The males within this genre have a slight laid back look, yet very intense, they tend to not have props but especially in boy bands, they show laughter and "craziness".

ROCK/PUNK:

There are mostly bands within this genre, therefore many of them pose standing altogether to enhance this or they stand with their instruments, showing what each member does within the band. They all have a very "lazy" and rough look by having very casual clothing and quite a "drowsy" expression. The older bands tend to have an even more "grungy" look whereas the new artists have a more simple but very dramatic look.
