Test shoot

We had our first shoot today from 3.30 to 5.30 in the Seward Studio with Liv. We had a couple of costume changes, in a variety of poses to try and get shots for our album.

 The Seward studio: testing the lighting and framing before Liv arrives

Getting Liv ready - hair, makeup, outfit

Sorting out lighting and framing for the shoot

We got props such as a guitar amp and headphones to really give a music vibe.

For the front cover, we want Liv posing with the amp and headphones and for the back we would like a shot of her looking at the tracks.

These are a few of the shots we liked, although in some of them we had problems with lighting;

Reverse Testing

It's Despina and Anisah here. We decided to take out a camera and take some shots to see how successful the reverse effect would be. We recorded some actions, such as walking, sliding  down banisters, taking clothes on and off and they all looked quite good reversed.

The shots that we really like are:

• Despina taking her hair out of a bun - looks really cool
• Sliding down the banisters
• Walking - simple, but effective and suits the London street look of our video

We're going to show the video to George, Joe and Miss B as well to get feedback from them.
