I was happy with these test shots whilst there are still changes I want to make. Some of the camera settings will change, come are slightly to dark or too light. Some of the photos are slightly blurry, I think this is because I took some whilst she was moving a bit so I may need to make sure she is posed when I take the photos. I like the background, but may use other similar sparkly curtain things. I would like to try using different lighting as well, such as coloured lighting and maybe different camera shots although I do like the ones I used for these test shots. I did do some pictures with a prop, a disco ball, however this did not work for these test shots as it just looked quite awkward but I could try this again, but I do like the simplicity of these.
Cover 2:
I was less happy with these photos as the day we shot these there was a storm and generally bad weather. They were also shot in my garden, but for the actual ones I would like to do them in a field or something similar, so I would either have Woody with a long grass field and blue sky in the background and potentially a shot from further away, or just the sky in the background. I did not like the lighting in these photos, the sky is too white in some and Woody's face is either shadowed or too light. I do like the styling, I think the suit is effective as intertextuality and is a good contrast to the location. I also like how the covers compliment eachother, the first one is more new and exciting reflecting pop and the second one is more traditional and simple. I may try different backgrounds for this cover for example records or record covers.
I think when I re take these I would do a mid close up shot and a plain background, to try an re create the Alex Turner more as I think this photo is very effective, and I will still be able to have an intertextual reference to Nirvana.
