social media candid shoot

Today Georgia and I met with the band and did a more candid style shoot to create content for our social media account. We walked around school in search for places to take pictures with our reference photos to hand. Our aim was hide the fact we were in a school by finding locations with nondescript backgrounds and taking close pictures.

We also used our reference pictures from instagram. I tried to recreate this picture from Flytes instagram account.

creating social media

Georgia and I decided to make an Instagram account for our band and we called them 'Midnights People'. We also had to create an album name and I came up with 'Suddenly Its All Over'.

We had already found the accounts to influence our instagram based on bands with a similar sound and vibe, such as The Wallows and Flyte.





This is the first post I made for the account to introduce the band and the account. 

I took these four photos on the same day and edited them in VSCO to make them look like they'd been taken on a film camera.

I then found this black film template on pics art and cropped the images to fit the photo blocks.

my digipack ideas

For my input to the digital pack i've had a play around with Canva. Given more time I would want to have a look at combining digital and hand drawn aspects. You can't do this on canvas so I will have a look at other software I can try this on.


For now I've focused on the home made aspect of the group and their down to earth nature. I don't think what i've created is very good but it's more to capture the feel of the band.







I like the polaroids of the band.














social media influence

Today, after setting up for our shoot tomorrow, we had a look into social media accounts after we decided what post-production roles we should all have. Georgia and I are doing the social media, Ben is doing the digipack and Gite will edit the video. 

To help get us started I had a look into other band accounts who have a similar vibe to our band and see what kind of things they post. 

I had a look at 

Flyte

The Wombats 

The wallows

Plastic mermaids 


There was a nice mix of more professional shots and casual ones that felt like the band was in control of the account not the label which is vital for our band. 

Flyte

























I had a look at specific shots that I thought we could duplicate such as a set list or a line up sheet. Shots in a recording studio which we have at school etc.

testing makeup ideas

Today I sat with Luke and used our references from the master document to try out some makeup looks so I was ready on our shoot day. 

here are some of the looks:

The first look I tried was definitely my favourite of the three. Georgia then took Luke to do a quick screen test with the makeup look.
