Plan for photoshoot

• We have discussed what we want to do for our photo-shoot. We are aiming to make the lead singer stand out from the other members, as this is a theory of Goodwin's, making the lead singer stand out slightly will help an audience who isn't a fan of Paramore also recognise who the lead singer is.
• We are mainly being inspired by Paramore's Self Titled album cover, where they are stood with neutral expressions, they look serious and you can tell that they are an alternative band. Hayley is also facing away, while Jeremy and Taylor are looking at the camera, this is simple yet effective, because someone who isn't a fan will be able to tell that Hayley is the lead singer. This is also helped by Hayley's outfit, which is lighter than the others and her hair is bright.

• We made a list of things that we would like to include in our photo-shoot. We are definitely going to use balloons, as this will make it obvious that the song that we are using for our music video, will definitely be in our album. Paramore have also used this in their self titled album. As you can see that they have powder paint all over them, this links to their first single from this album that was released with a music video.
• We also discussed the importance of using an outfit from the video to include in the shoot, as this is also an important link. The two boys will be wearing something similar, while I will be wearing something very different, just to slightly stand out.
• We came up with the idea of using balloons over our faces, perhaps having the bassist and guitarist holding green balloons to cover their faces and the lead singer using a blue or yellow balloon.
• Another idea we thought of was doing the same, but drawing a cartoon style face on them and holding them up. I think the balloon idea will definitely create an alternative style and make the band look obviously different from any other band.
• We also like the idea of having natural sort of shots (or making them look natural), perhaps of us laughing, just showing the 'close friendship bond' between the 'band members' and how much fun they have. This type of shot would also still fit in with the fun theme to match with the 'Ain't it Fun' video.
• We would like a shot similar to the shot in the music video, where Bradley puts his arm around Brandon and I, as that shot looks genuine.
• We want the lead singer to stand out, so we came up with the idea of having us standing in height order, the lead singer being at the end (being the shortest). The two boys will be stood looking straight at the camera with straight face as and the 'lead singer' will be leaning on one of the boys with her head cocked to one side.
