Album Cover
Model: Becky Wade I decided to base my album cover on the soundtrack for the film Suckerpunch. Becky is posed as the main character ' Babydoll'. |
Plan for this shoot:
For my unit 23 project i decided to create an album cover for the soundtrack of the film 'Suckerpunch' i decided this after thinking long and hard what to do this project on. I though of many different album covers i could interpret into my own, but then they would still be similar so i decided on a film so i could make it completely my own as it already had a soundtrack but just the film cover for their album cover. I researched the music on you tube and came across the song baby doll sang ' sweet dreams ' this is what the basis of my shoot was aiming at showing. I chose to use Becky Wade as the model as i thought she would fit the role well, she already has blonde hair and has similar features to the 'Baby doll' character.
I chose to use a white backdrop i thought this would make everything more bold and stand out more where as black would have made everything merge slightly with the dark colours in the costume.
I used two lights one either side one soft box and one with a snoot.
I used the settings on my camera IOS 200, 1/160 and F5.
Following the photo shoot i edited the photo together using Photoshop 6 i added on the 'Suckerpunch' logo to my image. It took a lot of time for me to decide on using quite a plain background due to the tones in the image originally. I knew i defiantly wanted to add in the Suckerpunch logo so made a montage and added this onto the original plain image of the model. I tried diffident textures and colors for the background but in the end i think the neatural toning works the best, i wanted all the focus to be on the model and not what else is going on in the image. She is showing she is being strong and Independence and within the film ' fighting crime ' so i think the main aspect of the photo should be her.
