On Monday 12th of September, we organised to get all members of our band together for some practise shots for possible album covers and for some possible influence for stop-motion. We met at Whetstone Co-op and together commuted to Thurlaston (a small country village) which had some ideal locations such as: a ford; an old bordered up cottage; old church walls; corn fields and a hand made swing. We tried some conventions of photo shoots for bands by making our band not smile and remain expressionless and also to have the lead singer in the middle at most shots but with the female in the middle too at times to break down the sexes. I think for a first shoot it was quite successful, but in order to get the ideal shot more will need to be taken.
As I mentioned this morning you need to decide what the point of Georgia is. By that I mean either make a point of the fact she is a female in a traditionally all male genre by having all the boys dress the same and Georgia differently OR make there no difference and have them dress in a similar fashion
ReplyDeleteLook into other indie bands which feature female members like the XX, the Naked and Famous, Noah and the Whale (when Emmy the Great was with them) etc to see how the industry deals with this issue.
