Using the collection of images of publicity shots we had from a few weeks ago, we decided to look further into costume, posing, light and framing for the publicity shots of the band.
Firstly we sat together with the pictures we gathered and made notes on the common characteristics and conventions between them and discussed what we particularly liked about each one, and which ones we could take influence from for our photos.
From this we agreed that we wanted to try both direct and indirect address, along with a range of frames, along with full length, long shots. We also decided that we wanted a studio-based setting with high key lighting, similar to Clean Bandit publicity shots.

We also discussed the positioning of the band. We wanted Kayvon to stand out more than Gavin and me, because he's the leader of the group. However we didn't want him to dominate the shots, otherwise it would offset the themes of friendship our video and brand are trying to convey.
