MEST 2: Print brief

Photoshoot

Which of your main characters will appear on the front cover of your programme?
The main character that will appear on my front cover will either be Jason or Grace. I'm hoping to show the different sides of Jason but I feel like this would be a lot more cliche and also could possibly give away the plotline. So, I feel like if I was to focus on Grace as well, and create a type of "missing" poster, it would help to create many enigma codes and also be something that's unique to draw the audience in.

What image or images do you need for the contents page?
The image that I think would be effective for the contents page is an image of Jason's back to the camera with a cricket bat held behind his back. The cricket bat being the actual murder weapon.

What image or images will you use for the double-page spread?
The image for the double page spread will have medium or long shots of every other character in the production

Write a shot list for the photoshoot. Make sure you plan a variety of camera shots you will look to capture - medium shots, close-ups etc.

• Close up of facial expressions, some with serious and also with crazy features to show the damaged personality of the character
• Close up/Medium shot of the character resting his chin in his hand stained with blood 
• Long shot with the cricket bat
• Medium shots of the character holding the bat to his head
• Low angled shot which to make him look a lot more intimidating

What costume, props or make-up will you require for the photoshoot?
Jason will have to be in his normal casual costume where he is wearing clothes that resemble his attitude and personality, such as t shirt/jeans/hoodie/trainers. There will also be the use of a cricket bat which is the murder weapon in the actual storyline. In terms of make up, there will only be the need for red paint for blood.

How will you make sure you have everything prepared for the photoshoot on Wednesday 20 January?
Talk to the person playing Jason and see if he is free during the photoshoot periods or if he is free after school. Bring in lighting equipment and the cricket bat props.
