To Die For Entertainments - Publicity Shoot Planning

I was asked to do some publicity shots for a Murder Mystery company for a show that was coming up entitled "Death By Chocolate" this was a Murder Mystery Parody of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. The photos would be used to make a poster and to send to the press.

In preperation for the shoot I met with the director and got the general jist of what the production was about, the plot etc, as due to time restraints of the cast no test shoot could be done. This would mean that on the day I had to shoot from various angles to get the desired shots. The shoot would be done at one of the venues which was a pub, so the interior of the pub would be used and the outdoor carpark.

We decided to base some of the shots on famous film publicity shots with a comedy take on it.

As most of the images will be used for web purposes I shall be shooting on digital.
