Photoboth Process

To do our images for the photobooth, we used a blue bedsheet, a tripod, a camera, and a remote to the camera. We set the sheet up on a door or on two windows so that it provided a curtain like background for the photos.

We then put the camera onto the tripod and set it up so that it took a photo by remote instead of the button on the camera. We then asked each band member/the narrative characters to sit with their backs near the background and we then positioned opposite them so they were within the frame.

We then captured the images we wanted as each character did a random face and so on (pictures shown previosuly). They were unsure when the camera was going to take their photo as we used a remote so they couldn't see clearly when we were taking the photo. This made the photos more spontaneous.

We finished these quickly and smoothly and we started the photo choosing process.

To make the photobooth strip, we used the Paint program and shrunk the photo down so they were a desired size and then placed them in a line so they made a sequence. We made sure they were the same distance apart and then filled the white background with a pale grey then saved each image.

We created different versions, some with each band member with a different person and all of the band members had another version that had them with their own piece of the album title.
