Hopefully by now you have started considering who you are going to work with and are trawling myspace or your contacts for friends in bands/singers etc.
This has several key advantages over using established artists:
1. They will have developed some idea of image but may not be too clear on how they want to come across - this is where you come in.
2. You have a wide array of established artists from over 50 years of the Popular Music Industry to use as influence. This is a golden opportunity for 'Intertextuality'
3. Your will be able to contact your artists directly - obtaining permission to film a music video & to have a dialogue (if you don't know them I recommend that this is over email than in person) where they can give you advice and direction which you can incorporate into your ideas - this is how the process works in real life!
Top tip: when shooting the performers for your digipack/music video/photoshoot take control - Get them to not be afraid of the eyeliner and foundation and keep the hairspray & straighteners handy - this is key to a flattering image when shooting on HD!
