Photoshoot Planning

Media Studies – Foundation Portfolio

Photo shoot planning document

 

What emotional impact do you want your photography do have upon the reader and how will you achieve this? The emotional impact I want the reader to have is that of understanding the emotions that the person I am photographing has. I will achieve this by making the expressions easy to recognise and also by making the main coverline relevant to the expressions the person is presenting and that I want to put across.  

 

What personnel do you need? Who are you going to photograph?

I am going to photograph a girl who I haven’t chosen yet and will get someone to photograph me and the girl.

 

What props will you need?

The props I will need will be some glasses and chains as my magazine will be a rap magazine so I will want to show the typical rap artist within my photographs.

 

How are you going to emphasise colour? The colours I will be using will be bold colours but won’t be a variety of colours though mainly whites, blacks and maybe a blue or red.

 

Have you briefed your personnel/models?

No I haven’t as of yet but I will when I see them.

 

What lighting will you need? Any other equipment? The only equipment I will need will be a camera to take my photographs.

 

Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop?

I will shoot in the photography room and the backdrop is yet to be decided but will be a famous landmark such as the New York skyline or the London eye  

 

Mise-en-scene - Make-up? Costumes? Props?

The make-up will be done by the model themselves and won’t be too over the top. Costumes will just be clothes that fit into the genre of rap and can display the idea of rap though.
