Photo-shoot Planning

Photo shoot planning document

What emotional impact do you want your photography do have upon the reader? How?

I want my magazine to have an influenced impact on the readers of my magazine. I will do this by the lighting and the pose of the model.

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

I will need a friend to take photos of. This will be one of my classmates as they will understand what I want them to do and I also want a male.

What props will you need?

I will need sunglasses and maybe some jewellery like a chain necklace as this is something that rappers wear.

How are you going to emphasise colour?

I will emphasise the colours by making my colour black and white. This will be good for the magazine as normally rap magazines are quite dark without vibrant colours.

Have you briefed your personnel/models?

Yes I have told my model as they are in my class and I have text them the information to make sure that the model is available.

What lighting will you need? Any other equipment?

I will use the lighting in the studio as they have professional lighting that will be good enough to use.

Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop?

I will shoot at the Sunderland University, St. Peters campus, and I will be focusing on a medium close up as this is what is usually used in most magazines.

Make-up? Costume?

I won’t be using any makeup as I am using a male model and rappers won’t wear makeup. This will make my magazine more authentic.
