Locations: where / why? risks involved?

1. ! St. Andrew’s Catholic School – 64135 !
Location Recce – Unit G321: Foundation Portfolio in Media
Location The first location of for my front cover and contents page
is going to be in the photography studio in school. Time:
lunch (12:35 - 1:20) on Tuesday, because it is the most
likely to be used longest time available during school.
This location was selected for it’s usefulness in terms of
lighting equipments and a black background available.
The second location is going to be somewhere outside
with grass ground, and a brick wall (preferably of a light
colour). This is for the DPS images- I thought that if I
took it in the outside environment, it would represent
the star as an active, confident and a person who goes
with their own pace. This is a positive representation.
The date for this shooting will also be on the Tuesday,
and the time will be: 12:30 - 1:20 if I am going to take it
on the school grass ground & bricks.
Picture Needed/Required The images needed for my front cover and contents page
include: -the model’s low angle shot of holding an electric
guitar. This would be because the front cover will then
represent power and motivation to the readers, and makes them
curious as to why he is making such a pose as it’s an
unconventional angle. Equipment needed will be the lighting
lights. For my contents page, the model will be shot in an eye-level
angle, with a full shot or a medium shot. He will either be
holding a guitar, or using his hands for expression. For the
DPS, he would be in a medium close-up to capture his
expressions, but also in a landscape shot. As it is outside, the
weather needs to be good.
The overall props needed will be an electric guitar.
It would be good if he does wear a necklace but not
essential. His costume will be: A leather Jacket on
top of black or white T-shirt, with Jeans. The
person I have in mind, is of someone who has a
fairly long hair, ,is tall and can play the guitar. I
will use him because he looks very conventional to
a person who likes and plays rock music.
Permission Needed As it is going to be inside school, I may need the
permission of the head teacher or someone who is in
charge of the school to overall, shoot images within
school for publication. I also need permission for
borrowing an electric guitar from the music department.
For using the photography studio, I need to ask the
photography teacher for permission. Then I will
have to arrange dates / times that I can use them.

2. Potential Hazards/Risks The potential risks that the photography studio can have,
is the lights, because they are very tall and heavy, so it
can break or hurt someone if it does collapse / fall down.
So an eye must be kept on it. Also, I am most likely going
to use a tripod when shooting, so it will need to be made
sure that the camera and the tripod is very secure on the
ground, so that it will not risk breaking.
In terms of shooting outside, there are trees in the
grass parts of the school, so I will have to be
careful that no one will break / fall into them. And
it is most likely that there are windows on top of
some brick walls of the school building, so I will
have to be careful not to break it or to hurt
someone.
