Production Diary FMP

1. Production Diary
By Fintan Sedgwick

2. Week 1
• For the first week of Pre-production I began by researching into my subject which would be fashion photography,
which I started looking at different kinds of people who influenced me into choosing this for my FMP, for example
with the photography I chose Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca and Ben Cunningham who are both very individual
photographers in their own style. The reason I chose these two would be that they are very different because one
use random timed shots and the other use black and white photography, I think that I need to research more into
this because I haven’t talked about colours and layouts because I don’t know I want to show exactly as I am only 1
week in. Although I haven’t finished my research I decided I wanted to move onto the proposal because I know that
it wasn’t very hard and I knew that it was something which could be done in a very short amount of time and I
wanted to explain some of the ideas which I wanted to make for my FMP. When I was writing my proposal I felt
correct about the things which I was putting down for example my concept because it was similar to last year but I
wanted to go into more detail and also make it more professional. But one thing which I think I could improve when
it comes to my proposal would have to be the section which talked about the mediums because I don't think that I
went into enough detail as in the beginning I didn’t understand the question and also I loosely talked about the
reason behind photography because I mentioned that I am not naturally talented in photography and I wanted to
improve my ability throughout this FMP. Over all for this week I think that I could improve the research by going
through different kind of subjects including the right way to use a camera and the best settings because this could
really help my photography as I want to have the best outcome when it comes to my photos. A few pieces of
knowledge which I have learnt during my research would have to be the fact that there are so many different types
of photography such as fashion, nature and wildlife because I though they all came under the same category and
also different lenses which are use for certain photography , for example prime lenses which produce sharper images
and also zoom lenses which are useful for long distance shots, I think that I am just going to use a standard lense
because It is fairly expensive for a lenses and the quality of the camera which we are given are good enough for this
type of photography.
