Location
Time
Date
Why?
The front cover photo will be taken at
school on a plain white background, for
example a wall in the corridor, so then
when I edit the photo using photoshop
it can be easily edited with different
colours (my colours of inspiration- pink
and green for the front cover). It will be
taken at lunchtime because this time of
day provides the best oppurtunity to
capture high key lighting for my cover.
This will be the 20th October because I
have a free period at this time andf a
relevant oppurtunity to get the best
image.
The contents page photo will be
taken at school on a plain white
background, for example a wall in
the corridor, so then when I edit the
photo using photoshop it can be
easily edited with different colours
(my colours of inspiration- black for
the contents page). It will be taken
at lunchtime because this time of
day provides the best oppurtunity
to capture high key lighting for my
cover. This will be the 20th October
because I have a free period at this
time andf a relevant oppurtunity to
get the best image.
The DPS photo will be taken at
school on a plain white background,
for example a wall in the corridor,
so then when I edit the photo using
photoshop it can be easily edited
with different colours (my colours
of inspiration). It will be taken at
lunchtime because this time of day
provides the best oppurtunity to

cover. This will be the 20th October

Costume
Person/People
Why?
The shot type will be an extreme
closeup because this us the type of shot
that is the type of shot on my front
cover of inspiration and gives the
audience a relationship with the model
as it seems like they are there in front of
them looking back. Equipment needed
to take this photo will be a Canon
camera borrowed off school, used to
take a high quality high key lighting
photo of my model (Shaune Hazlehurst)
so that the image on the front is clearly
visible with a sharp edges therefore a
The shot type for my contents page
will be more of a medium closeup
shot so there is a variety of shot
types so that the reader is not
looking at the same type of image
evry time. In addition to this I will
also be using a medium closeup
because I am repeating the
conventions from my magazine of
inspiration. I will be using the same
camera for the contents page and all
images. I will again be aiming for a
high key image because the image
The DPS image again will be of
Shaune but I will be taking a
number of images of the same
model and placing them around the
page. The camera will be the
‘Canon’ one that I borrow from
school so that it captures the mosgt
high resolution images for my DPS
which will give it a more
professional appearance and
encourage more people to be
interested in reading the whole
article.

high resolution. He will be pictured

is also the type of clothing Kendrick
Lamar is wearin on the cover of my
magazine of inspiration.
will be over a black background,
therefore the image of the star in
the foreground must be of high key
lighting to ensure that the image
stands out.
Permission Needed
Contact needed to be made
Evidence of this?
I will be using Shaune as my model for all of my images so therefore I sent him an email asking him for his
permission for him to feature as my model and this was his response.
Potential Hazards/Risks
Location specific
Why?
As I will be taking all of the photos for my magazine, including the cover, contents and DPS at the same location, the
potential hazards and risks will remain the same. All photos will be taken at school on the same white background in
the corridor. Some of the potential risks and hazards that I could potentially ecounter include unaware students
walking in front of us which would obscure our images and mean that I have to re-shoot all of them. In addition to
this there could be objects on the floor that may pose a risk such as wires or random objects that my trip up myslef
or Shaune, my model for the shoot.
