The document outlines plans for a nature photography magazine. It will feature images from local nature reserves including Fibbersley and Cannock Chase. The front cover will show a photographer looking through a camera viewfinder surrounded by smaller nature images. Interior pages will have a large central photo surrounded by four smaller photos. Shoot locations include Fibbersley, known for slippery hills, ponds, and hazards like glass and snakes. Safety equipment like first aid supplies, hiking gear, and waterproof bags will be taken to manage risks. Shooting will avoid rain and storms due to equipment risks, with backup plans and equipment in case of issues. All shooting will be done legally and ethically with subjects' permission.

1. BE ABLE TO PLAN A
PHOTOGRAPHIC SHOOT

2. MEDIA PRODUCT
My photo magazine will be based around nature it will
feature images of different nature reserves from
Fibbersly to Cannock chase and will feature nature
wildlife itself. The front page will feature a photographer
looking through the viewfinder at the camera and will
feature smaller images of nature around the cover page.
The double pages will feature five images throughout
and will have a big image in the middle with the other
four images in a smaller size around the rest of the page.

3. THEME
My theme will be a relaxing nature of simple things from
nature reserves with various wildlife and different areas
like streams and tree filled areas to swampy areas and
streams. To represent a calm mood nothing with the
impression of tension will be in the magazines like
animals fighting or anything that implies any harm.

4. EQUIPMENT
For this project I will be using a Canon 600D (18-55mm) camera for taking high quality images
and if necessary flash. I will be taking a tripod so I can take still precise photographs so I can
make sure there is no blur and so there is no chance of the camera dropping and breaking it
will also help to tell me if the camera is level. I will need some batteries just in case of the off
chance my camera goes out I will need a backup power source and need to make sure I will
be able to still take photographs if I lose my first battery. I will also need a photographic
background as well to make sure my subject is easier to edit, as it will be easier on me to
delete one background than lots of trees and the sky and many other inconvenience features.
I will need a reflector to add or help subtract light from my subject and make my magazine
look a bit more professional. Flash gun I may need this for very dark environments and give
me that little extra boost to achieve a better light. Portable led is a possibility as I may be out
at night and will need to brighten up an image and make it easier to take a photograph at
night. I may require flash heads as I may need lighting and they will help me with any backup I
may require.

5. SHOOT LOCATIONS
One of my shoot locations will be fibbersly which is known for
its slippery hills and its bad environments and at the time of
year I will be there some of the ponds will be full which usually
happens at the end of the year there it also has some hazards
like obvious ones like glass from fallen bottles and some grass
snakes which is not a big problem but can waste my time if I’m
hurt by any of these things. I will also have to be careful of
falling as a fall from the top of fibbersly can definitely leave me
in a hospital and fibbersly also has many water filled zones so
drowning is always a risk If I get to careless of clumsy.

6. RISK ASSESSMENT
I will have to make sure I have anything necessary for any of these
things like disinfect for any injuries and plasters or bandages.
When swimming I have a past experience swimming so I will be
able to stop myself from danger in water. I will wear some hiking
gear for when I am climbing so there less risks of me falling from
any heights and I will be wearing a water proof bag to protect any
equipment I may have been carrying with me to stop any water
damages short circuiting them or breaking them down.

7. SHOOTING SCHEDULE
My shooting schedule will be carefully assessed I will be aiming to stay
away from shooting photographs in rainy weather due to the fact I do not
want the equipment getting wet but in case my plans fail or change I will
have a water proof bag and a water proof blanket to cover the equipment
in and will also have an umbrella to make sure I can take photographs
while keeping the camera and tripod dry from water damages. I will need
to be aware of rainy weather and storms as lightning will impact my
nature photography as trees attract lightning meaning I could be in
danger. I must be aware of rain making areas to wet and slippery and
make sure I’m safe around these kinds of areas. I will also need backup
plans in case certain pieces of equipment start to brake down and make
sure I can function without anything except the camera of course. I will
also have my digital camera as a backup if I ever need to use a different
camera.

8. LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES
There are many laws that make it so I cannot take pictures of certain
things such as the public unless I have there permission which means I
will try to avoid people being in my photographs and make sure I will
make sure if someone is in the shot and there’s nothing I can do to
change it I will either ask there permission or blur them out so they are
not recognised and protect there identities and keep both them and me
out of trouble. I will make sure none of my pictures are fake or edited as it
defeats the purpose of the magazine and will not use any copyrighted
images unless granted the photographers permission. I will not be by any
buildings or any other pieces of property so I will not be on any property I
shouldn’t be on and cannot be in trouble for any of these things and will
do nothing out the law only 100% legitimate legal things. As for my model
I will have their permission and make sure this is not against their will.
