- 4. Finalised Location Scout Location1: Sunderland University Studio I have decided to use the Photoshoot studio to take pictures of my models as I feel this will make my magazine look much more professional. I didn’t use the studios when doing my AS work therefore I feel this introduction of high camera quality and lighting will really improve my images. I also think a plain white background would really compliment my contemporary style of magazine and therefore outdoor locations would draw the attention away from my models. As the university is its own establishment I will have to email the manager to get permission to use it and book a slot that is suitable for both me and my models. In preparation for this, I have researched the email of the manager and first contacted him to ask what availability he has. I’m then going to feed this back to my model and find an appropriate time and day.
- 5. Location 1: Scout Thestudio is located in Sunderland's David Puttnam Media Centre which is only a 3 minute walk from my college and therefore is really accessible. Using an indoor location means there are no issues with weather or natural lighting therefore I can feel confident to turn up at the location prepared. I do however need to make sure to take an SD card so that I can take my images home. I have had work experience in the media centre therefore I know my way around and how to get into the studios. The studios consist of digital lighting and cameras that can be adjusted to give a high key or low key lit image. The backdrop of the studio can be black, white or grey yet I am still undecided as to which colour I will use. I think white will be easier to edit and offer a contemporary style however a black background may make the magazine more mysterious and therefore more intriguing.
- 6. Location 1: Traveland Parking If I was going to travel from my college I would simply be able to walk across however I need to organise transportation for my models. As I know the area well, I’m going to pick up my models and drive them to the location. This will however take slightly longer therefore I will have to account for this when planning a time schedule. As I will be spending an hour at this location it means I will require a safe place to park my car. Luckily, there is a car park directly behind the studio that is used by students. Upon scouting the location I have found that the car park costs £1.10 an hour therefore I will need to be prepared with money and precise with my timings. The car park is extremely big which guarantees a space however if I have trouble I will park at my college and walk the extra 3 minutes.
- 7. Location 2: Indoorhouse facility I have decided to take images of props, musical items, food and other cultural objects in my home. Although a picture of a record player for example would look much more professional taken in the studio, it would be impossible to transfer all my props and too time consuming. I will be taking the pictures in against a white wall or will be creating Tumblr like flat lays to display them in an aesthetic way. I will try to achieve a similar studio look by using flash and editing however my camera equipment isn’t as advanced.
- 8. Location 2: Traveland Parking The location is really easy to get to and as I am there myself I can take the images any time. I do not need my models for the images I take in my home therefore I don’t need to worry about arranging transport or account travelling time. I will instead take the images in my own time.
