This document provides guidance for students on developing a photo shoot plan and concepts for digital photographs for a media project. It outlines requirements for the shoot plan pitch, including location details, equipment needs, lighting, health and safety considerations, and file storage. Students must also complete a risk assessment. They are instructed to research possible photo locations, needed resources, and contextual influences by researching the styles of 3 suggested photographers to draw inspiration from.
