Location
                                                 School Stairway

                                                 Backup: School Library
Lighting                                         Use available light on location for the first part of
                                                 the photo shoot (i.e. light bulbs)

                                                 Use external device, a flash light, to maximise
                                                 the light in the image to create a fully lit up
                                                 image.

Mise-en-scene (incl. props, costume)
                                                 Drama Mask (Comedy/Tragedy)

                                                 Backup: Rubik’s Cube
Attempted connotation
                                                 With the use of a drama mask, I am trying to say
                                                 that there is drama in school life. This is
                                                 connected to the coverline which will read
                                                 something along the lines of ‘how to cope with
                                                 the drama in your life, including school’.

                                                 Backup: If the Rubik’s Cube is used, the
                                                 attempted connotation will be that the student
                                                 has ‘cracked’ the way of coping with drama, not
                                                 just in her school life, due to the successful
                                                 completion of the Rubik’s Cube in the image.



Planned denotation
                                                 A student with a drama mask near her sitting
                                                 against a coloured background.

                                                 Backup: A student has a successfully completed
                                                 Rubik’s Cube in her hand, sitting against a
                                                 coloured background.

Alternate angle                                    Low Angle
