BIRMINGHAM ORMISTON ACADEMY – TV
STUDIO
 1 Grosvenor Street, Birmingham B4 7QD

The studio is at the same location as the base, so it
is a very short distance away.

4. Why BOA?
&
The Availability
 I chose the BOA TV studio because it has a lot of
technological equipment (Wires, Camera’s etc.)
that symbolise the entertainment industry. Also,
because it is quite small room, it would also
symbolise the start of a career, which is what the
artist in the photoshoot is currently going through.
 The studio is Available between 9am – 5:15pm
everyday. However, due to my lessons thorughout
the day, I will only be available to use it in either my
media lessons or free periods. Luckily though, I
have free periods everyday so it shouldn’t be a
problem.

6. Power & Lights
 My main power source will be through the use of
plugs and power switches in the walls in order to
make sure the lights are working in the studio as I
would like a generally naturalistic lighting effect so I
can change the photo effects so it fits in with the
target audience.
 Hopefully, as I want naturalistic lighting, there wont
be any problems with lighting, unless there is a power
cut. Also, the main lights may not be bright enough
for my camera, so I will also use the flash feature on
my camera as well. However, this will not be possible
if my camera runs out of battery or is faulty.
