The document provides details for a photography project to create the front page of a teen fashion magazine inspired by Teen Vogue. It includes plans for test shots, equipment to be used including a Canon camera, and backup plans to shoot outdoors if the photography studio is unavailable. Models will be volunteer friends and test shots will help determine lighting, poses, and how photos will work within the magazine layout focusing on fashion and makeup for a niche, high-end teenage audience.

5. Call and Planning sheet
• Subject: Thesubject of my shoot will befashion it will vary to an extent asteenagerswill be
included. I want my magazineto resembleTeen Vogue. Girlswill havetheir own makeup
done, I will comeup with adresscodeof what I want everyoneto wear.
• Availability of resources, e.g. space, time, personnel: Availability of resourcesvary
depending on when you book equipment. Thephotography studio isonly availablefor media
studentsthisgivesmetheopportunity to haveaccessfor thestudio. ThetimeI will usethe

• Bookings (studio time/space, models, equipment): I would liketo book thestudio prior
to theshoot asI will bemoreprepared. I will book thecameraand space. My modelsare
already booked asthey attend thecollege. Theequipment I will beusing isstudio lights,
umbrellalighting, etc. I will useatripod if needed.
• Test shots: I will haveasession with my volunteers, it will only beapractiseround, wewill
not havemakeup doneor any dresscodeasit will just bearun through how I could take
different shotsand anglesand how I can uselight and different equipment to makethe
picturescomeout professional.

6. • Image resolution, e.g. RAW files, compressed files: A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of
either a digital camera, image scanner, or motion picture film scanner. Raw files are named so because they are not yet processed and
therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor. Normally, the image is processed by a raw converter in a
wide-gamut internal colour space where precise adjustments can be made before conversion to a "positive" file format such as TIFF or
JPEG for storage, printing, or further manipulation. This often encodes the image in a device-dependent colour space. There are dozens, if
not hundreds, of raw formats in use by different models of digital equipment (like cameras or film scanners).
• Pixel size (in relation to final image size): I will be using my images in a jpeg format. Pixilation (from pixilated) is a stop motion technique
where live actors are used as a frame-by-frame subject in an animated film, by repeatedly posing while one or more frame is taken and
changing pose slightly before the next frame or frames. The actor becomes a kind of living stop motion puppet. This technique is often
used as a way to blend live actors with animated ones in a movie, such as in The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb by the Bolex Brothers.
• ASA/ISO (American Standards Association/International Standards Organisation): Film speed is the measure of a photographic film's
sensitivity to light, determined by sensitometry and measured on various numerical scales, the most recent being the ISO system. A closely
related ISO system is used to measure the signal gain of digital imaging systems.
• Relatively insensitive film, with a correspondingly lower speed index, requires more exposure to light to produce the same image density as
a more sensitive film, and is thus commonly termed a slow film. Highly sensitive films are correspondingly termed fast films. In both digital
and film photography, the reduction of exposure corresponding to use of higher sensitivities generally leads to reduced image quality (via
coarser film grain or higher image noise of other types). In short, the higher the sensitivity, the grainier the image will be. Ultimately
sensitivity is limited by the quantum efficiency of the film or sensor.
• In photography and cinematography, available light or ambient light refers to any source of light that is not explicitly supplied by the
photographer for the purpose of taking photos. The term usually refers to sources of light that are already available naturally (e.g. the sun,
moon, lightning) or artificial light already being used (e.g. to light a room). It generally excludes flashes, although arguably flash lighting
provided by other photographers shooting simultaneously in the same space could be considered available light. Light sources that affect
the scene and are included in the actual frame are called practical light sources, or simply practical's.

7. Location (exterior) assessment (weather, light, positioning, permissions, risk assessment):
•I will make sure if I take pictures outside the weather does not have a hazard effect on the model/s as it would create
many dangers
•I will use the weather deliberately to give effect on the photography I produce e.g. Sun or a cloudy day,
•The light from the sun will give good effects and will give a good atmosphere and look on the final product
•I will make sure the positioning of my images are organised properly and is shot in a safe environment/ location
•I will make sure I receive and give out permission slips for individuals who have taken part in my photoshoot
•I will also have a risk assessment of the location and timing of the shoot, this is done to make the project safe
Interior (or studio) assessment (light source, power supply. risk assessment (e.g. trailing cables, hot lamps), sets):
•I will make sure I have various shots interior and inside the studio if available, I will most definitely have outside shots
•My natural light source will be the sun as if I take shots outside it will give an good effect
•The power supply will be sorted as I have my own canon camera and it will be charged
•I will include a risk assessment if I use the studio, I will make sure the trailing cables and hot lamps are not a hazard
towards anyone included in my shoot
•I will make sure nobody touches the hot lamps as they are very dangerous

8. VOGUE
Test Shot 1
I decided to take a test shot with a
back drop of the lockers to give a
different look. It also gives a
casual look but I don’t think I will
be using this image as Vogue has
a higher target audience.
Test Shot
2I decided to take
this test shot and
wanted to include
the ground to give
another casual
look. Also it is a
good long shot to
use as it includes
the whole outfit and
trainers included. It
is too casual so I
won’t be using it

9. Test Shot 3
I have decided to take this test shot
as it has a nice clear white
background. It brings out the colours
they are wearing as my magazine is
for Vogue the fashion and clothing
means a lot.

10. Test Shot 4
I have decided to use a
picture outside because it
was a good location to use
in the college. As you can
see the colours are
enhanced. Also the
background gives a good
natural look.
