The document discusses location options for photography of a band for a magazine spread. It evaluates four locations - two sets of stairs, a blue screen room, and a bricked block area - for suitability. Risks are assessed for each location, including falling and injuries. Props, makeup, and costume ideas are listed to portray an "edgy" style for the band genre in the photos. Key elements include using the locations of the stairs to show importance through positioning, the blue screen for a cover image, and black/dark clothing and makeup styles. Safety measures are discussed such as ensuring careful movement and stability of equipment.

1. Location recce:
Stairs: I think these stairs could
look good on my double page
spread as a main image as i am
making the main article about a
band I can sit them all in
different steps to show their
importance (closer to camera is
more important). They look old
and edgy which suits the genre
style.
These swirly steps would
look really good on my
contents page or double
page spread as, similarly
with the other staircase I can
model the models in certain
places ad have one leant
against it. This again looks
edgy and like a laidback
place to have a photo of a
band, its quite dull o their
outfits and makeup can
stand out with the dull
background.
This area looks quite dirty and un
down and I think it would represent
the target audience well as if the
models are sat on it, it looks quite
rebellious. I like the little small
block next to it as I could have one
of the models stood on it looking as
thought they're balancing to add a
fun and natural effect to the image.
I would like to use this
blue screen for my cover
image and have the
‘band’ members stood in
front just in a certain pose
then id like to insert a
dark brick background
behind them so they
really stand out.
