                                       Delic

Camera height/angle/distance           Various angles, heights and distances shall be
                                       used.

                                       Main ones shall be:

                                       Low Angle, Low height and 2m distance for
                                       Gilles’s shots, to suggest the connotation that he
                                       is superior to the reader of the magazine.

                                       Close Up shot, between low angle and eye level
                                       height, 15m-20m distance, capturing Gilles in the
                                       frame as well as an underground sign, which is a
                                       symbol of London

                                       Mid Shot and close ups (Two shot), eye level
                                       height and 2m distance for Tommy and Jack’s
                                       shots to suggest more of a connection with the
                                       reader.

                                       Close ups and mid shots, eye level height, 1m-3m
                                       distance for shots of Tina

Location                               London Underground station for Gilles’s shots

                                       Rough Brick Wall for some of Tina’s shots
                                       Graffiti Wall for Tina

                                       White wall (or single colour) for shots of Tommy
                                       and Jack

Lighting                               The use of lighting will alternate using all
                                       available light and using a flash light. This will
                                       allow a more varied selection of images that I can
                                       use for my table of contents page, as different
                                       levels and directions of lighting can drastically
                                       change the way an image looks and feels.

Mise-en-scene (incl. props, costume)   Gilles: Aviator sunglasses
                                               Black Coat

                                       Tommy & Jack: Laidback, leisure clothes

                                                        Sunglasses (Ray-ban)

Attempted connotation                             Gilles: Location of London Underground so that
                                                  the photos of the TOC relate back to the article.
                                                  Low angles to show his higher status. More
                                                  leisurewear-like clothing to show that he is
                                                  showing his true self in the article

                                                  Tommy & Jack: Group shot to show that they are
                                                  in the same band. Arms around each other to
                                                  show their friendship. Medium shot to show
                                                  their music-themed t-shirts which will show their
                                                  passion for music.

                                                  Tina: Ray-ban sunglasses to show there is
                                                  mystery to her. Leather jacket is a common piece
                                                  of clothing in the rock genre, therefore
                                                  addressing the target audience.

Planned denotation                                Gilles: Youthful rebel in an empty London
                                                  underground station

                                                  Tina: Teenager leaning back on a brick wall

                                                  Tommy & Jack: Two young friends, with arms
                                                  around them and hand gestures

Contingency (in case of model absence/weather)    In the case of bad weather, the photo shoot will
                                                  be contained indoors within the school and
                                                  conducted on the 4th floor corridor, and other
                                                  places to be confirmed. However, a further
                                                  photo shoot should be planned during the
                                                  February half term in order to add images that
                                                  look more different to each other to create a
                                                  more creative and varied table of contents page.

                                                  If Tommy Hoare and Jack Burton are both
                                                  unavailable, Eros Vlahos will be used as a model.

                                                  Additionally, if one model or more is/are absent,
                                                  an alternative day during the half term will be
                                                  used for the absent model or models’ shots.
