The document outlines the planning for a photo shoot location recce. It details that the location will be the photography studio in the art department from 9:45-10:30am on Thursday January 19th. This location was chosen because the photographer is familiar with it and can alter backgrounds/atmosphere in Photoshop. The document also lists potential hazards at the location like tripping hazards, falling shelves, and open flames when taking matchstick photos. Permission is needed to use the space and the photographer's friend Theo will model, using appropriate outfits. Photos will be taken using natural lighting for a soft appearance.

Model
Why?
Shot Type ​- I took a variety of
different shots and angles by which I
then decided to the images that
would help me achieve the
presentation of the model, clothing
and pose
Equipment/ Props ​- Although I did
not include any props as i wanted
the main image to make the other
features; for instance, the Masthead,
stand out.
Lighting ​- I went for a natural
lighting, as my final images would
coincide with the morning light,
which gave my images a more
softer appearance
Outfit & Model ​- My best friend,
Theo Barrett was my model, as this
magazine leans more towards a
male audience. I also aimed to
dress my model with colours and
clothing options that would suit my
magazine House Style.
Shot Type ​- I decided to go in on a
different approach of a close-up
shot type by having a focal of the
match flame which then resulted in
a darker blurred background.
Therefore, I chose this image as my
double page spread, as the colours
would relate to a dark background
and text.
Equipment/ Props ​- As seen below,
the main prop I used for my images
were the involvement of match
sticks. I decided on this image due
to, the large frame, dark scenery
and close-up effect.
Lighting ​- I did not edit this image in
Photoshop as the close up image
provide a darkened image overall
Outfit & Model ​- I stayed with the
same outfit, as this provided a
contrast of the flame.
Shot Type ​- By staying within a
sensible angle; I decided on a straight
eye-level which helped me achieve
the final image shown below.
Equipment/ Props ​- As for my back
page advertisement of a Canon
camera, the ideal prop for this was
easily accessible, as I took my
images in the Photography Studio.
Lighting ​- I stayed within the natural
morning lighting which then provided
a softer tone and effect, that gave a
good contrast of my images.
Outfit & Mode ​- With this final image, I
chose the clothing option of wearing a
pale grey hoodie and the same pair of
jeans; by which I thought looked a lot
better (more softer appearance) other
that the red hoodie.

Hazards
Why?
Tripping hazard​ - Scattered tools,
equipment; which would lead to
accidental tripping as I took my
images in a confined space.
High Shelves ​- Contain heavy as
well fragile equipment for instance,
cameras. Leaning against the
shelves could have lead to the
mis-balance or knocking of fragile
equipment.
Broken Glass ​- From a broken
mirror; which was left unsupervised;
this mishap would have lead to cuts,
trips or sharp debris.
Open flame and quite poor
ventilation ​- Although, I had a
window open, the use of matches in
a small area and quite poor
ventilation would have lead into a
fire hazard and suffocation from the
smoke.
Choking hazard (suffocation) ​- With
the handling of the camera strap, if
worn incorrectly could have led to a
choking hazard and shortness of
breath as the heavy camera would
weigh down the strap.
Broken Glass ​- If the camera was
held incorrectly, the camera would
have dropped and scattered the lens.
If this incident would have occurred,
then sharp glass debris would have
scattered and cut someone

period 2, by which led into break, in
which allowed me not to rush and
get the best sharp shots.

Outfit &
Model
Why?
Shot Type ​- I experimented with
many different shot types and angles
as I wanted to include the expression
as well as the full concept of my
model. For my front cover, I went for
more of a close-up approach by
which the match flame would be the
focal point of the magazine front
cover.
Equipment/Props ​- I include the prop
of using a matchstick which gave off
a large bright flame; Since my second
magazine is mainly aimed towards
the male gender, I decided on a more
“Rebel” aspect, therefore the
involvement of the matchstick flame
was very ideal for my front cover.
Lighting ​- I went for natural lighting,
as the perspective of my photos, with
the morning sunlight presented a soft
and subtle effect that made my
images look more natural, and
enhance the colours more
Model & Outfit ​- My best friend, Theo
Barrett was my model for all three
sections, this is because both my
magazines lean more towards a male
gender audience; I aimed to dress
him with the appropriate colours and
clothes that would suit my magazine
genre well and effectively.
With my second magazine, I went for
subtle colours such as, as grey
hoodie, black shoes and dark blue
jeans; overall these colours for my
magazine compliment the house style
that i would be going for.
Shot Type ​- I wanted my double
page spread to have roughly two
photographs that had different
angles and shot types. Therefore, I
went for a eye-level shot and a
slightly angled up photograph, in
which I was able to capture the full
body shot.
Equipment/Props ​- I did not use any
props for this sections of the
magazine, because I wanted the
photos to enhance the other
features on the double page
spread; for instance, the Pull Quote
and the Headline.
Lighting ​- Following on from the
suitable free period, the angle of the
studio allowed the natural morning
light to enter, which then resulted in
the soft sharp photographs
Model & Outfit ​- I asked my best
friend, Theo to model for me on the
19th as we both had the same free
period 2.
I asked him to bring a red hoodie, a
grey hoodie, a blue and red top,
dark blue jeans, and trainers the
day before
We agreed on this combination as
the colours suit my House Style that
I was going for in both my
magazines
Shot Type ​- Decided that I wanted to
change the angle of view, I went for
an image that had a looking up
perspective because, I wanted to
capture the facial expression and the
image overall looked quite dominant,
which would a great image for my
magazine back page.
Equipment/Props ​- I also decide not
to choose to include any props, that
this would make the advertisement
appear like there is too much on one
page.
Lighting ​- I decided on natural
lighting. The morning sun gave a
subtle effect that made my images
look more natural, and enhance the
colours more.
Model & Outfit ​- Similar to my Front
cover and Double page spread,
Theo was my model as this
magazine leans more to the male
audience
I dressed him with the appropriate
colours that would suit my magazine
genre well and effectively and
compliment the magazine

Hazards
Why?
Open Flame ​- I took my pictures in a
small space, in which the surrounding
objects could have easily caught fired
and led to a fire hazard.
Falling Hazard ​- With the use of the
brown boards as a plain
background. If leaned against, this
would unbalanced the heavy
boards and fall
Uneven Shelves ​- As the department
has a lot of shelves, each containing
heavy or fragile equipment, leaning
against them while try to take the
photos or in general could lead to
the unbalance or knocking things off.
