2. Practical and technical problems
Flat camera battery – charge and carry a spare
Corrupted memory card – back up to computer
New techniques needed for Photoshop – Follow tutorials spend time
practicing
Lack of ability with camera – Follow online tutorials, use tutors help or do
research
Computer work deleted or corrupted – Back up to flash drive, one drive or
college file share
Camera damage – store correctly, use strap and use the cases and protection
provided
Equipment damage e.g tripod – store correctly, use in safe environments and
on correct surfaces
Software not working – have something else ready for production
3. Theoretical Problems
Rain/bad weather – bring an umbrella or wait for better conditions
Finding models – use friends, family and course members
Transport to york – buses, friends cars or parents
Cost of buses – use money or parents money
Model not turning up – ensure there is back up options
Fire risk in studio- make sure to follow all the correct rules and not leave
equipment on unsupervised
Carrying models clothes around – use a car or various bags
Rough terrain or uneven ground – bring various tripods and equipment for
good shots
Bad lighting – use various lenses, go at a different time, use lighting
equipment
4. Equipment
• During my project I will be using various equipment to
capture footage, edit and design my magazine. Of course
this means I will have to prepare to make sure this doesn't
go wrong. Firstly the use of a camera means I may have
issues with both the battery or memory card to combat this
I will be taking spares of both of these and backing up my
photos on to my laptop during the shoot. These will then
also be backed up on to an external hardrive to make sure I
have three copies. I have used a camera before and know
the basics however I will need to brush up my knowledge to
create the best shots possible. Therefore I will be using
various online tutorials before the shoot to learn new
techniques, I will mainly use youtube for this as I think it is
a good place to learn.
5. To prevent damage to the equipment I will use
certain protective measures. To prevent camera
damage I will be ensuring I use the straps and
protective gear/ casing. As for tripods these will
be stored correctly and only used on flat
surfaces and in safe environments. All
equipment will be on hand at all times and
never left to prevent any chance of theft.
6. Software
The software I will be using in this project will
mainly be photoshop and possibly lightroom
during the photo editing stage. Should I
encounter issues with these programs I will have
alternative computers to use. The photos will be
taken in RAW so they are easier to import and
edit.
7. Photo Taking
There is a lot of potential issues when it comes to
the organisation of getting the images. Firstly rain
means poor images and potential damage to the
equipment to get around this we would either wait
for better conditions or carry a large umbrella.
Finding models is fairly simple I will however have
three different groups so that a can use one if
another's not available. Because it is likely the
models may not be able to come to me the three
groups are all living in the area I will be shooting.
9. Article practice
Nike air max day is the yearly celebration of the
Nike Air Max range. Every year on this day Nike
unveils new shoes, special collaborations and
even competitions for designers to create
they’re own shoes. The first Air Max trainer the
air max one, was released in 1987. From then on
it has become one of the most diverse and
popular sneaker ranges ever.
