St. Andrew’s Catholic School – 64135 Location Recce – Unit G321: Foundation Portfolio in Media

Front cover Contents page Double page spreadLocation I will take my photos at school in the drama studio as

I do not need a specific background and the drama studio has a plain white wall and floor, therefore it will give a more professional look to my photos as it will look like an actual photo studio backdrop and will mean less work post-rpoduction cropping out the background.

I will also take the photos for the contents page in school, possibly in the music department to have musical instrements in the photos. I will try to take all the photos I need in the same day to manage time as well as possible.

I will take this photo in a few locations (in school) and choose the best one. I will take one in the drama studio, one outside by the chapel wall as the wooden panals maymake a good background.

Picture Needed/RequiredShot TypeProps/EquipmentLightingCostumePerson/PeopleWhy?

The main image on my front cover will be a mid shot of a boy that suits the stereotype of the rock genre (beard, long dark hair)His costume will be quite casual clothes maybe a branded t-shirt, brands such as vans (as seen on my mood board). I do not need any props for my main image as it will just be a mid-shot of a boy.

I will need a closeup photo of myself for the editorial column on the contents page. Due to the genre of rock this image should be a ‘silly image’ maybe pulling a face. I will also need a large main image possibly trying to recreate an on stage look, so I will borrow a guitar from the music deparment.

For my double page spread I will need an image of 4 boys (boy band). They will need to fit the stereotype of the rock genre. The image will be a long shot as I would like to have their whole bodies in the shot, and possibly be jumping in the air (as if on stage in concert). I will not need any props for this shot. The costume will be fairly casual as most rock bands wear very casual clothing.

Permission NeededContact needed to be madeEvidence of this?

I do not need to contact anyone for permision to take the shots.I have asked kier if he will be the model for my photos and he has agreed to this.

I will need to ask the music department if I can borrow a guitar for a prop in my images.

I will need to ask the people I have in mind for the photos if they would be happy for the photos to be taken and included in my media coursework. See photography plan.

Potential Hazards/RisksLocation specificWhy?

Risk assesment:

I can not see any potential risks or hazards involved in taking my photos as they will be carried out in a safe school enviroment.The only thing is to make sure no other students are about so that we do not disrupt what they are doing and also to make sure we look after the equipment such as cameras and tri-pods.

If I borrow instruments we will need to be very careful not to damage them as they are expensive.I can not forsee any other risks involved as we will be in school.And we will be covered by the schools insurance.

Risk:

Be careful taking the shots of them jumping on stage. In case they fall.Also take care of the equipment we wil be using.
