Risk identified Shooting location

Responsibility Strategy to overcome/prevent

Illness/injury All Me/model

If the model involved is ill, I will have to contact my substitute 24 hours before, or as soon as possible so they are able to fill in and continue the photo shoot. If myself

and anybody else involved is ill then we will have to schedule a later date so that we are meeting the deadlines

in time.

Memory card full/ technical

difficulties with camera or other

equipment

All Myself

I will make sure that there are no saved images on the memory card we are using so we don’t experience a full memory card. A good idea would be too bring a spare memory card so we are able to continue

shooting if it does occur, this will ensure we are on track and can take as many photos as we possible need. Also, if looking back on the photos we can delete any of the ones that are blurry/out of focus or in bad lighting so we can free up some memory to use

straight away.

Low battery All Myself

I will make sure that the camera is charging or fully charged the night before the photo shoot. Ensuring this will avoid any mishaps during and so we are able to continue without any disturbances. However, it’s to our advantage due to being in an indoor location

because we are able to quickly charge it with a nearby plug socket.

Broken equipment

All Myself

Since we are using the college’s equipment on the day and signing for each thing, it Is our biggest priority to be careful when handling and to ensure that we don’t break anything whilst photo shooting.

However, if this occurs we will have to inform the teacher immediately and sort out an alternative source.

If the model doesn’t meet

the expectations for

my magazine

All Myself

I have made sure that my model is confident to re-create any pose/look and is appropriate to achieve what I expect on my front cover page. However, it is my responsibility as the photographer to make him/her as comfortable as possible, and to make them aware of the look I am trying to achieve so they know what they need to do. I printed out some pictures of previous models in a variety of

shots so he/she can act appropriately.

Lighting All N/AI will run a test run to see what kind of environment I will be working

with, this gives me the opportunity to test any of the props or lighting before we actually shoot on the day to achieve the desired

look.

Props All Myself

My photo shoot will be using props In order to achieve my desired look, I have chosen for a drum to be included as to be recognised as

a music magazine. A variety of hair and makeup looks will be re-created on the day to achieve a range of different shots to use, on

both the double page spread, contents page and front cover. If there is a malfunction that cannot be fixed by our own actions then we

can resort to Photoshop to edit anything that doesn’t look entirely right.

Electricals All Myself

As we are using a variety of electrical equipment, we must follow general health and safety regulations throughout the photo shoot.

This is also important for anyone involved therefore, we should ensure that no unnecessary switches are on and the equipment is

turned off after use.

Software All Myself Since we are using software which may not be entirely reliable, it is important that we save our work every 10 or so minutes to ensure

that we don’t lose any of our unsaved work.

Magazine not following

conventions

All Myself As our aim is to achieve a realistic looking professional magazine look, its important we stick to the regular conventions in order for it

to look real. This means we must regularly compare the different magazines to our own to ensure it’s going towards the right path. During my research I looked at some magazines and am aware of

the normal standards in it.
