Photo shoot planning document

What emotional impact do you want your photography do have upon the reader? How?

I want to reader to see and feel the working class, rough look and feeling that my magazines put across. I will hope to do this by the images and effects, backdrops and props as well as the sell lines and text.

What personnel do you need? Who are you going to photograph?

I have arranged for 1 model, Callum Burden to take photos of.

What props will you need?

I will try and use a cigarette or a bottle to give the feeling the artist is quite anti-social and working class.

How are you going to emphasise colour?

I will attempt to use contrasting colours so that they stand out more to emphasise the writing, sell lines and pictures.

Have you briefed your personnel/models?

Yes I asked them if they would be available to do the photos and explained to them the type of look I am going for to fit my magazine so they can prepare correctly.

What lighting will you need? Any other equipment?

If I use a studio I will use a variety of lighting to see which one fits and works well, if I do it outside however I will have to use the natural lighting. I may use props but at the moment I don’t think I need any more equipment.

Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop?

I will either shoot in a studio or outside. If I chose to do it in the studio I will use a plain backdrop and then use lighting etc. to make different effects. But if I chose to do it outside I will use a brick wall or a different backdrop to create those effects.

Make-up? Costume?

I will not use any make-up but I will provide some clothes so that the style fits my magazine.
