On Saturday I went to brick lane to do a photo shoot of my friend, Tom. I am happy with the photos I took but due to partial closures on the tube we arrived later than I planned and it got dark too quickly to take a lot of photos. After editing these images I am however happy to use one of them for my contents page.
The weather is lovely and sunny today which should be great for my second and main photo shoot of my friend Lara. I plan to feature her on my front cover and double page spread article. I am going to take photos of her in urban industrial locations, natural and beautiful locations and anywhere else I find interesting. I plan to use a guitar as a prop and have asked her to bring several outfits which I chose for her to wear via a Skype call. I will do her make up when she arrives. I have chosen to take these images around where I live so we can go back to mine and she can change into a different outfit. As Lara is going to be my main focus for my magazine it is important I have great variation in locations, outfits, shot sizes and angles. I also want to have variation between photos with direct mode of address and indirect. I chose Lara as my main model for my coursework as she already owns fashionable and indie style clothing and has a naturally beautiful look which I think connotes the genre well. I also think her style will appeal to the target audience of my magazine.
On Thursday I have arranged to meet up with several friends of mine, Sam, Ollie, Harry, Harry and Tom to do a band style photo shoot also for my contents page. I was meant to be meeting up with my friends Ryan, Fleur and Chiara to do a band style photo shoot but they now can't make it. I think I have coped well with this problem and improvised to ask other friends with a suitable look for my indie genre who are happy to help. Also one day this week which is so far undecided I am going to do a photo shoot of my friend Liam.
I have two days this week devoted to media coursework (excluding photo shoots) so I can keep up with the workload. On the day after we come back from half term I am on a college media and film studies trip to New York for 5 days so I know I need to make sure I am up to date in all of my subjects so I can handle the catching up when I return on top of the general workload.
Very good summary of the planning of your photoshoot, I can see a lot of thought has gone into every aspect of your work.
ReplyDeleteYou have clearly linked your approach to your chosen genre and audience, this is very good as it gives purpose to your planning. Add some of these photos to your summary to develop a before and after effect.
