The Recce

the ‘recce’

Provide answers in paragraph form to the questions below that

are relevant to your production.

1.    Are there any potential hazards that could pose a health and safety risk where your photo shoot will take place (trailing cables/traffic/other objects )?

– Objects in the way might be a potential hazard when taking some of the photos                              

2.    What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised?                                             

– Keep the area where I am taking the photos clear of obstacles or anything that could be in the way that could prove to be a hazard

3.    Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this?

– The photos will be taken indoors so the weather and time of day will not matter.

4.    Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? How will you ensure you will get the background you want?

– My background will be a plain white background, with lighting just say in the image so I will be sure to take care in where I place the object I will use to project my lighting.

5.    Have you considered lighting? What about the ‘problems’ of natural lighting, either outside, or streaming through a window? Will you need to use a flash? Have you considered reflective objects that might spoil the effect?

– I will be using a flash and taking images without the flash to see which looks better when taking the images indoors.

6.    Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind?

– Yes, the places I will be taking the images is my house and my friends house

7.    Do you need to book time in a room (eg the photography studio at Shiney)?

– No

8.    Are other people/crowds likely to be an issue for you? What have you done to ensure that it will not spoil the effect?

– No as the images will just feature one person or a group of people in one area indoors.

9.    Are you reliant on lifts/props/friends’ equipment/models? How have you planned that these things will come together at the appointed time? Plan B?   

– I have organised the date of the photo-shoot so that everyone involved will be available, I also have people that would be willing to help as a plan b

10. Finally, have you thought of every eventuality…?

– yes and everything is accounted for

Photoshoot Planning

Photo shoot Planning

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

I want the images to be strong and have emotion, but at the same time have a level of mystery that will make the audience want to read more.

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

My friend and fellow classmate Mark will be involved in the photos, maybe some of my other friends in other images featured in my contents page.

What props will you need? 
No Props Required

How are you going to emphasise colour? 

I am going to try for a 3D effect for my images to re iterate the fact that this is an electronic and house based magazine so the distorted 3D effect will emphasize the actual music itself rather than me just saying it.

Have you briefed your personnel/models? 

I have briefed my friends on what is going to happen especially Mark as he will be playing a musician who doesn't normally take part in interviews so hopefully that will show when the images are taken.

What lighting will you need? Any other equipment? 

There will be certain lights to highlight one half of Marks face. The photos will be taken at Shiney Row and i want them to be quite professional.

Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop? 

I will be shooting at Shiney Row campus as their studio facilities are perfect for the style of photographs i want to take.

Make-up? Costume? 

I have asked Mark to wear something casual as it goes with Marks character.
