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
