Media Production

Photo shoot planning document

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

I want my photos to emphasise the mood of my genre, which is a very relaxed and happy mood. The photography I use will also be nice to look at and my target audience might find it inspiring. This also has a good impact on the target audience because they may use my images to look up on. I am going to use my photography to also make my magazine appealing and nice to look at, which also might make the target audience happy.

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

I am using a friend of mine as a model for my magazine, here we both feel comfortable and she is happy for me to use her as my main model. Also I am going to use some other friends from my media class to take images of for my contents page so that it doesn’t all look the same.

What props will you need?

I don’t need any props.

How are you going to emphasise colour?

I am going to emphasise colour through clothing, the background and the colour of the text. My model will wear quiet dark clothing, standing against a plain white background, this will really compliment the colours and also make the model stand out. These colours also emphasise my music genre.

Have you briefed your personnel/models?

Yes, my model has a clear idea on what clothing to wear, how to wear her hair and how to pose when I am taking the images, we have also practiced this in class.

What lighting will you need? Any other equipment?

I want the lighting to show a really good quality sharp image so that my magazine will look professional, and it will stand out against other magazines.

Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop?

I am going to shoot my images at St Peters media centre in Sunderland. I am going to use their photo studio so that I can make the most of their equipment.

Make-up? Costume?

I want my models make-up to me minimal but nicely done. She will wear dark clothes that look quiet nice but not so that she looks too overdressed.
