To ensue that
my photoshoot is as successful as possible I am planning the event while
considering the following points:
- The equipment
- The choice of model
- Costume list and other mise-en-scene
- The location
To begin, I've decided that I am going to use the equipment from
the college's photography studio and department. This includes state of the art
cameras, lighting and also backdrops. This choice of equipment will ensure that
I represent my target audience to the best of my ability. I will be able to
take professional images which will also represent the genre and purpose of my
magazine. I will adjust the camera's aperture and shutter speed to work with
the department's soft box and other lighting set ups. I will also add a remote
flash to the camera so that I can create images which are industry standard.
This will then leave me to decide which colour backdrop will be most successful
in terms of representing of the audience and genre.
Next I will decide who my model needs to be - I have chosen somebody who looks correct in terms of representing the audience and genre and also somebody who is available at the time of my photo shoot. My model has an interesting appearance and I have chosen her because of her hair colour, her age and also because of her general characteristics. I feel that this will allow me to represent the audience to the best of my ability. Due to the fact that she is young, it means that my target audience can relate to her and also want to be like her - this will allow my magazine to become more popular.
I have decided that my model will wear her own clothes and I
have specifically chosen a 'look' which represents the genre and also audience
through an 'indie' appearance. I have looked at magazine covers from the same
genre and picked items of clothing which fit the general stereotypes and the
common 'look' of the genre. This in turn will attract the eye of my target
audience and it will increase the chance that they will purchase my magazine.
Make-up is another thing which I will need to consider, after having looked at
make-up tutorials I have decided on the style which is most apparent for my
model and also the genre, audience and purpose. I will acquire help when
applying make-up as this isn't one of my strong points - it will also ensure
that it looks correct for the genre.
Finally, I have decided that my photoshoot will take place both
inside and also outside. This will give me a wide range of photographs which
represent the audience and also let me experiment with the shots I have chosen
in my flat plans. To start, I will be photographing my model in doors, in a
specifically made photography studio. This will allow me to create professional
images that represent the audience and also the genre of the magazine.
Secondly, I will be taking images outside so that I can have images for my
feature page. I have chosen a location which represents my audience through the
idea of rebellion in youths - it will be at a site where graffiti will be in
shot. This will allow me to take images which represent the genre, audience and
purpose.
To ensure that my photoshoot goes as well as it possibly can, I have created a list of the equipment which I will need, the location of my photoshoot, as well as the time, date etc, my budget which I will require and also I have specified my model. This list will allow me to become more organised, have a clear understanding of how I am going to represent my audience and also it will allow me to understand further the kinds of limitations which may occur.
