St. Andrew’s Catholic School – 64135

Location Recce – Unit G321: Foundation Portfolio in Media

LocationTimeDateWhy?

I will take my front over photo on the 6th December because this is when my topics within my magazine will be decided. I will take the photo at school because following XXL I will crop the photo so it is only the artist with no background. I will do this mid-day when the sun is at its brightest so my photo will be bright and clear.

This is the same for my front cover.

This is the same for my contents page.

Picture Needed/RequiredShot TypeProps/EquipmentLightingCostumePerson/PeopleWhy?

My shot angle will be eye level, this is so my model can directly look in the camera so they will have eye contact with the reader. My shot type will be a long shot so I can cature the outfit from head to toe, however I will crop out the backbround. I will be taking my photo with my iPhone camera so I will not require any equipment like a tripod. I will also not require any artificial lighting because I will be taking the photo mid day when the sun light is at its strongest. I will be using Imani Ayimba-Golding as my model and she will be wearing superstar trainers, jeans, crop top and a gold chain for the front cover photo. This is stereotypically what a female hip hop artist would wear. Imani will have dramatic eye liner to highlight she is made up like a model. I have selected Imani because he afro symbioses the stereotypical reader. My pictures for my other pages I will require similar pictures. Imani will be wearing different outfits but will still being wearing my basic requirements of jeans, trainers and a crop top.

For my double page spread Imani will be wearing a bomber jacket, as they are a must have item this season and she could be seen as an fashion inspiration. My shot angle will be eye level so I can capture Imani silhouette and outline, as she will be standing side on for some of my photos.

For my contents page my photo will be taken straight on to capture her full outfit. For my contents page Imanis outfit will be more dressy as she will be wearing heels. This is because Imani is famous and is seen to be living a lavish life style with lots of parties.

Permission NeededContact needed to be madeEvidence of this?

I will need to require permission from Imani herself and her parents, as a parent or guardian must give consent on their behalf due to Imanis being under 18. A model release is a confirmation of consent given to a photographer by the person in the photograph

This is the same for my front cover beause I am using the same model

This is the same for my contens page beause I am using the same model.

that the image may be used for various purposes. Members of the public do not need a permit to shoot in public places however due to I am shooting within school grounds I have to ask permission from the head teach of St Andrews school.

Potential Hazards/Risks To prevent hazards I will insure that my model is standing in a safe environment. By this I mean that Imani is standing on stable ground with nothing in her way, such as lampposts, rocks, and signs that she could potentially knock into. If I was using equipment I would need to securely place it on a level floor so it wouldn’t fall over. This photoshoot is very low risk.

Locations specificWhy?

I have selected my school because it doesn’t require me to organise any transport for myself the photographer or the model. A benefit of using the school is I know it very well, this means I know locations which I would like to use, for the example the field because I will have no distractions, plenty of space and no buildings blocking the sun light
