Photoshoot Planning

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

The photography used is pretty basic but the black and white themes of the photos will show a little of the sadness portrayed in the article. The reader will reflect this feeling.

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

I am using one model to be the photos, as well as them providing a bass guitar as a prop, and i will be taking the photos and editing them.

What props will you need?

The only prop i will need is a bass guitar, which is used in one shot for the interview, which will be provided by the model.

How are you going to emphasise colour?

To emphasise the colour, i will add layers on photoshop which will make it more vibrant and edit the hue and saturation of the colours. Also in one of the photos, i will emphasise the colour of the model’s shirt by making the rest of the photo black and white.

Have you briefed your personnel/models?

I have told my models where the photos have been taken, what they are for and what to wear to the photoshoot. I have also told them the time/date/location.

What lighting will you need? Any other equipment?

The only lighting i will use in the flash on my camera as there will no natural lighting when i am taking the photos.

Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop?

I will shoot around certain areas of Newcastle City Centre, using the landscape as the backdrop.

Make-up? Costume?

The photographs are supposed to look casual so no makeup was required for the model, and the costume was just casual clothing which is connotated with the genre of music he is in.
