St. Andrew’s Catholic School – 64135

Location Recce – Unit 13: Planning & Pitching a Print based media product and Unit 14: Producing a Print based media product

LocationTimeDateWhy?

The time had to be a 12:35 as the model John Allen and I both had time to spend doing the photoshoot. Also, it was mid day so that’s when there would have been most light outside.

For the Double page spread we did this in the morning as this is when we both had time and more importantly there was no one else at school in the room so we could spend lots of time getting the right photo.

We arranged to do the shoot on the 9th of January as it was a day when we both shared free periods.

Picture Needed/RequiredShot TypeProps/EquipmentLightingCostumePerson/PeopleWhy?

I wanted to look at john straight on to give a more immersive look to the photo. John had to look straight into to the camera and to smile.For the double page photo I wanted john to wear a nicely designed t-shirt to wear as that would be what a DJ would wear and audience members would also wear.

The lighting was good but not profesional as there were bright lights on the ceiling which made the photo brighter but they I wasn’t able to move them and john had to move to see where the best lighting was.

I chose john as he reminded me of someone who listens to dance and clubbing music as he has long hair and wears similar clothing.

Permission NeededContact needed to be madeEvidence of this?

As I did the photoshoot in school I had to ask permission from the Head Teacher Mr Mitchell. I did this by sending him an email asking for his permission which he replied to agreeing that it was ok.

Potential Hazards/RisksLocation specificWhy?

Flash – Before taking the photos I must be careful that I inform them that there might be some flashes while the photos are being taken to get better lighting. These could not only hurt the eyes of the model if they aren’t expecting a flash but also the model may have epilepsy and an flash could cause some serious health problems.

Tables and Chairs – As I was taking pictures in a study room there were a lot of table and chairs which could have been a tripping hazard, so I was able to move a table and desk so john could stand without having anything in his way.
