PHOOTSHOOT PLAN

Shot type/angle/ distance

Macro,Flash and Lighting

Background Positioning on front cover/TOC

Details of editing

Medium shot/ Low angle This shot will be taken inside so I will be using the flash from my camera so that the model is clearly visible. Because I am using flash I will make sure I’m standing at least 5 feet away this will allow me to get a clear and effective shot.

The background for this photograph is white back drop. The reason I have chosen a white back drop is because when it comes to editing the photo it will be much easier if I capture the model on a white backdrop. The while background will also allow the focus to be on the model and only the model.

The position I will place image on the front cover of the magazine is in the centre and slightly to the right. I have chosen it to be placed this way so that the focus is still on the model but there is enough space for the left third.

I plan to edit the image on photoshop using the magic wand tool which will help me erase the background neatly.

Medium shot/ Low angle This shot will be taken inside however I still want to flash so that the model looks illuminate and the clear focal point of the magazine. The lighting and flash should help create/emphasise that edgy, rock feel to my magazine.

I would like a plain background for this shot as I do not want to remove any focus away from the model. Therefore using a plain background will help create a focal point. I would also want the background to contrast with the models outfit as it will emphasise the rock nature of the magazine.

The image will be placed in the centre of the magazine which should help create a central point to my magazine. By placing my magazine in the centre it would allows my magazine to follow the form of real media.

If the flash does not work the way I first intended it to go them I will have to brighten up the photo on PhotoShop so that the picture looks professional and neat.

Medium shot/ Low angle This shot will be taken with natural lighting but if the lighting is poor then I will use flash. I’ll make sure that I am positioned at least 5 feet away. This is so that I will be able to get a clear photo and making sure that the that image is not wash out by the flash

The shot will be taken behind a gate so that the image will look as if the model is behind bars. This should hopefully emphasise the rock, grunge nature of the magazine. It will also show the magazines hard, rebellious edge hopefully enticing the young readers.

The picture will be the main image and it will appeal to the target audience as it is enticing them to purchase the magazine. But the rebellious edge of my magazine should also encourage new readers.

I’d make sure that the area is clear of any mess and unnecessary objects. If there is any dirt on the bars then I shall use my Photoshop editing techniques to clear that away and make the image look as neat as possible.
