Monitoring Post 14/01/2014

This week I planned to finish my schedule, and upload my planning documents to my blog. I also wanted to finish the planning documents which I had not completed for homework so that they were all finished. Due to the two closing days on thursday and friday we only had one two hour lesson this week and this would be used as a mock exam. Throughout the exam I had planned to write one of my articles ready to input once I had created the basic layout on InDesign, however I thought that this would be an inappropriate waste of my time at these very early stages and that I should complete the article for homework over the next week due to the days off on thursday and friday. I instead decided to finish my schedule during the two hours and upload it to my blog. I also thought I could upload some of my planning documents to my blog such as Model Release Forms and Photoshoot Plans. I successfully completed my schedule and uploaded that onto my blog and uploaded two photoshoot plans and had my model release forms completed by my models. These were then scanned in ready for uploading to my blog along with the other planning documents. Over the closure days, I plan to complete my Risk Assessments for my two locations, and complete my RECCE document, I will then upload them to my blog also to assist the other planning documents.

The model for the front cover will be wearing a classic shirt and using a wide brimmed hat to create a powerful, elegant look.

Studio shoots: what kind of lighting?

This photo shoot will use butterfly lighting as it is a flattering style of lighting and I want the lighting to be spread evenly across the photographs to create a professional studio finish with no shade.

Backdrop:

The backdrop used for this image will be white as it is important that it allows all of the images to have even lighting, also white will complement the butterfly lighting allowing an even finish to the photographs and white will make the images look the most professional.

Lighting equipment needs:

For this photo shoot I will only need the three lights provided and set up in the studio and the flash lighting kit.

The costume needs will be the models own clothing as the article is about their wardrobe and how they dress. For the collaged photographs the model will be wearing a plain top and jeans so it doesn’t distract the eye. In the other photographs the model will be wearing different outfits, a regular everyday outfit, a smart outfit and a going out outfit, to show development and change.

Studio shoots: what kind of lighting?

I will be using butterfly lighting for all of my images as I do not want shadows I want the photographs to look crisp and professional. I will be aiming for close up photographs like the middle one earlier shown and other photographs throughout the article will be full body shots and close ups as such.

Backdrop:

I will be using a simple white backdrop for all of my photographs for this article as I want them to look like they are professional and shot in a studio and dressed with props as I wish.
