Risk Assessment/ Shooting Schedule
Risk Assessment:
The location where i will be taking the first half of my photos is inside a building, there will be no wires as a hazard, the temperature will not be a problem for the first half of my photos as they will be shot inside, although i will check before hand that the temperature of the room that we are using is warm, acceptable and adequite. On the other hand the second half of my photos will be shot outside in a park called 'Castlefield' in wellingborough which is not far from where i live therefore i will have no problem in carrying my equipment to this destination. Also the equipment i will be using is a tripod for my camera in order to focus the picture clearly and enable me to take photos from various different angles, this will be set up safely and be stable so that it does not interfere with my shoot and the model that will be included.

Shooting Schedule
Firstly I will
organise the equipment that I will need to use whilst shooting pictures for my
music magazine front over, contents page and double page spread. Therefore I
will use my own digital camera that I have to shoot these photos which gives me
more time to take these pictures in as I will not have to book out a camera from
our media room. Furthermore I will also not have to book out the tripod as one
of my siblings is familiar with photography and owns a tripod that she is
allowing me to use. Having both a camera and tripod at home is an extreme
advantage for me as I will be shooting my photos around the area that I live
and not at school, otherwise if I did not have this equipment and had to book
it out for a period of time I would have been restricted to taking my images
around school. Also I will not need permission to take these photos as they
will be shot in a public place and not on private landing. Due to the fact that
I need three different images, one for my front cover, contents page and double
page spread one of my sets will be taken inside and two sets will be taken
outside, therefore I will have to be aware of the weather conditions and make
sure that is the weather is cold outside my model will be wearing a coat and
warm clothing when he is not in mid shot. For my first set I will not have to
worry about the time of the day and they will be taken inside therefore the
lighting is adjustable, yet for my second and third sets I will have to think
about whether I want these photos to be taken in the daytime or evening/night
time as on weekdays I finish school at a certain time and because of the winter
season it gets dark exceedingly early so finding the right time for myself and
my model to shoot may be difficult, however I actually want my images to be
taken in the evening time as I like the dark/ night effect as it shows that I have
thoroughly thought about the image that I want to convey and what type of
photos will portray my genre of music (R&B/Rap). Moreover I think that
shooting these images in the dark will portray a type of mysterious and dusky
tone as I think that these tone’s will show the darkness that parts of
R&B/Rap music entail, I also think that shooting these images in darkness
may go against the usual images that you would see in a music magazine and they
are either taken in the day time or with a white background behind the model
and I would like my images to be intriguing to my audience. ]
Time Schedule
16.00- Give
my model a brief outlook on the shoot, discuss where the shots will be taken,
how long we will spend on each set etc.
16.10-
Choose the three different outfits for my model as he will need to be dressed
suitably for the genre of my music.
16.30- Take
draft photos of my model for the front cover inside.
17.15- Have
an overlook on the draft photos that were just taken and discuss which would
like to extend on.
17.40-Take
final photos for front cover inside.
18.35- Take
draft photos for contents page
18.50-Take
final photos for contents page.
19.30- Take
draft photos for double page spread outside.
19.45-Take
final photos for double page spread outside.
Once the
shooting is over I will overlook the images and narrow them down the 2 images
for the front cover, contents page and double page spread.

REECE
I have decided that my reconnaissance will be done out of school and a mixture of images will be taken inside and outside. Preferably the image for my front cover will be taken inside as I want my image to appear strong and bold and don’t think that if my images were outside say in amongst trees, I would not gain these effects as nature would provide an organic feel which I am not hoping for. I would like to have a plain background and perhaps one object situated around my model such as; A seat, therefore the focus will be mainly upon my model. My theme is black and white for the majority of my images although I would like to have a coloured image so that my images a varied. The black and white images will convey simplicity and minimalism. I also think that this theme will contribute to my music magazine masthead of ‘¶redomination’ meaning to be the strongest or main element and to have or exert control or power, moreover the theme will imply a greater authority to both my magazine and the artist on the cover. I have chosen the colour of black and white as I think that sometimes if you use colour all through out your magazine cover, contents page and DPS it tends to blur the meaning and message that you may be trying to portray. It can also spring confusion upon the eye of the reader and often appears as acquisitive and animated. Therefore providing at least one black and white image it portrays to be direct and almost more personal. It allows the audience to look more deeply into the image and magazine as it is exposed and naked for the reader to examine and search for a meaning.
