Planning Task Five: Photography Planning

 Planning Task Five - Photography Planning

Who will you be using as your models for each photograph?

I plan to include two models for the images of my magazine and website, but I will be sure to include both male and female demographics, and to keep within the 16–25-year-old age range of the viewers of my magazine. I intend to do this, as it means that the viewers of my magazine will relate more to my models, and so more realistic and depictions of models, and therefore more desirable style elements, can be achieved.

 

What thought needs to be given to the following elements of mise-en-scene?

With regard to the location of the photoshoots for my magazine and website, I will aim to find an area truly depicting of the winter aesthetic, and I have an area in mind – a quiet dog-walking area in my local town, which will capture the serene and peaceful aesthetic many magazine images aim for.

With regard to the lighting of my model, I aim to take these photographs early in the day, so that the sunlight acts as the lighting for the photos, whilst simultaneously creating a more natural and serene aesthetic to my photographs.

 

Who will be taking your photographs, and what equipment will they use?

I will be taking the photographs for both the magazine and my website, as I am keen to ensure that the production of the magazine is as representative of my own work. I think I will use an iPhone to take these photographs, as, not only is my iPhone has one of the most modern phone cameras, but it provides ease of accessing various editing software, with all the applications I may need to edit these photos being in the same place.
