Photo shoot Planning and Target audience

Planning Record

Student Name: Umar Hassan 

Date and Time: 23-9-14, 10am – 2pm

Theme: Still life

Target Audience  And communication of concepts 

Throughout this photo-shoot, I aim to capture a smart and formal style that will relate to adults and teenagers from the ages 17 onwards from  all backgrounds. the watches that I will be using for my shoot are suited to a formal and casual style, I will try to create a contrast between backgrounds and subject. for example, I will capture a watch suited for a business related style in an outdoor environment such as woods.    

Suitable clothing

Woodlands contain muddy and rocky terrain so I will wear boots, warm clothing, jumpers, joggers and a waterproof jacket. Emergency phone in case of an accident, water and food,

Time of day

Time frame 10am – 1pm Three hours will allow me to travel to my location and photograph still life images Expected weather conditions during the Tuesday morning are: Partly cloudy, temperature – 14c, wind -9mph. 

Location and Transport

I have decided to carry out my shoot in a woodland setting, the closest woodland that I can travel to is Carverley wood in Leeds , this location is not far from where I live so I am able to walk, expected time to reach location is 30 minutes. It’s a perfect area for still life as it contains a river, fallen trees and leaves, rocky terrain and flowers. 

Lighting

 Weather conditions during the day are expected to be partly cloudy but I will be shooting my images at midday the sun should penetrate through the trees, this could help me create shadows.

Low angle can create distorted circles if a low depth of field is used.

Eye level

Distortion, low angle, high angle, depth of field, leading lines, square format , black and white, 

 Goals and Plans for Implementation

 To capture watches within a still life image in a woodland setting, I will use low depth of field, leading lines, low angle and shadows. I may want to wrap a watch around a branch and capture a still life with low depth of field. I could also place watches within a stream this would create a ripple effect within the water depending on lighting conditions. Furthermore I will also use a low angle by placing a watch at the base of a tree and capturing the length of the trunk.
