Photoshoot Planning

Photo shoot planning

 

What emotional impact do you want your photography do have upon the reader and how will you achieve this?

I want the photoshoot to seem fun and energetic as it will relate to the type of music this band plays, the pictures will be quite bright, 'fun' looking and silly to give it a sort of pop-punk feel. There will more some more serious natural looking pictures also as it's not a childrens magazine but will be lighthearted enought to fit with the fun interview style. 

 

What personnel do you need? Who are you going to photograph?

 

For the magazine I will be taking pictures of my friend (a 16 year old female) and her sister will help organise the props and ligthing.

 

What props will you need?

For props I will be using an acoustic guitar, a trampoline and a skateboard.

 

How are you going to emphasise colour?

The photoshoot will be quite bright, but with quite soft natural looking lighting. I will probably emphasise the colours on some of the clothes to make them look brighter to stand out and draw attention to the images.

Have you briefed your personnel/models?

Yes I have informed my model/ personnel on what the photoshoot will entail and have both of their consents to go ahead with the pictures.

What lighting will you need? Any other equipment?

 I will be using mostly natural light and maybe a lamp if the area is not bright enough.

Where will you shoot? Will you need a backdrop?

I will be taking the photos outside so I will mostly be using the natural environment rather than a backdrop.

 

Mise-en-scene - Make-up? Costumes? Props?

The makeup will be quite natural but there'll be a small amount of eye makeup and lipgloss. The costume will just be casual clothes to keep with the informal tone of the interview and the magazine.
