Location Recce – Unit G321: Foundation Portfolio in Media

LocationTimeDateWhy?

I will take the picture for my front cover and DPS in my house in Epsom on the 24th October, as it is easily accessible and has natural and artificial lightning to experiment with.

The contents page will most likely feature a picture of me attached to the editors notes section of the magazine. I will take this picture at home as it gives me freedom to experiment with time and lighting

For the other pictures I would like for my contents page, I will need to take them at school as there is a wide range of people at school and everyone will be there at the same time. I will aim to take the photos on the 26th October after school at about 3:05pm

Picture Needed/RequiredShot TypeProps/EquipmentLightingCostumePerson/PeopleWhy?

Front Cover- main image/dps imageFor the front cover of my music magazine ‘Maestro Magazine,’ I would like to take a low angled medium close up picture of myself to feature as the main image. To take the picture I will use my IPhone 6, which uses an 8 megapixel back camera and my gorilla tripod, which I can attach to most surfaces. I will most likely use natural lighting for my front cover, to bring out the colours and facial features, this will also reduce noise distortion. For the front cover I will use myself as a subject as I can pose to how I want to and I do not require to make any arrangments with other people. In the medium close up, I will most likely be holding an acoustic guitar to make me look more like a singer

Contents Page- Editors notesAs this shot is for the editors notes section of my magazine, the shot will be a close up of myself, the editor of the magazine. I will not require any props for this image, however I will require my IPhone 6 and Gorilla Pod to take the photo as it gives me the option to use the front facing camera if neccesary. I will most likely use natural lighting to give true colour, reduce noise reduction and to bring out facial features. The costume for this picture in the magazine will be different to the main image, to portray myself as two different characters. I may where a baseball cap and a jumper to emphasise the different that I am playing two different characters.

GeneralThe picture will be of my friend Sean Wayne and I will most likely take a landscape close up as this will fit in the appropriate part of my contents page. As he will be portraying a singer songwriter he does not need any specific clothing and I will most likely use artificial lighting in the media corridor. To take the picture I will use my IPhone 6’s 8 megapixel rear camera, as the quality is good and it as an auto exposure feature. Sean has the facial features of a singer songwriter and so would be ideal to feature on my contents page.
