Planning for my photo shoot

When I will be taking my photos I will need to consider who is going to be in my photos? Were will I be taking my photos, will I go to a live concert? Will the picture be posed by a person? Is there going to be any health and safety precautions that I need to take? Do I need a risk assessment form? Will I need permission to use a piece of land? These are a few considerations that I will need to take into account when I will be taking my photographs for my music magazine front cover, contents page and my double page spread. I am going to take more pictures than I need so I have a wider range of choice when I insert my images into my magazine.

For my photographs Tom Shortell and Ryan McEvoy will be posing for my photographs and I will take them outdoors. Mise en scene is important. As I am doing a music magazine I want them to dress in a smart/casual clothing. The location of my photographs is important. I want the photographs to be taken either in the city centre, countryside or in the suburbs. When I take my photographs I will have to look at the environment beforehand and see whether or not there is going to be any health and safety measures that I need to take to ensure the safety of the people involved, this involves my doing a risk assessment beforehand The surrounding of my main image for my front cover I want it to be taken in a public area, my ideal choice would be in a park of some sort. This is because I think it will have a good effect on my front cover of my magazine. For the rest of my photographs I want a mix between the countryside and the suburbs. The camera shot I will use for the main image will be medium long shot because I think this will look good for the main image. For the rest of the images I will use a mixture of medium shots and close-ups.
