Production Log for Test Shoot

17/10/14

In order to be able to take photos for our digipak, we had to create a production plan listing the location we want to take photos in, the actor that we will take photos of and the costume needed along with a checklist. The photos that we will take next week will be based around school due to us testing areas like camera handling, lighting and costume styling. The photos we will be taking for the first few weeks will just be taster ones in which we will develop by reshooting and improving.

Location:

The location we have decided upon, for taking our photos for our digipak, is the drama room in school. This is because we feel that we can really play around with the low key lighting and high contrasting areas. We felt that the best time to use the drama room would be after school as at this time there will be no school kids around and the room would be free.

The second location we looked at was the art gallery in school. As the gallery is white and has the bright natural lighting, we feel that is will give that photo-shoot feel we want to express. Having a plain background allows us to edit any areas of the photos on Photoshop. I think taking the photos of the artists in a photo-shoot context will give a greater impact as the primary focus will be her amplifying the pop genre.

The third location we are thinking to take some photographs are at Danson park. There is a flower section in which we can use as a background and take photos of the artist. This location will be consistent to the digipak of having a floral section.

Actor:

Our main actor in these shots will be the artist(Isabel Beau) who will be a member from our group(Megan Harris). We felt that having Megan be the artist will be very convenient as whenever we need to shoot or take photographs she will be flexible and available; especially when it gets to the re-shooting stage.

Costumes:

We are yet unsure of the costume that we will use. Therefore Megan will take photos of outfits, which she feels fits the artist and genre of music, and send it to us via WhatsApp so that we get a vague idea of what we want the costume styling to be like.
