Before we begin our photshoot it is important we consider health and safety;
Are there any potential hazards that could pose a health and safety risk where your photo shoot will take place?As we are taking our photographs outside, in one of the members gardens we have little control over the environment, things like uneven paving, gravel and ornaments could all pose potentional health and safety issues such as trips and falls. Props that we have brought into the garden such as cigarettes and glass bottles could also pose health and safety risks such as cuts and burns.
What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised?In order to minimise these risks we will pick an area of the garden that is free of ornaments plant pots etc. We will also clear the area the best we can removing any potentionally dangerous litter and taking care around th gravel. We will also be careful to not drop any glass bottles and not let the lit cigarettes come into contact with hair, clothes and skin.
Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this?As we are taking the photographs outside we are reliant on it not raining and it not being windy as this will ruin the overall photographs, the costume and the makeup and make it diffucult for us to acheive the effects we wish to. We will be taking the photos late afternoon so we will be reliant on natural light sources and wont need any extra lighting.
Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? How will you ensure you will get the background you want?The background we will be using will be a garden fence. We will be using the fence surrounding one of the members gardens as we have all agreed that this would be the best background to create the image we would like.
Have you considered lighting? What about the ‘problems’ of natural lighting, either outside, or streaming through a window? Will you need to use a flash? Have you considered reflective objects that might spoil the effect?As we will be taking the photographs outside we will relying on natural lighting. We will have to ensure that we take the pictures in an area where the natural lighting doesn't negatively effect the images such as causing a glare on the images affecting the quality or creating unwanted shadows ruining the image.
Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind?We will be taking the photographs in the back garden of one of the group members, we have full permission from her and her mum to use the back garden as the backdrop for our images. This is more conveniant than using a public area as the backdrop as we have more control over the manipulation of the surroundings and we can choose times that work best for us.
Are you reliant on lifts/props/friends’ equipment/models? How have you planned that these things will come together at the appointed time? Plan B?The camera that will be used to take the photo's will be the personal camera of one of the group members meaning we can access the camera and download the images from it at times conveniant for the group rather than relying on others, however we will have to borrow a tripod from the media department which could mean we have to plan when we take the photos around when it is available. As all the group members are friends outside of college and live near each other and the location for the photographs is the house of one of the group members we have all arranged a time that works for us and should a problem occur where this time cant be stuck to by every member communication and re-arranging the photoshoot wont cause a problem.
