LO2: Call sheet
Locations
I will take the photos in different areas of Sheffield such
as the City Centre - Matilda St
Model
I will use a friend for one of my shoots
Equipment
DSLR high quality camera, it has a bigger memory space and an
optical zoom which doesn't make the picture pixelated
16GB SD card- to store the pictures and so I can take a lot
of pictures
Tripod to keep the camera still and stop image burring
Props
I wouldn’t need any props for this shoot
Time and date
The pictures are going to be taken on the 8th and the 13th
of February at mid-day to get the right lighting and that’s when the stores
would be open.
Contingency
Weather - If the weather isn't good I would have to take it
another day
If I can't take photos in the location I insisted then I would
have to try and find a different location with simpler things
I would also have to bring a spare battery for the camera
LO2: Treatment
TREATMENT
THE BRIEF
I've been asked to make a series of images that explore and
show the identity of Sheffield that will be used for the millennium gallery
CONCEPT
IDEA
My idea for my final
photos is to show the beauty in overlooked things around Sheffield. I will try
to transform boring into interesting to get people’s attention.
I will use a various amount of photography techniques such
as viewpoint, close up, colour and monochrome. I will use high and low angles, portraits
and landscapes in each different photo. Most of the photos will be taken around
the City Centre, in shops and out and about to show the identity of Sheffield. I
will use a deep depth of field to get everything in focus and a fast shutter
speed to get a still image.
TARGET
AUDIENCE
The target audience for my identity photography will be 16 +
mostly female that enjoy fashion and
art. This is because my photography would include indie fashion and graffiti.
They will already buy the following products; vinyl, record
players, thrifted clothes and art pieces and will like my identity photography
because it almost fits in with everything they would be into.
A demographic is different from a target audience because
the target audience might to be able to afford the product for example a
student with low income. The people who will view my identity photography will
fit into the demographic of a 18 years old with an NRS of DE and would still be
in university.

an optical zoom which doesn't make the picture pixelated

PROPS
AND MODELS
I will use a friend
for one of my shootings as a model
HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.
I will have to get permission
from the model to use them in some photos, to do this I will use a call sheet
Recce forms are
important because it shows me any issues I could have such as aid needed or if there’s
any problems with the location so that when I’m shooting there won’t be any
problems.
Risk assessment are
just as important because they show me the risk that could happen and show me ways
I could avoid them happening .
LEGAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Copyright helps you protect your work and stops people
taking it without permission for example; sound, music, original literacy,
musical or artistic, television broadcast or recording. And if you trademark
your work with an r logo then that warns people that you can take legal actions
against them if they use it.
Child protection is protection for children from violence,
exploitation, buss and neglect. If a photographer is using a child in their
photo shoot they must know the rules for example they must ask per cents for
permission and tell the child that they'll be taking photos of them. They
should avoid including the names of the child next to the photography, use
suitable dress and must only take photos in agreed places. In my photo shoot I won’t
be using any kids so I don't need to worry about getting permission.
Date protection is a law designed to protect personal date
that is stored on a computer. businesses and the government started storing
customers data on a computer in the 20th century such as addresses, names and
contact information but the database are easy to access spit could end up in
the wrong hands. In order to keep information (photograph) safe the
photographer must tell the person they are photographing what they are using it
for, how they're going to store it and how long for. Photography is classified
as data so photographers must always get consent from the person and store the
photograph safely because too easy way to identify someone. In my shoot I will
be using model so I would ask her for permission, store the picture in a safe
place and not include her name next to the photography.
You don't need to get permission to shoot in a public but if
they need to be standing in a public land to take shoots of private places such
as buildings. However you're not allowed to zoom into people’s faces who don't
know they are being photographed or use a telephoto lens in public. For my
photo-shoot I might be going to privet places so I would have to get permission
before I do a there won’t be a load of people but if there is someone there I
would make sure I don't get them in the shoot.
I must also not use any negative stereotypes such as races,
religions, cultures, ability, and disability to not offend anyone. I'll also
try not to misrepresent anything to not give off the wrong representation.
CONTINGENCIES
Back up idea one: Name – Nature.
Genre- Nature
photography.
Shot types - Close
up to get all the details and texture of the plants.
Composition -
Photograph a light flower/plant against a dark background / choose a
interesting background.
Shutter speed/
aperture - I would set the f stop no
larger than f/16 so I could get the main subject in focus and a fast shutter
speed 1/250 or faster because when you zoom in with a long focal length, the
slight movement could come out with a blurry and not sharp photo.
I would take
pictures of Sheffield's nature. I would go to the water garden in City Canter
and take close up Shots of the plants there to represents Sheffield health and
nature.
Back up idea two: Name - "Art" as graffiti
and fashion is a form of art and its used to express yourself and that's what I
want to achieve with this idea.
Genre - Street and fashion photography.
Shot types - Wide
shot and an eye level angle to get in all the outfit and graffiti.
Composition - Simple composition - the person that would be
wearing the outfit would be standing in front of the graffiti I’ll try
different types of poses to not make it look too dull and boring.
Framing - There will be no framing.
Shutter speed / aperture - f/22 to ensure every part of the
picture was sharp and a shutter speed of 1/200.
I wound to combine fashion and street art together because
they both represent Sheffield with graffiti, everywhere you go in Sheffield
you'll find art, graffiti and wall murals on sides of pubs, derelict buildings
or shop shutters making Sheffield more creative
and interesting place and so does fashion, both put together will make a
powerful and unique photos.
LO2 : Initial ideas
Idea 1)
Genre - Street and fashion photography.
Idea 3)
Name – Nature.Friday 19 February 2016
LO1: Photography and compassion
Leading lines
Leading lines are lines within the picture that lead the
eyes to another point of the image. For example the parallel lines of railway
tracks lead your eyes away towards the distant horizon are used a lot. It’s one
of the most effective compositional tools available to photographers because
our eyes are naturally drawn along lines and path in photos.
Rule of thirds
Rule of third is breaking down a picture into 9 parts both horizontally and vertically. It creates a sense of balance and complexity without making the images appear too static or busy.
Depth of field
Depth of field is how sharp or blurry the area behind a subject. The aperture on a camera lets more or less light in depending on its length, the lower the f/stop the more exposure (larger aperture) and the higher the f/stop the less exposure (small aperture)
Framing
Framing is when you use the surrounding to frame the centre of interest
Viewpoint
Viewpoint is the position from which the photograph is taken. It could be from above, below or eyelevel.
Cropping
Cropping is when you remove the outer part of an image to improve the framing.
Lighting can highlight particular part of an image that will
be seen more easily by the audience. Shadows and silhouettes created by the
direction of light can also create visual interest and mystery in a photograph.
The difference between a light part of an image and a dark part of an image can
add drama and emphasise certain parts of an image. Light objects should be
photographed against dark background.
Exposure
Exposure is the correct amount of light needed to fall on the image sensor to capture the perfect photograph.
Aperture
Aperture is the small opening where light passes through the
camera lens. The lower f/stop gives more exposure because they represent the
larger apertures and the higher f/stop gives less exposure because they represent
smaller apertures.
Shutter speed
Shutter speed is the length of time the camera shutter is
open to expose light in the camera sensor. If the shutter speed is fast I freeze
the picture but if it’s slow it creates a motion blur.
Orientation
Orientation is the way you take and display your
photography. You make chooses on how you want to take your photos such as
vertical or horizontal, portrait or landscape mode and if you want it online or
in a museum
Lens types
Macro lens - these are used for close up photography such as plant ad flower photography.
Tilt and shift (TSE) - this type of lens is used for making
tilt and shift photos or videos such as buildings, key stoning and correcting
perspectives.
Wide angle lenses prime and zoom - is a wide angle lens used for photographing landscapes, documenting and capturing visas. They are mostly used in Canon, Niko, Sony, Panasonic and Pentax cameras
Telephoto prime telephoto zoom - these are used for action and sport photography, wildlife, events and journalism photography
Standard prime and standard zoom lenses - these are general use lenses use for portraiture, vents, editorial and photos journalism and wedding photography.
