- When filming outdoors, hazards could be traffic, pedestrians etc, however when shooting indoors there will be less hazards, the only ones indoors would be wires/clutter.
2) What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised?
- To minimise these risks, I will photograph the model in a more enclosed location, away from busy traffic/the public, and when filming inside, I will make sure the room/studio is tidy and take safety precautions.
3) Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photographs? Have you allowed for this?
- Due to taking photos both inside and outside, I can plan the shoots so that if it's going to be a rainy day, I can shoot inside, and if it's going to be a dry day, I can shoot outside.
4) Have you considered the background, especially if filming outside?
- If filming outside, I will use a background that isn't too crowded, however that isn't completely blank. This could be a few trees, however not so much so that the model isn't the main focus. I will make sure to keep the model as the main focus, so it may be possible that only a small aspect of the background is visible.
5) 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?
- I have considered using a flash light/soft box when working in the studio, and if I wanted a tint of colour I could also use gel filters. When filming indoors, if a natural light source is coming through a window, I can always close blinds/curtains or cover the window with something such as card. When filming indoors, I may use a flash to increase contrast, especially if using a black background, as the model's blond hair and pale skin would work well in contrast. Reflective objects such as mirrors may spoil the effect, so I would photograph the model away from them, or if this isn't possible I would simply cover them.
6) Do you need permission to photograph where you have planned?
- I don't need permission to film at home/outdoors (where planned, as it is a public area) however if I wanted to use the studio I would have to ask permission.
7) Do you need to book time in a room?
- I may have to book time in the photography studio, however if I had free time during photography class (finished work etc) I may be able to photograph then.
8) Are other people/crowds likely to be an issue for you? What have you done to ensure that it will not spoil the effect?
- When filming outside, crowds may be an issue. However I have planned to film in areas that aren't busy, so hopefully I can avoid this issue.
9) 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?
- I am extremely reliant on the model, however the reason I chose this specific person is because when working with them previously (at least 4 times) they have never let me down, so knowing that they are reliable and efficient gives confidence. If an issue did occur, we would be able to reschedule.
10) Finally, have you thought of every eventuality?
- Regarding photography, I have planned many outcomes and hope that the shoot will be successful and I will be able to use the images.
