Casting

In this post I will describe what makes my main model and actor suitable for my magazine cover.

Location Information

   The point of this post is to make me identify the places where I want to shoot photos to use in my music based magazine cover and the double sheet spread article. I have an idea about the locations that I want to use, but by making this post I can assure the best places for me to take photos in to have the best outcome possible for my post.

Useful information:
   Model - Adam Taylor
   Genre- music magazine
   Colour scheme - Gradient of a light colours to a dark colours
   Time - during weekends preferably
   Place - 60% it will be in school and 40% at Adam's place

Adam's Living room



This was the initial place where we wanted to take the pictures, but unfortunately something happened and we weren't able to meet up and do this, so we decided to take the pictures at school.
The only problem with this place is that me and Adam live quite far away from each other which will make it quite hard for us to meet up. 

Locker Bay



After we failed to meet up, we decided to take our photos in school. In our opinion, the locker Bays were not a bad idea, but we decided not to take them here due to the bad lighting and background.

Green Screen in media class



A green screen. Such an obvious idea. How did we not think of this? Oh wait...This was the first place that we wanted to use, but I wanted to get fancy and original. In the end, after numerous failures we decided to just use a green screen and change the background to brown. Good lighting, place and camera, the only problem was that we could get in this class only once a week.
   


   

Schedule

TASK 2 - Create a calendar that highlights your chosen production /photography / filming dates and activities.
    Make sure these are realistic so that you can stick to your plan as much as you can.

Plenary

• Why do you think it's important to produce a schedule of activities when working on a production?

If you make a schedule before you start your actual task than it will be easier to manage your activities and so you can be more organised with your tasks, helping you save time.

• Name 3 activities you're likely to struggle with?

-The creation of the magazine cover in photoshop.

-The creation of the double page article in photoshop.

-The management of my time for each individual task.

• What are you going to do in order to achieve these difficult activities?

-I will try to use photoshop a bit more so that I get used of it, making it easier for me to create my magazine cover and double page article.

-I will do all my activities, trying to give each of them as much time as I can and at the same time  I will be trying not to fall behind my classmates.
