Photoshoot plans

The various photoshoot plans includes locations for my photoshoot for the magazine and poster but also for some of the various locations the trailer will be shot in.


Film trailer photoshoot plans



This is the mirror scene I have to take the 180 degree rule into consideration,therefore all the camera places are looking towards the character as I cant film in front of them due to the wall being there. There will no natural lighting as we are indoors but we will have to use the lighting already in the bathroom to recieve the best visibility. High key lighting will be used to display that the scene is significant to show the audience that there is something wrong with the character and the light could possibly help the audience focus on the characters action and that danger is ahead.









This shot will be outside so can make use of the natural lighting during the day. Yet again I will have to use the 180 degree rule, to keep the characters on the right side throughout the conversation between them to make it more realistic. Natural lighting is a good lighting technique because it keeps all the colours in perfect proportion without using editing, but also it is very powerful brightens up the image however when theres sun you can expect shadows, which could damage the quality as in the shot you may see me filming.







There are many subjects in this shot as its a class room scene which features all actors laughing at the main characters clothing. There are various places for the camera to be but one problem could be the middle camera facing the back of the students heads.
In terms of lighting there is plenty of natural light coming into the room without the use of editing and artificial lighting. But on a day with bad weather there is use of artificial lighting to brighten up the image being filmed. This shot could be low key lighting to give a gloomy atmosphere and gets brighter when the character comes in to display how she looks different from the others in the class.


This will involve natural lighting as the shot will be taken outside to keep the colours in proportion but also the two subjects will be filmed at the river, so the natural lighting could bring out the colours of the grass, river etc to make a vibrant atmosphere. The characters will be walking down the path therefore the camera 180 degree rule comes into place involving keep the character in the right place throughout the shot with the use of the three camera opportunity zones.
Could possibly add a red tint in the editing process to give a warm atmosphere to show chemistry and love emerging.






Magazine images
The first image may be used for the main magazine image of the film Romeo Vs Juliet, this will be taken in the studio to make use of the whitescreen to bring the chracters and colours to the foreground. But also makes the image more high quality and professional, so in terms of lighting high key lighting should be used at either side of the subjects to keep shadowing equal and give the image a more vibrant look.
The use of three dimensional lighting gives the characters shape, solidity and depth and brings out the features of the characters faces etc to make them stand out from the rest of the magazine. The camera will be varying in position but inparticular a tilt shot.




This picture is for one of the smaller images on the magazine which depicts the bond like character (red subject box) who will be captured from various angles this is shown through the camera being adjustable. The lighting source will be natural as the image will be taken in a derelict area or photoshopped onto one to create the bond theme. The yellow box is to display he will be holding a prop, the prop being a gun to depict the danger and action in the film.










This will also be a small image
on the magazine featuring Jade Brown who will be taking on the modelling role of a dancer in a new movie she will be faced to the side having one arm touching her hat which will be on her head. This will be taken in the studio to provide the spotlight theme but also to help make the image clearer with the use of high key lighting which will keep the colour's in proportion but also have a spotlight. The camera will be adjustable to be able to find the perfect angle.









Yet again this will be another smaller image of the 'actress' played by
Sophie which will be in the studio to create a glossy professional sophisticated look. With the camera being adjustable I'm going to aim for a medium close up so we can see the 'actress' face clearly with her make up and hair done like a movie star. The high key lighting will provide a spotlight feel to the image.











Movie Poster



This is will be taken in the studio to make use of creating a high quality image to grab the audiences attention. The high key lighting will bring the characters to the foreground and enhance there features making it more vibrant. The camera will be adjustable to be able create various shots in different angles to find the perfect image.

Excellent work. Tell me about the different lighting you're aiming for. You could even do some research on lighting techniques and suggest if or how you will be implementing them.

Some sketches of the actual photographs that you aim to take would be good, supported by annotation that indicates camera distance, angle, mise-en-scene and framing decisions.
