1. Planning the double page spread image
Agency Name Shutter Speed Productions
Model
Gilles Geary (used as Front Cover Model as well.
The double page spread connects with the front
cover image and headline)
Camera height/angle/distance
Eye Level Height
Medium Shot
5m distance
Additional shot angle: Close Up
Location
1. Next to a red telephone box, which is
usually seen as a symbol of London, and
an urban background, which contains
graffiti or scaffoldings.
2. London Underground
Lighting
The natural light available will be used in the
photo shoot, as the photo shoot will take place
in an exterior location.
Mise-en-scene (incl. props, costume)
A prop of aviator sunglasses will be used.
Costume from front cover photo shoot will be
used, with a black puffy coat worn and a t-shirt
of the Punisher symbol being worn additionally.
Attempted connotation
The attempted connotation that I am trying to
create is that my model, who is posing as a
successful musician/ rock star, is having his first
music tour of the UK, kick-starting in London. The
symbol of London that is the red telephone box
or the London Underground sign will help to
imply this.
I am attempting to suggest Gilles’ ‘cool’ quality
through his costume and the setting of the photo
shoot.
Planned denotation
The planned denotation will be that my model
Gilles will be standing next to a red telephone
box, perhaps leaning on it, and will be standing

2. in front of an urban background. The other
denotation will be that he is standing/sitting
below a London Underground sign so his location
is at a tube station.
Contingency (in case of model absence/weather)
In case the model is absent, a photo shoot will
still take place in the same location but with a
change of model. The reserve model will be Eros
Vlahos.
In case of bad weather (i.e. rain, etc.), the shoot
will be forced to be conducted indoors. The
location will be the corridor of the 4th floor of the
sixth form site of the school, where there is a
large window that has a view of London’s
skyline.
Alternate angle
Extreme Close Up
Low Angle
2m distance
Thinking points: Rule of thirds, White background shot
