1. Unit 57: Photography and Photographic Practise
Project Proposal
(P2, P3, M2, M3, D2, D3)
Candidate
name:
Theme: Music Magazine Portrait Photo Shoot
Predicted final outcome
When I have taken my portrait photographs, I will have a wide range of
different shoots of my chosen artist. I will make the quality of the
photographs the highest as I possibly can, and also make them look
professional and unique. I will open them up in photo shop and edit them to
look even better than they do originally.
Reasons for selection of theme (including inspiration from the work of others)
I have collected a few images of different music magazine covers, with
popular artists on to give me some inspiration and ideas. I will consider what
style and theme my magazine cover shoot will be, and use what’s
appropriate for my idea such as props, location and my model.
I have chosen to concentrate my music magazine on the magazine called
Vibe.
The photo imaging equipment and medium that will be used and why
I will use a Nikon Camera, and adjust the setting to manual so I can set the
shutter speed and aperture at the levels I want, and also the F Stop to a
level I am happy with. I will use props in my photo shoot such as maybe
instruments. I will be taking the photo’s in a very plain room so I can edit my
portraits clearly with no obstructions in the background.

2. Techniques that will be used and how they will help convey the visual
message;
I will use costume to convey the visual message such as what time period
the photographs are set in, the location and what that may mean and also
the props that are within the frame.
Location of shoot The location of the shoot will be either The Cooke
household or Eccles College. My music magazine will
be based upon a solo female singer, the portraits will
of only her in the frame and nothing else.
Risk and health and safety considerations
I will complete a risk assessment
