6. Reasons For Choice
• The places we chose, we chose because they were areas
we knew and are popular areas to take photos in.
• In the types of shots, we decided on landscapes and wide
shots if we wanted to take a picture of a row of shops, close
ups if we wanted to picture art on the walls and mid shots
in case some pictures have people in them.
• Equipment needed, we only need a camera to take the
pictures and the tripod to keep the image as still as
possible.
• For the lighting, we chose natural lighting since we’d be
doing shoots primarily outside so we’d only really be using
whatever natural light was available. Plus it worked out
easier for bringing the equipment out into Manchester.

7. Alternatives Considered
• Alternatives for the camera, we can easily use
our phones as they’re good enough quality for
the images we need. We could make do
without the tripod if it came down to it.
• Inside buildings, we don’t have the natural
lighting so we’ll have to use the ceiling lights
that are available.

8. Health And Safety Considerations
• Mind our surroundings (e.g. don’t take
pictures on the road, be considerate of other
people).

9. How Files Will Be Saved
• If done on a camera, we’ll be putting it on an
SD card and onto the computers back at
college.
• If done on a phone, it’ll be kept on the phone
until we get to college.
