3. Locations
• Wheldrake woods – wheldrake woods is an easily accessible
place for me that also has the properties I want when filming
for my showreel and my portrait photography. Wheldrake
woods is a free public place that is in walking distance for me.
I problem I may find is the fact that it is open to the public,
however the grounds are large enough that I am able to find
a quiet place for filming. I want to bring 3 people here to
shoot so that everything I shoot here is not to like one
another. It also gives me a chance to shoot with multiple
people in shot. The people I have picked for this location, also
have great accessibility as it is in walking distance for them
too. I want to shoot some photos of my models against to tall
trees to make them look as small as possible while also some
close-up shots with a out of focus background. I want to
include in my showreel some footage of the models
exploring. A key property to filming in the location will be
lighting. I want to get there when it has lots of light but also
have the opportunity to film in sunset lighting to see if I can
get some aesthetic footage in a different lighting setting.

4. locations
• Crockey hill woods – this is a back up place
for the wheldrake woods. Once again this
place is easily accessible to me and doesn't
coast any money for travel of use. This
location also has fields nearby that can be
uses however I will only be using them
depending on what condition they were in. I
would like a model stood in the middle the
archway created by the trees in the second
image to once again, show how big nature is
compare to humans. Due to this being such
an accessible place to me, the weather
shouldn’t be an issue as I can simply
reschedule my shooting time if inconvenient.
I would like to see if I can capture some rain
in the middle of the woods and I would use
this location to do that as the trees are closer
together which helps protect my camera
equipment against the climate.

5. Locations
• Leeds stylus – University Union. Stylus, lifton Pl,
Woodhouse, Leeds LS2 9JZ (capacity 1000). Suggested
queuing is 1-2 hours before doors opening.
• Leeds o2 academy – 55 Cookridge St, Leeds LS2 3AW
(capacity 2,300) suggested queuing is 1-2 hours before
doors opening.

6. Location
House – no limitations besides from lighting that can
fixed with a led lighting setup (will insert images)
 Bedroom – this will be for small filler footage in the
showreel. For example I am thinking about filming an
alarm clock going off and that would be filmed in a
bedroom of my own home
 Kitchen – this location will be used to film filler footage for
the showreel. For example one of my models sat at the
table eating by themselves
 Bathroom – this location will be filmed for water
movement, a reflective mirror scene and any extra bits.
The room is used with natural lighting

Equipment

9. Facilities
York college studio – this facility I will take most of my portrait pictures in this
facility as it provides good lighting, a good backdrop and necessary equipment. It
also is practical as I have support nearby and the desktop I am editing on in reach. I
will use the class room a few doors down to edit my photos and edit my footage.
Home studio – I am setting up my own home studio that I am able to shoot at.

12. Props/Costume/etc
• When I was looking at inspiration
for portraits taken in a studio, I came
across a lot of photography to
advertise indie rock music which
showed a lot of different
characteristic, for example, lots of
leather and slick hair. One of the main
characteristic shown were sunglasses
to hide some of the models faces.
Sunglasses are going to add some
color to the images and add some
more shapes to the image. The two
shapes that will be created will most
likely be a square shape to follow the
rule of thirds and circles due to the
wide camera angle lenses. The glasses
will either add to the circle shapes
created to take away some of the
rectangular shapes. Sunglasses can
also frame certain peoples faces well
and make them feel more confident
which is a feeling I want to create
when looking at the portraits.

13. Props/costume
• Part of the costume I really want to add is leather. I
really like the look of how leather can be both masculine
and feminine and the piece of clothing is good starting
point of blurring the line between all genders. The
leather can look both elegant and casual. Leather can
give the look of a vintage (like an American diner classic)
or something much more sophisticated (the matrix
costume). It also goes with everything so my models can
match it with all clothing. Another factor in why I want to
shoot with leather is it goes well with the sunglasses and
follows the indie rock music characteristics that are
currently popular.

14. Props/costumes
• This is something that I want to
experiment with. It is purply to
capture really simple pictures and
neutral colours. It also helps the
models relax and feel more
comfortable. If I was to add a chair
I want it to be a think stooled chair
so that it doesn’t make the picture
really square.

15. Visual Planning

16. Shot list
through used
images to
portray colours

17. Music
• Sites to use for non copy right music:
• Uppbeat – this site I am most likely to used as
it have found more range of sound on here.
• Universal production music – cleared for
media use
• Artlist

18. Shot list
Sat alone at table with
lighting coming from
the ceiling (wide angle
camera far shot)
Refection in bathroom
mirror washing face

Water from the sink to
play with speed and
shutter speed of
camera (using a macro
lens so close up)
Turn off morning alarm

Walking in the woods to
show how large the trees
are medium close up to long

motion (using macro
lens so close up from a
side view)
Experimentation
with macro lens

19. storyboard
With the concert photography I want a range of medium close up shots,
full body shots and close up detail shots. I want them on the crowd an
the artist.

24. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
headaches and straining of eyes from
computers
take breaks every half an hour and put
laptop/desktop on low brightness
camera equipment breaks either from damage
or water
have the necessary equipment to protect it.
overheated equipment turn off any equipment I am not using at the
time so the don’t overheat
tripping over wires tape the wires to the floor and use bright
colors tape so people will be aware of it
injury while at a concert makes notes on where to get help (security
guards and venue workers.)
