Photograph Planning: Rough Cut

Before taking the photographs for my rough cut, I have planned out what I wish to include in them as well as the camera angles and colour scheme.

Front Cover Photo:

• Midshot from a one point perspective
• Subject to the right of the frame to allow for text on the left
• Orangey background
• Subject wearing a parka coat, bobble hat and thick framed glasses
• Stern/serious expression on subject's face
• Upright posture
• Light both behind and in front of subject in tunnel

Contents Page Photo 1:

• Mid shot
• Subject centre frame
• Parka coat, bobble hat, Thick framed glasses
• Woodland backdrop
• Brownish colour palette, sepia filter etc...
• Stern/ Serious expression on face
• Use natural light, but with subject clearly illuminated

Contents Page Photo 2:

• Subject playing drums
• Midshot, low angle
• Slow shutter speed due to dark setting
• Light coming from bottom right of the frame, illuminating subjects face, casting shadow on wall behind them
• Punk rocker-like outfit (Glasses, Hat etc...)

Contents Page Photo 3:

• Close up of subject
• Subject left of frame
• Wide aperture for a shallow depth of field
• Blur background to make setting barely recognizable
• Natural sunlight illuminating subjects face
• Vivid natural colours

Double Page Spread Photo:
