The proposal

Proposal

Props

I will be bringing in 3/4 items to be photographed for my advert for photography class so I was thinking of bringing in a bottle of mountain dew for a couple of my photographs then I shall use a teddy bear from my house that I’ve had since I was born so that can be the second object for this photography work and also I shall bring in a can of monster I think because that I an evil looking can as a few people associate Monster Energy with the devil and Satan then finally I might bring in a ball of string for my photography work and put it with something else to make the picture look different.

Equipment

In the equipment list I will be using I will need a white sheet of paper so I have a none creased background so the photograph looks good and presentable to be handed in to Mark at the end of this project. Also I will need to have a red head for my lighting so you can see the object and then see the shadow in the background of the object to give it that creepy feeling of something being watched from the shadow. Next we had to use a light stand to hold the red head in place so it can shine the light on to the product I want to photograph to give it the shadow. Also I will need a camera obviously to actually take the photos for my photography work. Finally you will need a SD Card as this is a place you will be storing these photographs.

Location

My photos will be in the studio that I work in normally because it has great natural lighting in most of the room but towards the end of the room towards the classroom next door the light starts to dim as there are not where the light can get in in that part of the room so if I do use that part I will need to use lights like a red head or other ones. Secondly it’s a high traffic area so I may get in peoples way if I do stay in this room.

Photographic consideration

I will need to take in to account the time of day I will be taking these photography’s as if it’s taken a night time the light will not be the best for the photography’s and will look really bad if I do so I will need to take it in the middle of the day or when lights at its best.

Editing Techniques

For the editing techniques I will be use the curves and levels that Photoshop offers so my photos look good and effective if I go with a lighter or darker phase of the image so it looks rather evil and rather good.

What Obstacles Will I Face

Some of the obstacles I might face are people getting in the way of the photographs as I’m in a high traffic area because I’m in between two class room so people will be coming in and out of the room constantly. Also another problem I might face is the fact that the lighting might be awful on that day so I can’t really take the photos that I want to take.
