The ‘recce’

Provide answers in paragraph form to the questions below that

are relevant to your production.

1.    Are there any potential hazards that could pose a health and safety risk where your photo shoot will take place (trailing cables/traffic/other objects )? No, there aren’t

2.    What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised?  I will make sure there are no wires trailing across the set

3.    Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this? The photos will be in an indoor studio so the weather will not matter.

4.    Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? How will you ensure you will get the background you want? The background will be white, it is easy to edit, and also it will look professional.

5.    Have you considered lighting? What about the ‘problems’ of natural lighting, either outside, or streaming through a window? Will you need to use a flash? Have you considered reflective objects that might spoil the effect? The lighting will be soft, using a soft box to light the figure and a spot light to light the back. I will use flash.

6.    Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind? No I don’t, I can take pictures here.

7.    Do you need to book time in a room (eg the photography studio at Shiney)? No I do photography class so I can take pictures then

8.    Are other people/crowds likely to be an issue for you? What have you done to ensure that it will not spoil the effect? I have people to pose for the pictures

9.    Are you reliant on lifts/props/friends’ equipment/models? How have you planned that these things will come together at the appointed time? Plan B? I will take them in lesson time.

10. Finally, have you thought of every eventuality…?  Yes I have thought of every possibility and I think this will work out well
