Revisited Recce

the ‘recce’
For my Recce for the revisited magazine it will have mostly the same potential problems and solutions as when I first created the magazine.

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)?
There could be a potential for the models to trip on camera equipment and/or props that are being used.

2.    What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised?
I will keep the camera equipment and props off the floor or out of the way of my models.

3.    Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the photos? Have you allowed for this?
Time of day won't really effect my images I will taking my images in a studio so I will be using studio lighting for my images. I will have to make sure though that the lighting doesn't become overexposed and look unnatural though as I am taking them inside in a studio.

4.    Have you considered the background to your photos, particularly if taken outside? How will you ensure you will get the background you want?
For my background I have considered of the possibility of the background ruining my photograph, so I have decided to have a plain background so it, will be easy edit as in the studio there is a proper place to take images which has a white background so it should be easy to edit and 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?
I have considered the lighting and I will be using lighting equipment to substitute for the natural lighting, but making sure that it doesn't become overexposed or unnatural.

6.    Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind?
I didn’t need to ask for permission to take photographs in the place I have in mind.

7.    Do you need to book time in a room (eg the photography studio at Shiney)?
I have booked the studio out to use three times so that I know that I will be able to do my images with enough time so that I don't have rush and if I don't get the right image I can recreate it in another session.

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 will be doing my images in a studio so I shouldn't be disturbed and people shouldn't spoil my images but to ensure that there aren’t other people in my shot so as not to spoil the effect, I will inform others of when the shoot was taking place.

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 be using my own lighting equipment, props, costumes, accessories and shoes. For some of my models they will be using and bringing their own costumes but if they didn't bring the correct costume I will bring my own clothes which will suit what I need for that particular shot(s). 

10. Finally, have you thought of every eventuality…?
I have thought of lighting, props, models not turning up (have other models ready for the shoot), and if there is something that I haven’t accounted for I have already arranged to do another two sessions in the studio so that I know that I will be able to do my images with enough time so that I don't have rush and if I don't get the right image I can recreate it in another session.
