Production plans with timescale & budget for final ideas - P4 (b)

Budget.

Print advertisement launch dates.

This is a production plan for my print based campaign and this production had to match with a production plan for my TV advert as this is the same campaign.

Launch date is for a print advert is 15/ 04/ 2015.

Production Plan.

The shooting schedule was essential for my project as I was suppose to make all my actors come in the same time. Therefore, this table have made my life a lot easier, as I wasn't sure how to organise all of mine models to come in the same time. Therefore, I have created this chart, shown it to them and this have made my progress a lot better.

Recce sheet. 

This is one of the recce forms which I have done before taking a shots in the studio. In order to make this photo shot successful, I was suppose to finish this recce sheet, as it made me be focused on what am I doing and if i am doing it right.

The photos that we are planning to be taken on the Kent College Rugby field. There are some pictures of this location: Kent College, Canterbury. In the same time, as I am doing a cover photos for the magazine, I will have to do it indoor, as it is really hard to set the right equipment without the hazards for the actual actors. Therefore, I have decided on creating this space in the Kent College Media room, so there will be a plenty of room to work, with, to decrease a level of potentially hazards and protect the equipment of unexpected wind and rain which could break the equipment. I have decided to do my shooting in this place as there are some relevant opportunities for me to use such as a room with a white screen.

In the same time, I have been thinking on making some actions shots of the rugby players that will be playing rugby. This meant that I will have to do a great risk assessment as I will need to protect the equipment and the actors in the same time. In the same time, It will really dangerous to set the equipment outside during this time of the year, as the weather is unpredictable and it could start to rain. Therefore, those shots could be a potential problem for me. This is a potential location for an outdoor shooting: Kent College rugby field.

In the same time I have been planning to take some shots in the film studio (Media Classroom) as I have been planning to do some studio shots as well as the action shots on this pitch. There is a map of this potential location: 

In this screenshot you can see where I am planning to be taking my final screenshots of rugby players. In side this place i will be setting the specific way of lighting the objects called: " 3 key point lighting". This will guarantee me a really high quality of raw pictures which then will help me to do the best possible editing quality. Now I will discuss it a bit more in details.

3 key lighting.

In this project we have used this way of lighting our model. There are some pictures which represent the plan of our shooting and some examples of pictures which I took:

This planning was perfect for my filming as I have managed to do some great shots with this lighting as the lights does not have a lot of shadows which allowed me to create a high quality pictures. This means that it was much easier for me to edit the pictures as there are not any shadows which might decrease the level of the picture. There are some examples of those pictures:

Equipment, props, costume - P2(c)

As I am doing an indoor photoshoot, I am planing to use a white background which will make it easier to remove it if I will be thinking of replacing the background. The main photoshoot is a number of rugby players with a Kent College Rugby top.

3 Key point lighting.

This is a plan for my shooting: 

This planning was perfect for my filming as I have managed to do some great shots with this lighting as the lights does not have a lot of shadows which allowed me to create a high quality pictures. This means that it was much easier for me to edit the pictures as there are not any shadows which might decrease the level of the picture. During my photoshoot I have made some pictures of me doing it: 

 This picture represent the rugby players operating for the shot. Those shots are representing the use of the 3 key point lighting, which allowed me to create those high quality pictures.

As I have moved the actors a bit forward and turn them sideways, I have added one more light as the shadows from the light which was on their back were making a huge amount on their faces. Therefore, this light were essential, as the picture was getting dark and the light on their back  couldn't be switched off as it would create a number of shadows on their back.

From those pictures you can see that I have been using the £ key point lighting, as the I was really focused on creating a high quality pictures as in the future it will help me to edit those pictures, so the final project will have the best possible quality as possible. 

Now I will explain to you which equipment I have been using during this photoshoot. 

Camera - Canon 7D DSLR + Battery

Those images shows the camera Canon 7D DSLR which we have been using nearly at all the time to take those amazing shots. This camera allowed us to take different shots with the use of different lenses.

32GB Compact flash card

This flash card was always in our Canon 7D DSLR camera where the all footage have been saved. After every time we done our photoshoot, we would have to transfer the data to our laptops.

Canon 50 mm f/1.8 mf/af. 

This lens is giving you a normal human eye effect. Therefore, I have been using this lens for nearly every shot I have done. There are some pictures to show those shots:

Canon 18-55mm zoom f/3.5-5.6 mf/af 

I have used those lens to make some wide shots. Therefore, I haven't use it for a lot of my shots, but there were some shots there this lens was essential. There are some examples of it:

Tripod - Velbon DV6000 + carry bag 

The tripod is essential part of equipment as well as camera, because tripod allowed me to steady and focus our camera so the footage will be high quality. Therefore we have made sure that we use it at all the time as the camera will not pick the high quality picture as long as it is focused and ready. There a plenty of different shots that have been done with this part of equipment.

Canon camera bag

Camera bad is essential equipment, because it protects camera in case it falls. Therefore, we have used this bad at all the time during while I have transporting the equipment from different locations.

KIT-N15-DRIVE - Ianiro Gulliver Lighting Kit  

Light kit is really important peace of equipment, which is useful in dark rooms, where you can make professional lightings. I had to use it at all the time, as the actors faces were covered in shadows, but my pictures were requiring a high level of light so it is easier to edit those pictures in the future. There are some pictures of that photoshoot: 

Those pictures were a rough idea of my final project. 

Those ideas have been taken from the previous magazines which had some beautiful  pictures with a great level of editing. This have been a great ways of presenting the product and this is definetly have made a huge difference to the product. Therefore, I have decided to do the same, as this ideas were really influential. This is the ideas of the photos that I am encouraged to do.
