Plan for the 17th of January 2015

Planning

Saturday 17^th of January 2015

 After talking with my sister beforehand and getting her permission we both agreed that the shoot would take place on the 17^th at around 12 noon and will stay till 4pm. I wanted to do the shoot at her home as the natural light in her home is much brighter than mine. But, due to circumstances my home was the decided location. I plan to use artificial light to take my photos as the natural light will not be enough to get a balance contrast and would appear too dark. The rooms that will be set up for the shoot are the living room, kitchen and conservatory. I plan to set up the scenes before they arrive, so I can get any unnecessary element out of my frames. I will be shooting at a relatively low angle, so that I can keep the bear ‘Buttons’ as the main focus of the shoot. I will use other techniques like the rule of third to get a well-balanced image. I only want to include the presence of Harry and not a directed focus on his face, but rather where he places his hands to create a subtle presence. This will show the closeness of own and bear creating a more loving relationship, whiles stress the bear importance. I plan to direct harry on what I want him to do, but still allow him to interact with ‘Buttons’ the way he wants. I plan to follow him around as he interacts with the bear and try to get the day for its perspective. This will create a natural feeling to my images. The only problem I am facing is the weather outcome for the day, as heavy snow is foretasted and may cause problems with my sister’s ability to get to my home. The weather also affects my outdoor shoot for the day as I had planned on having a shoot in the local park at around 2pm. If the weather is bad I may have to change my planning as it would be unsafe for Harry to be out playing in such condition and may affect his heath.  

Things I will need for the shoot:

·         Camera with a spare battery

·         Tripod if needed

·         Toys for Harry to play with

·         Buttons the bear with his tie on

·         Tie

·         Worm clothing for outdoor shoot

·         Winter boot
