Week plan for my model's outfit for nextweek

Clothing: Firstly My model will be wearing a dress with a splash of dark red/burgundy, brown or black tights, with heels and necklace and gold hoops. With a prop: headphones and a red  bag.  Next my model will wear a black leather waist jacket  and a black with wave patterned skirt , with black/brown tights and black heels, with prop.

 Make up: white/gold eye shadow, black eye liner, powdered make up and concealer, pink blusher, pink/red lipstick.  

Camera Eye contact: Towards the camera in the Front Cover, The right hand side and left in the Double page spread. The contents page main model should be looking at the page numbers on the left of the page as this would be the first section the audiences will more likely to look at because the model's eye contact will be their first connection.

Hair: Straightened hair

We are going for an attractive and eye catching but natural look.

Photography Studio & Camera Angle Shots

Camera settings

A and S are dials on the Nikon Camera

S FOR Shutter priority : I realised that the time the shutter is opened, there is a slower speed and the longer the shutter is exposed to light resulting in a brighter image. The shutter priority is effective for the foreground (certain body features) to be focused in more detail while the background remains less concentrated.

 The faster the speed, the quicker the shutter is opened and vice versa.

A FOR Aperture : The Aperture setting you chose will impact on how big or small the lens within the camera gets.The size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken.  The larger the lens, the more light that gets in and the smaller the lens the less light that gets in. Aperture is measured in 'f-stops' e.g. f/2.5, f/5.6, f/5.3.


Depth of feel is when the foreground and background are similar and shallow depth of feel is the foreground and background have a different look and feel to it. At the back of the trinity camera is the flash. The flash light is used to freeze a mobile shot.
I will be using the shallow depth of feel first and see the outcome.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The round objects are called the 'Reflectors' and they are either in gold or white. The gold reflector is used to reflect a warm glow on the model's face however, the white reflector is used to emit greater light.
I will be using a golden reflector to my model's face to make it look natural and have a light glow to it to make it look plausible. 

 The DSLR cameras, I will not look through the main screen view because I won't be able to see my model clearly so, I must look through the view camera, position my model 6 foot in front of the backdrop (main background). The difference between manual and non-manual cameras is that, with manual you won't hear the beep as you take the picture but with non-manual cameras you will hear a beep. 

 The shoot is on Nikons D7000 18 mega pixels DSLR

There are two forms of photo shoot backgrounds and these are the white black drop and the black white drop.  I will be using a black backdrop for my front cover page and my main model in the contents page. The white black drop changes the format of the background to white while the black back drop transforms the colour of the background to black, use flash while taking photos; Soft boxes are used to soften the light reflected on my model. However, umbrellas can also be used as an alternative to soften the light but Soft boxes are more effective.The fans in the Soft boxes are used to cool down the surroundings. Also the mechanism Godox (transmitter) behind each Soft Box is used for infra-red (sends a signal) lightening.

When I Press 'test' to the start the camera, I notice that 1 is the lowest flash number meaning it is the lowest light intensity; 6 is the highest flash number meaning that there is a bigger contrast. 

        

                               

Ideas for model angle shots.

I chose these model angle shots, to give myself an idea of what poses and facial expressions which will connect to the audience. I have decided to take a medium shot for my front cover because it will be different from the case study on the Q magazine which  are usually closeups and also the direct eye contact to the reader is fierce. The CU  (closeup) would be useful for my contents page and double page spread because the eye contact and  postures, gestures are strong and simple and this is something I will express in my magazine. To give an eye candy and eye catching feel to optimism.
