Manchester Photo shoot Plan

Shoot plan [1]1) The shoot will take place in Manchester city center, outdoors and

indoors. (4 each)

2) I will need to use several different types of shots, such as close ups, long shots, extreme close ups and wide shots.

3) I will need a DSLR camera and a macro lens

4) I will be using natural lighting and lighting used from inside buildings if necessary

5) Manchester is a good place to take photos

6) The alternative is if it’s raining we’ll just take indoor shots

Shoot plan [2]8) Avoid traffic and vehicles, not get the equipment wet/lost, stay with the group at all times, always check back to the teacher every so often.

9) The files will be saved on an SD card inside the camera, and will then be transferred back to our computers.

Aim of shootThe aim is to produce a range of photographs to be used as a part of a ‘Guide to the City’ for new students moving to the area. The images will be used in a pull out full color guide and on their website.

Possible locations Research 8 possible locations in Manchester (Chinatown,

football museum, etc) 4 shots must be internal and 4 shots must be eternal Interesting and eye catching locations

ResourcesTo complete the task, our group will require a DSLR camera with a tripod and an SD card, a map of Manchester and a list of locations to shoot at.

Contextual Influences1) I will find 3 different photographers and

research their work so I know what to look for when taking photographs.

2) I will create a Powerpoint slide for each photographer

3) Andrew Brooks, Peter Lik and Henri Cartier-Bresson

[1] Andrew BrooksBrooks’ photography is typically shot at an angle and uses a wide shot of an area or and extreme wide shot of a city, and is usually edited quite heavily to get the right contrast of colors in the photo.

[2] Peter LikPeter Lik’s photography work loves to use wide open areas and shots, specifically natural areas such as beaches and lakes, and is edited a lot in order to create such a vibrant coloring effect, using it so the colors are extremely bright.

[3] Henri Cartier-BressonCartier-Bresson takes photographs in black and white, and most photographs taken by him are from the mid 20th century, particularly after World War 2, and typically consists of people just going about their business.
