WHY IS IT A SUITABLE LOCATION FOR THE SCENE?My location is extremely convenient for myself as a student. I don’t currently drive so to take images of location that involve a lot of travelling would be impractical for myself. My preferred location is on site in the green screen which has a lot of availability opportunities. This fits in well with when I have free lessons. This location also has all the equipment I need to produce this photo shoot. This means I won’t have the responsibility of taking expensive equipment off sight.

THE AVAILABILITY OF THE LOCATION The location is on sight and will be used during lesson time, so availability won’t be an issue. It’s available during school hours which is when I plan to do my shoot. If I wish to take my photo’s in a lesson I have free, I will need to check availability in advance and book the space.

POWER SOURCESThere are multiple power sources in this location. There are lots of power sockets to charge the equipment I’m using throughout the process of taking my photos. If my equipment runs out of battery, I will have a power source near me available. To avoid this though, I will charge my equipment beforehand.

LIGHTING ISSUES AT THE LOCATIONThe main issue I can see occurring at this location is when we switch the main lights off and just have the studio lights on. When this happens, the studio becomes a lot darker making accidents more likely to occur. Also, there is no natural light so all light used will have to be artificial. As a result, I may not be able to get all the lighting spot on meaning I’ll have to later edit this on Photoshop.
