Address and map of location.

Birmingham Orminston Academy 

1 Grosvenor Street, Birmingham B4 7QD

Due to my models being students at Birmingham Orminston Academy they have different ways of getting to the academy. However, I will take my photos within the students timetable times so they will already be at there at the time that I will be taking their photos.

Why it’s a suitable location for the scene.

The TV studio is suitable for a couple of our scenes for our music video due to we are able to add in different backgrounds which would best suit the genre of our video.

The studio is also very spacious so in scenes where we need a large group of dancers there is enough room for everyone at the same time without injuring themselves and each other.

The availability of location.

A downfall to using the TV studio is that it is only available for short periods of time. I will have to hire out the room in able to take my photographs and will have to get those done within that time due to the studio being needed for other people.

The time the TV studio is available to everybody within the academy is 9am – 4:14pm, therefore, this evidentially portrays its lack of availability due to multiple people wanting to use the studio within these times also.

Power sources

The power sources that will be present on the day is the camera charging just before I will be using it to take photos to make sure it has full charge to prevent it running out of battery when I am using it.

The lighting that I will be using is another power source and I will be using high key lighting due to it illuminates the faces of my models and creates a more positive atmosphere than lower key lighting does.

Lighting issues at the location

As I have chosen to use high key lighting, the limitation with this is that sometimes the light is too bright on the models faces which washes out their emotions and cannot clearly see their facial features, which makes the magazine look less professional.
