2. INTRODUCTION
The image on my front cover will be taken at Birmingham Ormiston
Academy’s Theatre or Green Room. I intend to take similar shots at each
location and decide which one works better. Within the theatre, I may be
restricted to my lighting choices as it depends what is programmed
however in the green room, I have more lighting options and background
options.
Being based in my college, I have no problems with transportation to the
location.
WHY THIS LOCATION?
The background for the shot will be an auditorium of a theatre as theatres
are associated with musical theatre and are part of the conventions and
iconography of my genre (when you usually see the theatre, you almost
immediately think of musicals).
AVAILABILITY OF THE LOCATION-
The availability of the location should not be to much of a problem
however the BOA Theatre regularly have productions and exhibitions on
therefore I will need to discuss a time. The events usually take place on the
therefore I should be fine in the daytime. The Green Room I will also need
an appointment for.
POWER SOURCES-
I have power sources available to me at these locations. I will ensure I am
always working safely making sure I do not “over-plug”, there is no water
near sockets, nothing near the lights, etc.
LIGHTING ISSUES AT THE LOCATION-
In the theatre, I have control in the lighting to a certain extent (depending
on what is programmed), there is no natural lighting in both locations
therefore I will ensure I have 3 key lighting. I plan to have my key light as a
spotlight, as my model will have her back to the camera, I do not need a
fill light. I will experiment with the angles of the lights and the colour filters
on the shot.

INTRODUCTION
The photograph on my contents page will be taken in dressing
room like setting that also links to the genre conventions and
iconography of musical theatre. In the production classroom there
are the ideal mirrors with the bulbs around therefore this image will
be taken there.
WHY THIS LOCATION?
This location links to the iconography and genre conventions within
musical theatre. The preferred reading is that the image will link to
the genre and content within the magazine.
AVAILABILITY OF THE LOCATION-
As long as there are not any classes in this classroom, there is very
open availability.
POWER SOURCES-
There are power sources available and I will work safely with these.
LIGHTING ISSUES AT THE LOCATION-
My key light will be the bulbs around the mirrors, I need to test the
lighting in here and see if only using the bulbs will work. They are
made to fill the face therefore I shouldn't’t have a problem.

INTRODUCTION
The photographs in this article will be taken outside on the West
End strip and outside theatres. WHY THIS LOCATION?
This location links to the iconography and genre conventions
within musical theatre. The preferred reading is that the image
will link to the genre and content within the magazine.
AVAILABILITY OF THE LOCATION-
My availability to this location will not be a problem
POWER SOURCES-
I will not have any power sources available and I will therefore
need to charge my devices and have storage on them before
hand.
LIGHTING ISSUES AT THE LOCATION-
I am not in control of the lighting for these pictures. Some will be
taken on the night, others in the day so lighting will vary. I will
also have to check the weather as this will affect my lighting.
