Planning sheet

Subject

The subject for my photography will be based on fashion that may be seen as weird and abit different some may say its a Tokyo style but others may say it seems to be an old american style but personally i think it's a mixture between the both.

Availability of resources

For my photos i am going to need models who will feel comfortable infront of the camera within their own clothing therefore i will find models who have the same dress sense to the style i am looking for. I will also need my canon as it has good camera quality and will be able to make my pictures clear enough for my audience to see. Finally, i will need a suitable place where i can take my photos interior and exterior according to the weather on the particular day i decide to take my photos on.

Bookings

Bookings will not be necessary as i will be using my own camera to take my photos.

Image resolution/ pixel size

Scaling factor is 3 and the image is afterwards down scaled from rendered 2208 × 1242 pixels.

Location

The location in which i will be taking pictures will be in central London, designated bedrooms and a skate park.

Light

I will be getting natural light from being outside and a light bulb inside therefore i will have to take shots during the day light so in between 12:00 midday and 5:00PM. I will also need to make sure i use a new light bulb to make sure that it is bright enough so my audience can see my model(s).

Permissions

The skate park in which i will take photos in is a public skate park therefore i will not need to have permission and for the bedrooms i will just need to make sure there is no disturbance. Within central London i will make sure i do not take pictures within stores as i may need permission but taking pictures within the street areas will be fine.

Risk assessment

-Fatigue; to avoid this all models must sleep on time.

-Capturing the public within photos without consent; I will make sure the area is clear so that people do not complain.

Photography

These three lights work as a unit to brighten up the room where the photography will be taking place. All three lights have different settings; the lowest setting is the darkest flash. The highest setting is the highest flash. Having the lights connect to the camera is more practical because the photographer can do it all whilst holding the camera. The background of the photo shoot will normally be a solid colour. For example white, black. This makes it easier for the viewer to focus on the main image. It also keeps the photo neat because without the background there might be things not wanted in the photo so this covers it.

Dialogue/sound script:

Dance

Presenter/ Interviewer: Dance is a performing art form involving of movement with the human body which creates the beautiful artistic work of dance. This movement has artistic and representational value, it is recognised by dancers and spectators (the audience) within the African culture and those interested in the African culture. I spent day with both dance groups within their dance studio when both dance groups and soon after realised that they both get along pretty well although they may seem as if they are rival groups when they are battling for the title of ‘Who is the best in East London?'

Both dance groups (WANF and AfroUK) use hip-hop and street dance within their dance routines however, they mainly have an African style within their style. This is what makes them one of the most loved Afrobeat dancers in London. African dance refers mainly to the dance of Sub-Saharan Africa, and more appropriately African dances because of the many cultural differences in musical and movement styles. These dances must be viewed in close connection with Sub-Saharan African music traditions and Bantu cultivation of rhythm. Throughout the years African dance moves have combined with hip-hop and street dance to be as popular as it is today.

Today, we invited a guess who goes by the name of DJ Kwamz Original AKA K.O who is also a dancer and popular DJ in London.

Presenter/ Interviewer: “So how do you feel about your opposing dance group?”

K.O (Kwamz Original): “Personally, there is no hatred between both groups whilst we battle in the dance studio or when we upload dance challenges onto different social media applications to show the target audience who is better. However, things could get a bit heated as we are all a bit competitive and always try to be better than the rest.”

Presenter/ Interviewer: “Why do you think people within the groups feel as if they should be better than the other?”

K.O: “As we have supporters all over London they always want to be the talk of the crowd or otherwise known as the most popular dancer known within London and outside London. “

Presenter/ Interviewer: “Alright. So from resources I gained before I came to Pembury circle community centre, I came to realise that sometimes AfroUK and WANF LDN get together to do a dance choreography to include it into some music videos.”

K.O: “When it is time to be serious within business we stick together and work hard. People may not see it as they think there is strong tension between us but we are friendly towards each other.  We have fun and work well together to create a choreography our supporters will enjoy.”

Interviewer: “What inspired you to become a dancer and how did WANF LDN begin?”

K.O: “When I was in secondary school I always wanted to be a part of performance within any event in school and outside school. Whenever I has the opportunity to gather my friends and make a dance routine from scratch or from well-known choreographers I would attempt to do it and make it better gradually. Those who knew me before know that my dance skills weren’t the best but over the years they’ve improved and now I have people asking me to hold dance classes for them to teach them a few moves. Not only did my hard work push me to be at my level today but the support from friends and family. Without them, honestly, I would’ve gave up after my Year 11 final performance due to the fact that people laughed whilst I was on stage and it was embarrassing. But, now I am seen as one of the best dancers and I’m only 17. WANF LDN began in 2014 when I was just a DJ learning the basics. But eventually I became a dancer too producing not just DJ mixes but music videos too.”

Presenter/Interviewer: After my short interview with Kwamz original I was able to gain more information based on the rivalry of AfroUK and WANF LDN. He taught me that although there may be abit of pressure within the dance studio there will always be seriousness when it comes to business. In addition to that teenagers should not feel the need to stop their dream according to those who don’t support their movement because sooner or later they’ll be able to be better and have the last laugh.

Television and film

Call the midwife

In the beginning of the show there is a selection of images shown in black and white  symbolising to the audience that this is a show which is set in approximately before 1966 .A theme tune is played at the beginning of the show which identifies what show is being aired at that moment. We hear diegetic sounds such as busses, trains, dogs barking people talking etc. Fast upbeat aural motif music is used as one of the midwife’s announce Shirley is due to give birth; This is because it creates tension to the audience and excitement and the fast upbeat rhythm portrays the rate of the heart beat.


Dialogue is then used in the opening scene “Don’t leave me mum” illustrating that the lady is going to give birth. Upbeat music is played behind the dialogue of the lady giving birth and the nurses surrounding her. This symbolises the build up of the birth. The slow music had a happy vibe as it included pleonastic sound as she gave birth happily. The incidental music changes into a slow happy instrumental and the baby is born. There is then a voiceover explaining the story so the viewer understands what is going on.


Sound effects is used such as a beep from a horn symbolising the area they live in could be busy. Sound effects of the baby crying, footsteps have been used so the viewer understands the environment of the show. The first lady that gave birth had a eastern accent which could represent her class in society. In another scene the next couple had a posh accent representing that they come from a better background and lifestyle. Noise is used such as the dialogue and the children playing and skipping in the road. This is used to give a naturalistic look on how all the midwifes and community live. Music is then used to set a happy mood as the children were having fun and socialising with each other. When the posh couple get intimate the music starts to play again symbolising their romance and love for each other. One of the midwifes is having a incoming “important call” the two other midwifes sneak behind the wall and try to over hear what she is saying on the phone. Incidental music is played whilst they are whispering to each other.


The music used was slow and had a mysterious touch to it as they are spying on her. It sets a suspicious mood for the viewers as everyone wants to know what is going to happen next. The cockney lady who gave birth is conversing with one of the nurses. During the discussion they tend to pause in silence due to her losing a baby before her recent pregnancy with her new-born. In the next scene we see the cockney lady and her husband running for the bus, they use incidental music which is very upbeat.


The dialogue is of them both laughing setting a funny but entertaining mood for the audience watching. The posh couple is then seen together, the pregnant lady is watched by her husband playing the violin which is seen as very high classed back in those days. They are a educated couple, they also talk in a good manner. The posh pregnant lady goes to the hospital whilst the Cockney lady who just had a new-born is seen sitting down in the waiting line. The posh lady then looks at the noisy children making noise and sits down next to the lady. The noise is very loud as it is a group of children and babies. There is Foley noises of a lady slapping her child as she is misbehaving. There is a scene of one of the ladies bumping into a police officer. The policer officer offers the lady if she wants to go to the ‘pictures’ again. This is when incidental music is used such as slow music symbolising romance.
