Planning : Shot Lists

For my magazine I will need to take primary source pictures. To make sure I get everything I need on my magazine I had to create a shot list. By doing this I will be able to organise all of the pictures I want and be able to plan what I need for the pictures. I made a shot list including what type of shot it would be, ( MCU, LS, etc ) Where it would be taken, who would be in the picture, If I needed any props and what technology I would need to use to take the picture successfully.

Location : Photography Room, or Outside in the woods

Doing this will help me with the idea for my magazine and will make my magazine seem much more organised. I have stated where I will take the photos, and in my head a have a way I would like them to look. By doing this I now have a clear idea of what my magazine looks like, all I need to do now is make sure it looks like how I want it to.
