RECCES – TV STUDIO

BETHAN GLOVER

This recces assessment is part of my location scouting in order to find the safest, best suiting location for my photographs for my music magazine.

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.

• I BELIEVE THE TV STUDIO IS SUITABLE FOR THE SCENE DUE TO MY GENRE IS POP AND WITH THE GREEN SCREEN IN THE BACKGROUND OF MY MODELS IT MAKES IT EASIER TO MAKE THE SURROUNDINGS MORE CHEERFUL AND COLOURFUL LIKE THE POP GENRE IS KNOWN FOR.

• IT IS ALSO A PROFESSIONAL SCENERY WHICH WILL MAKE THE MAGAZINE PHOTOS LOOK OF A HIGHER QUALITY.

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.

• THE ADVANTAGE ABOUT THE LIGHTING WITHIN THE TV STUDIO IS THAT IT IS FULLY CONTROLLABLE SO THERE WILL BE NO ISSUES TO DO WITH THE LIGHTING GIVING OFF TINTS OF ORANGE OR BLUE. ALSO, DUE TO THEIR BEING NO WINDOWS WITHIN THE STUDIO, NO NATURAL LIGHTING CAN APPEAR AND CAUSE PROBLEMS TO THE PHOTOS SUCH AS TOO BRIGHT OR MAKING THE PERSON LOOK LIKE A SILLOUTTE.
