Event Photograpy
This assignment asks you to, photographically, document an event happening around the school. You will first create an action plan. Then, you will create a list of shots that are required. Once your planning is complete, you will shoot the event and submit a photo package.
Step 1: Create an action plan.
In this step you will make yourself prepared for the upcomming shoot.
Open up a new google doc, and answer the following questions:
- Do I need any special permissions?
- Where is the event, and what lighting issues might occur?
- What are the most important aspects of the event to be covered?
- What gear will I need to properly cover the event?
Step 2: Create a shot list.
In the same document, begin generating a list of required shots for complete event coverage. Be exhaustive: it only takes a few seconds to get a picture if you know you need to take it . Think of this list as the checklist you need to complete in order to get paid!
Step 3: Do the shoot!
Show your document to the instructor and get a approval for a press-pass.
Head to the event and get your coverage!
Step 4: Process and submit
Once the shoot is over, return to the lab process the best photos you got - make sure you complete your checklist!
Save your masters somewhere important, and then submit to your photographers portfolio!
