Both: Planned Photoshoot

For one of the auxiliary tasks we have chosen, we are required to create a double page spread in a TV listings magazine. For this double page spread, we will require a photoshoot to be undertaken to attach to the text.

Props

We will require only a few props for this photoshoot. We will require a table, a television set, a games console of our choice and an assortment of relatable games cases to accompany the console. These objects all relate to the topic of the documentary. Games posters and other diegetic items may also be used to add to the mis-en-scene of the location

Location

As for the location, the plan is to use a room that has either nothing on the walls or has easily-removed items that can be replaced with diegetic objects and our props. The room will need to be spacious as we need to fit a rectangular table and four people into the room without anything appearing to be cramped. Lighting will be diegetic and (should we decide on the appropriate shot) may emit from the television set itself into our actor's faces to give it more of an effect. 

Actors/Members of Group Present

The actors required will be the host's of the documentary, Amber Rickell and Kyran Lowe. As well as these two, there will only be one member of our group available to attend the photoshoot and operate the camera equipment. Callum Petch will be the one doing so, as the other member (Kyle Edwards) is due to take an examination that would conflict with the scheduled photoshoot.

Costumes

The costumes intended will be similar to the theme we used to film the documentary; clothes that don't promote any un-related items, but instead that are either just plain or publicise game-related brands/quotes. This will let us keep strictly to the genre in question.
