Shoot Plans

At this point in time, I am not sure what order my shoots will be in, I intend to do several shoots on the same day- for example when going to London I hope to do more than one shoot.

1. On the train. For this shoot, I hope to take photos of my friends, as candids, showing the non-stereotypical youth subculture, yet in a place where people may assume teenagers to be troublesome. My  looking train station is the beginning of the line so the carriages normally start off very empty, which is when I hope to take these images because then it will not be a protection hazard as other people will not be in my photos, Then the same shoot, I hope to capture my friends in hoodies on the train and looking "troublesome" this could include being spread out taking up lots of space, having their feet up- walking throughout the carriage, this shoot would be on the way back from London so I hope this part to be darker than the original shots.

2. Leake street. This is where documentary photography will come into my shoots because I will, alongside getting photographs of my friends with the graffiti around them, I will also try and take as many photos as I can of passersby who look around the youth age of hold the appearance, this is because I think this could work really well in this location- many people find graffiti as vandalism, which is what I want to display here.

3. South bank skate park- using techniques such as GIFs, I hope to document teenagers skateboarding with graffiti in the background, I think this is the perfect location for this shoot. Alongside getting GIFS of people skateboarding, I also hope to get Wide angle images, forming a distorted fish eye look of the whole skate-park part, but also including the outside- with passers by- symbolizing how teenagers, when left alone, aren't troublesome.

4. Brick Lane- this will be of my friends just walking down alleys with graffiti- thus showing one of the main parts of these shoots is vandalism.

5. Drinking- for this shoot, I hope to get my friends to appear like they are drinking within a park, this will include having looks of beer bottles-non of which will have actual alcohol in, using different techniques such as depth of field with the bottles in the foreground and the group in the background- out of focus. Furthermore, within this shoot, I intend for my friends not to have their faces on show- they will merely be silhouettes which will hopefully reveal a fear factor of the unknown.

6. Fire- I hope to gather different images from different angles with the fire as the main focus, this will mean most of these shoots will have the fire in the center and in the foreground with my friend surrounding it, also using manual focus, I will make it so my friends/subjects are out of focus and therefore much like the previous shoot, silhouettes.

7. Smoking. For this shoot I will use techniques such as blur  These images will be taken within Harlow, as none of my friends smoke, I will have to use documentary styled street photography to capture this aspect/ factor. Shots I hope to included whilst using blur are people who smoke outside the college where everyone walks past- I captured a similar image to this in my trial of the blur technique and I really like it and hope to recreate it, to extend this, I hope to do this a couple times- maybe once everyday for a week- to show the different people doing it- showing its a wide youth culture activity to do.

8.Furthermore for smoking, I hope to use the technique of GIFs, if I get permission to take photos of people smoking  I hope to make GIFS- people breathing out the smoke- into the camera, I would also like to use my research within my project proposal, of an image I found of someone smoking, whilst drinking out of a mug, which is a photo I really like.
