Location recce

Location for: Magazine front cover and double page spread pictures

Potential location: photo and address	Positives and negatives about location
Castlewood Rd, New Barnet EN4 9GE	Positives The area is big and open so their is variety of camera angles and shots that can be taken. It is easy access Natural light will help with the camera shots Negatives As it is outside, the weather may affect the photo There is a shadow affecting an area within this location which could affect the lighting within the camera shot People could walk in the way of the shot as it is quite a public area
Castlewood Rd, New Barnet EN4 9GE	Positives Natural lighting comes from the sun and the wind may have a good effect in the shot. Big wide space enables for different types of camera shots and angles Negatives Poor weather can have an effect on the camera shots that are taken, especially if you want an upbeat photo made with good lighting rather than grey skies and rain downfall.  The wind can have a negative effect if you want everything in the frame to be calm and still. Difficult to control sound and scenery such as car horns being sounded and bus engines being loud.
Castlewood Rd, New Barnet EN4 9GE	Positives Good background and scenery for a music magazine, showing some of the many instruments. Quiet and small room with good lighting focusing on everything within the room Perfect place to showcase main image creating new music in a music room Negatives Obvious place for a music artist to be so not very original It is not a very colourful room so the picture could have no sparkle to it Not very easy to access as the rooms will be used by others during lessons and for lunchtime clubs

Conclusion:  I will use the 3rd location because i want to showcase my main image where he is at his least vulnerable and most inspirational, which is making and creating music in a quiet and remote environment. I would like to use this location and take pictures of the main image there so he is portrayed to be working on his music when i was taking pictures of him and because one of the articles i would like to write about was about his life, the way he creates music, where he gets his inspiration from, upcoming new releases and gigs and venues he will be performing at.
