Fall2013_A#4 Corporate Industrial

Pre Production Questionnaire

1. What type of available lighting will you be encountering?  Being in a second floor basement there is no windows and therefore no natural light. This is not an old factory, the place is well lit. The lights are high enough and are evenly spread. There is no dark area or corners.

        

2. What is your intention in terms of how you plan to use the available light, how will you be addressing the Color Balance for this mixed light situation?  It’s a florescent light situation. I will use a green gel on the flash.

3. What is the reason for your lens choice? (Do you want the compression of a long lens or the exaggerated perspective of a wide angle, fixed focal length or zoom)?  I would like to be able to show the ambiance of the place while concentrating on the man and the machine. So a long lens with a zoom should be good.

     

4. What words would you use to describe the Visual Style you are looking to create in this image? An Industrial photograph that could finds itself in a company pamphlet or brochure.

5. What aperture do you plan to use and why?

6. What shutter speed to you plan to use and why?

7. What ISO do you plan to use?     I already tested my lighting at ISO800, F/4.2 and 125sec. F/4 is the lowest I could go with the lens I had at the demo and I manage to get an evenly lit image with these settings.

8. Are there any technical problems that will need to be addressed at the shoot or any steps you feel will be needed in post-production?  The place could be cramped, so there could be some changes in the angles of view. There could be some post or equipment in the way to block the strobes lights. Lighting equipments from other students could be visible in the background.

9. What equipment you will need for the shoot?  2 strobe lights, one main and one fill. One softbox and one umbrella. Camera, light stands, grey card, light meter. I will also bring some gobos and accessories.

10. Who will be your subject and how will they be represented?  A student will be represented as operating the machinery.
