LO2 Brainstorm of Project

What resources (assets) will you need for your photo-shoot?
- Camera (Canon 650D/700D) DSLR
- SD Card
- Tripod
- Lights
- Batteries
- Props? e.g. costumes

The specific camera needs to be adjusted in terms of lens, camera settings and aperture, this would depend on the genre and details of the photograph being taken. The camera type is a Canon 650D/700D. I will save my photographs as JPEG because that is usually the file type they are saved as, even though they are lossy they are smaller files and therefore more photographs will be able to be taken. The camera will have adjustable shutter speed and aperture control and good exposures.

The software used will be Light room and Photoshop. Light room will be used to view the photographs taken and tag them depending on the importance and rate the best ones so they are easily seen. Photoshop will be used to edit the photographs and to merge the photographs, creating the idea of double exposure. Hardware would be the cameras, lights, computers, batteries etc.
