Proposal

Location: I plan to attend a gig at the Arts Club (Bold Street, Liverpool) for my indoor event for this unit. This is a place that I have never been before and so I think that it would be great to step out of my comfort zone and photograph this gig.

Subject: The focus of my photographs for this event will be the performer (Bry). In preparation for this shoot I have watched some of the gigs that he has done in the past to get an idea as to what I should expect. I plan to use a fast shutter speed so that I can capture the movement of him playing the guitar and walking around the stage.

Health and Safety:What could go wrong? How can I correct this?My equipment could become damaged when I am making my way around the event.

I will make sure that I bring all of my equipment in a camera bag, as this will protect it from getting damaged. I will also make sure that I only take my camera out of my bag when necessary, not on transport or while I am walking around, as this will only increase the probability of something becoming damaged.

I could become injured travelling to and from the event.

The Arts Club is located on a main road and so there is going to be a lot of traffic. To prevent any problems from occurring I will make sure that I cross the road at designated crossings.

Throughout the gig there will be a lot of loud noise.

To prevent this from becoming a problem I would make sure to not stand by any speakers.

Crowds. At the gig there will be a lot of people, to stop them from getting in the frame I would make sure to take pictures in the pit.

Why did I choose this event?I chose this event, as it is something that I have not done before. I have not really shot a gig professionally, only ones that I have attended and I have taken these photographs on my phone.

What equipment will I need to bring to this event?

DSLR KIT LENS 75MM-200MM LENS SD CARD

What types of images have inspired me for this event?

These are the types of photographs that I plan to emulate within the gig. I have watched clips of the show on YouTube to get an idea as to what I should expect and so I now know that lighting is key for this gig. From the clips I can tell that colours such as red and yellow are prominent and so I will try and take inspiration from the above photographs and take shots of the artist in front of bright lighting.

The performer of this gig also plays guitar and so I feel as though it would be quite possible for me to get something similar to this.
