1. ADDRESS AND MAP OF
LOCATION

3. This location will be suitable as it is very practical; it is close to my base, there
is a wide range of availability and it is a very controlled environment in the
sense that there won’t be any lighting issues. Also, as it is an indoor
environment we won’t be affected by any harsh weather conditions such as
rain or wind that would hinder our use of equipment or would result in the
‘models’ to become cold/wet.
It is also suitable as it will be easy to key out the background and put in my
own images or designs as my vision is to have colorful and abstract
backgrounds with lot’s of different shapes or images to create an overall
vibrant and bright set of pictures for my magazine.
2. WHY IS IT A SUITABLE
LOCATION FOR THE SCENE

4. The location has a lot of availability and you are able to book in advance to
ensure that you can have the TV studio to yourself at a time that is
appropriate to you and any people that will be with you, such as any cast or
crew.

4. CONTACT DETAILS FOR THE
LOCATION

6. As there are many plug sockets and extension leads available in the TV studios
it means that I will be able to charge my equipment whilst I am using it so that
means I will not have to worry about ensuring my equipment has enough
battery to last the session.
5. POWER SOURCES

7. There will be no lighting issues in the TV studio as it is a controlled
environment. The main source of light will be the studio lights or red heads
which provide a more direct force and can create effects like shadows.
