Copyright and intellectual property rights;

Copyright is a form of intellectual property, applicable to certain forms of creative work. 

Intellectual property rights are the rights given "persons over the creations of their minds." They conventionally give the creator an exclusive right over the use of their creation for a set period of time. I got this information from google, which provided me with information on my rights over this set location for my photoshoot. Intellectual property helps you to stop people from stealing or copying - the names of your products or brands, your inventions, the design or look of your products, things you write, make or produce. 

This is the consent form I asked our teacher to sign, in order to give me permission to use the media studies room as the location for my photoshoot.

Above is a still image of the location for our photoshoot, in the media room. This was a great location for our shoot because it had a white background sheet, which was very useful to shoot against as it allowed for more flexibility during the editing process when deciding what background to keep for the poster designs. The media room also allowed us to use a variety of lighting equipment, which enabled us to take a variety of shots with different lighting, however this was not particularly necessary as I wanted the same lighting for the majority of the images I had taken. 

To set up this equipment, a production team was needed in order to make sure the heavy lifting could be shared, to reduce the chances of injury. The image above shows how the shoot was set up by the production team. This was the only location used to the photoshoot which made it fairly easy when setting up the equipment, as it didn't have to be move out of the room, preventing the chances of damage being done to them. This also made it easier when setting up equipment as it was more time effective, the lighting equipment and white sheet were already there, so it was just a case of moving them a couple of metres. This helped us to sit down and shoot fairly quickly without much complication. The only problem there was with this was moving the tables in the classroom, so there would be room to do a variety of different angle shots. This required us to move these tables, which did take more time, but was worth it as it enabled me to get a wider variety of angles.

As shown in the photoshoot image, the costume for Anna is the jumper she was wearing in the scene where her character is kidnapped. I wanted her to wear the same jumper as this also create good colourings for the shoot as she didn't blend in with the white background, but it is still a subtle look demonstrating the mysteriousness of the film. Below demonstrates a still from my film, showing Anna's character wearing the same jumper as I asked her to wear in the Reece of the photoshoot.
