Proposal

 

 

My first ideas for my article was that I wanted to do it on BMX. I wanted this because I ride my BMX every single day and I wanted to show my passion for the sport by creating an article about it. I wanted my first article to be about the skate parks of London. I wanted to write about how the skate parks are to ride and what the atmosphere at the skate park is like. I want to chose  the closest skate parks to me such as Victoria skate park.

The second article I want is going to be about the pros of  BMX and how hard it is becoming pro. I think this is a good topic to write about as every BMX rider looks up to pro BMX riders and would love to be pro one day. I also think this is a good subject to write about because I want to show what pro BMX riders have to do on an everyday and how hard it is to stay as a pro.

 

I want to include images of my local skate parks. I want to add this into the article about the local skate parks as the reader will be able to see a photo of the park and would be able to see what is like and if they want to go there.

I also want to add images of pro BMX riders into my article about what it's like being a pro BMX rider. I want this so the reader can see the level of tricks they do and what they have to do on a daily bases to keep up with being pro. I also want to add images of pro BMX riders so if children are reading they have someone to look up to and they can see what a pro BMX rider looks like.

 

My article's target is 16- 20 year olds. I want to target this age because im in that age zone so I think they will be able to relate to my story and what I am saying in the article. When writing the article I am going to try and keep it relatable to my age so they will be able to relate.

 

The purpose of my articles are to inform and educate. I want to educate so people understand how fun the sport BMX is and what it is all about. I also wanted to inform people about local skate parks and what they are like so people can go there and try it out for their own sport such as BMXing.

 

I want the platform of my articles to be on magazine or a e-magazine. I want this because I like how the classic magazine looks and feels. I also like it because it's a physical object which I think is better.

I also want to create a website with my article on so people can access it easier online. I want to create it on a website so it is more accessible to people on the move and people who don't know where to buy the magazine.

Planning
For the planning of my photos I created a number of documents that helped me get to where i am now. I created a photographers calling sheet to know the dates and times of when i was shooting with my friends at the skatepark it also helped me stick to what i wanted to take pictures of and not get distracted as i knew they would make good images.
i also created a planning sheet, the planning sheet helped me brainstorm my ideas at the beginning of my coursework. I got the idea of take photos around BMX because i planned it in there. it helped me think of photo ideas as i put sample images in the document.





Technical
The technical side of things didn't got to plan. once i arrived at the skate park, my friend Freddie broke he's bike and snapped he's forks in half. this wasn't good as he was my main model for the photo shoot. i had to work around he's bike being broke and everyone trying to help him, so instead of focusing on the riding side of things, i changed my idea to the views of the skatepark and the social side of things.




I used a Iphone 6 camera to take all of these photos.
shutter speed...
the focus on all the images is the BMX rider performing there stunts and tricks. the skate park in the back ground is also a focus but not the main.
framing...
I used natural light to take my photos as we was outside on a sunny day. no artificial light was needed.

My final images

These photos are my final images

The first picture I took is a picture of the skate park. The sunset was hitting the skate park and it made it look very megistic. I like this photo as it shows how relaxing being at the skate park is and shows off the lovely back ground of the skate park.
the frame shutter speed for this photo is...
the aperture is low. This is because the sun light isn't hitting that much of the skate park.
the exposure is...
the file size is...

The second photo i took is off my two friends Matthew and Sam following each other in the skate parks bowl. this makes a good photo as is shows how much fun the skate park is and how much fun we have out on our BMX bikes.
the shutter speed for this photo is...
the aperture of this photo is low. most of the ramps of the park are covered in shade.
the exposure is...
the file size is...

The final picture i like is a photo of Jack Pike doing a big air on the skate parks ramps. I really like this photo because it shows even the most simple tricks like airing a ramp can make such nice photos. I also think how the sun is hitting the BMX rider also makes this a nice photo.
the shutter speed of this photo is...
the aperture is low. the sun started setting at this point so it was getting darker.
the exposure is...
the file size is...

The final picture i took is an image of the skate park but the look through the gap of my BMX bars. I like this photo because it shows what life behind bars is really like and what the skate park is all about.

the aperture is...
the exposure is...
the file size is...

Mise-en-scene
all the photos are taken in Victoria park skate park, the skate park can be seen in the back ground of all of these photos. I wanted to show the atmosphere of the skate park whilst showing the BMX side of things. I think having the skate park in the background helps show this as people can be seen watching with excitement

Subject

The subject of my photos will be my friends riding their BMX bikes. I want to take photos of this because BMX is my passion and i think it will make good photos as all my friends can do loads of different stunts and tricks.

Availability of resources

For my photos i am going to need a BMX bike. I will need this so my friends can perform the stunts and tricks. I will also need my phone, i am going to take the photos on my iphone 6 which has a good camera. I will finally need a skatepark, i need this so my friends have somewhere to perform tricks.

Bookings

Bookings will not be necessary as i will be using my own camera to take my photos.

Image resolution/ pixel size

Scaling factor is 3 and the image is afterwards downscaled from rendered 2208 × 1242 pixels.

Location

The location i will be taking photos will be at victoria skatepark, i want to take them there as i know the best angles and tricks to perform tricks as it is my local skatepark.

Light

I will be getting natural light from being outside. I am going to take my photos around midday so lighting will not be an issue.

Permissions

I will not need any permissions as it is a public skatepark, and i take photos for my friends all the time.

Interior

For my inside shots i want pictures of my bmx, i am going to put my bmx in front of a white background and use lights to make it visible.  

Overview of risks

The only risk in my photography work is wearing the proper protection. My friends will be wearing helmets while i take the photos for their own safety.
