WHY IS THIS LOCATION SUITABLE FOR YOUR PROJECT?

The location in which I have chosen for my photoshoot keeps in with a very natural theme, the
location in which I have chosen for my photoshoot also keeps in with a very used and rusted feel as

Describe the aesthetics of the location (e.g. Describe the potential camera shots or describe the
acoustic value of the location)

The location is filled with long, open fields with an almost like woodlands area on one side and a
street on the other with a few trees and buildings, another location which I will be taking pictures is
near the town hall park which obviously contains a pond but also benches, a park, a pathway which
leads into the woodlands like area and a large building which is town hall, the last location I will be
taking pictures near is on the wall of the local pub, a street lines one side of the pub wall and a field
lines the other side of the pub wall.
The first picture I will be taking is of my model leaning against the pond fence (maybe in different
possess such as air boxing etc.), other pictures I could take in this area is of my model running out
of the woodlands area, another idea for my first location could be to take a picture of the model
running past the town hall building or maybe sitting on one of the nearby benches looking
exhausted.
The second location where I could possibly take my pictures is the field, I could take pictures of my
model in this area facing towards the camera and the street and away from the woodlands keeping
the woodlands in the picture, and I could reverse it and have the camera facing the street and the
model facing the woodlands.
The third picture I will be taking will be, of course, near the local pub, I will be taking the picture of
my model leaning against the brick wall either looking exhausted or maybe looking off into the
distance as if he was scouting out a location to run next. Another picture I could take is him air
boxing the camera whilst in a sort of boxing pose or a picture of him with his hands in his jacket
pockets looking laid back but not leaning on the brick wall, just standing in front of it.
