I like the idea that this shot is looking from the inside out. I will try to
have a different kind of day shot from inside, not necessarily a rainy
one. I would like to try it with sunny weather.

Must have shots –
Looking outside (in sunny weather), a cup in the kitchen with a
spoon in it (for the narrative), a shot from out in the garden.

Techniques to try – depth of field, symmetry

Equipment needed – phone

SHOOT REVIEW LOG

YOUR NAME Ross Pilling

Date & time of visit – various times from Feb-March

Location – I liked this location because it was very convenient and I


was comfortable there.

Weather conditions – Not too important because I was inside, but


the day was dry and cloudy and this still worked for the looking
outside shot I wanted.

Equipment used – phone.

Camera techniques used – depth of field

Things that worked – the shot of looking out of the window worked
well. The shoot overall went OK.

Any challenges? – No challenges.

Ideas for future shoots – I might show my mum watching TV as


another example of day to day life at home.

Notes -

Include a contact sheet of each shoot, narrowed down to around


10-20 images. Show your selection process with colour or star rating.

You are not doing final edits at this stage! The next step is to identify
your best shots to take to post-processing and the editing
techniques you wish to apply to these images.
