Section 1: Rationale/Review (Level 2 approx 50 words, Level 3 approx 100 words)
Rational i have learnt a lot over the year and they will help me a lot when it comes to the final major project such as i have good camera skills with normal rather than photography camera which would become useful as well as i have skills in lighting and Photoshop to edit the picture after taking them and premier pro as well as to put my final the parts of my project together and i have learnt all of these skills which i do believe are relevant and useful to make a production slash how to video about toy photography
Section 2: Project Concept (Level 2 approx 100 words, Level 3 approx 200 words)
project concept for my final major project i plan on doing a highlights reel of toy photography with either Lego or kenner / Hasbro toys but i plan taking picture of these toys in the wild in amazing poses with curate backgrounds with creative feature making the image more interesting and whilst i have these picture and i am taking them i would have a second camera based above me and i will have that camera aimed at me showing what i am doing and how i am doing it so that i have a how to do toy photography video slash a tutorial video on how to do toy photograph showing the effects and gimmicks that are used in toy photography to make the picture the way they look and maybe showing the things that i would do in Photoshop depending on the time of my video but it could be a good idea such as i could have some clips showing the effects i would have in the picture such as fire or a fire cracker or something to have water splash up or a hair dryer or fan blowing sand and dirt to replicate movement or a big explosion
Section 3: Evaluation (Level 2 approx 50 words, Level 3 approx 50 words)
evaluation in my evaluation i would talk about the production of my piece and how i made it and the issue if any as well as i would talk about my ideas and why i chose the one that i did and i would also talk about how effective my final piece would be and how it evolved and changed over the course of the project

Project Action Plan and Timetable
Week	Date Week Beginning	Activity / What you are intending to do - including independent study	Resources / What you will need to do it - including access to workshops
1		I will developing my idea by conducting research about my idea helping me to learn everything I would need to know including how the camera works and how to get certain effects. Also I would be learning the depth of field focusing points and shot composition as well as having looking at other toy photographers and studying how they take pictures and compare that to what I have learnt and use that to develop my idea by experimenting with my equipment. So when I come round to shooting I have a good idea of what I need to do and how to get my pieces to a high enough grade .	The resources I would need are a canon or Nikon dslr with a 50 mm prime lens or other lenses depending on my type of shot or angle. I am doing this to get use to the equipment and to help improve my camera skill and technique. Also I would be basic stuff like YouTube to go through and conduct research and search for tutorials to help me learn different ways to use the equipment and to help develop my idea.
2		This week I would be looking at how to get or make certain effects without doing it in post-production or in premier pro or Photoshop. I would be looking through YouTube for tutorials on how to make effects such as explosions fire and smoke as well as rain to get the desired effects with my pieces and give them certain feelings and emotions helping to develop my idea. And make my photographs a higher level by making these effects instead of just adding them in at the end.	I would need basic software’s such as YouTube and other photographs and video based websites to find out how to make my effects and how to use them appropriately and effectively.
3		I would start production over the summer holidays practicing and starting to my make my pictures by using everything I have learnt and putting that into practice. I also am going to want to utilize some of the effects that I have tried to learn and put some of these effects in to use in my pictures.	The resources I would need are a canon or Nikon dslr with a 50 mm prime lens or other lenses depending on my type of shot or angle. And YouTube in case I want to research some thing or incase I get stuck and need some help with something or want to look up how to do something with the equipment or with one of the effects to make sure I get it right.
4		I would be shooting over this week and the next to help develop my project and idea by getting hands on with the equipment and learning how to utilize it and improving my work. I would do this by getting peer feedback and building on It using different equipment and scenarios as well as a different backdrop to develop my planning and idea along with it.	I would need a canon or Nikon dslr with a 50 mm prime lens or other lenses to take the pictures and a bean bag to get close to the ground and improve my first attempt at pictures.
5		I would try in the studio to use a 3 point lighting kit and make my own studio and set to take pictures in instead of the environment by creating an area setting up the lighting and taking pictures in a different way. To get some different shots and trying something new.	I would need a 3 point lighting kit from tony and a dlsr to take the pictures.
6		My plan this week is to reflect on what I have done in my blogger and gather peer feedback form everyone and reflect on that. And use what I have learnt so that next time I shoot I need to make sure I take on board what I have learnt and use that to develop my idea and improve my photography.	I would need we based products such as Photoshop and premier to edit my pictures as well as blogger and YouTube to document everything that I have done.
7		I would do another photoshoot this week so that I have taken every picture that I need so that I have a large amount and a large variety of pictures shots and types of picture to choose from to build my gallery from. As well as I would gather peer feedback form everyone and reflect on what I have learnt and document it so that it helps develop my idea and mainly this week apart from editing my pictures I would mainly focus in my blogger.	I would need we based products such as Photoshop and premier to edit my pictures as well as blogger and YouTube to document everything that I have done.
8		This week and the next would be to make sure that I have a good blogger and to make sure that I have everything finished blogger side. Such as having all of my production documents and having all of my pages in order and making sure that they make sense whilst having them to a high enough grade and making them make sense and having all of my grammar           in place and everything is where it needs to be   .	I would need we based products such as Photoshop and premier to edit my pictures as well as blogger and YouTube to help me document everything that I have done
9		Making sure all of my pictures are finished is my plan for this week and making sure they are all up to standard and having all of the effects and amount of shots that I need and get the printed and published so that I have everything ready to be marker and handed in as well as having all of my blogger ready and up to standards so that I am ready for final deadline week	I would need we based products such as Photoshop and premier to edit my pictures as well as blogger and YouTube to help me document everything that I have done
10		This week is the final week and the deadline week so my goal for this week is to just make sure that I have everything ready and done so that I could just submit it and be confident with what I have produced so this week is a finish up week making sure that everything is ready to go complete ad to a high enough level

For my final major project i plan on doing a highlights reel of toy photography with either Lego or kenner / Hasbro toys but i plan taking picture of these toys in the wild in amazing poses with Accurate backgrounds . With creative feature making the image more interesting and whilst i have these picture and i am taking them i would have a second camera based above me and i will have that camera aimed at me showing what i am doing and how i am doing it so that i have a how to do toy photography video slash a tutorial video . And how to do toy photograph showing the effects and gimmicks that are used in toy photography to make the picture the way they look . And maybe showing the things that i would do in Photoshop depending on the time of my video but it could be a good idea such as i could have some clips showing the effects i would have in the picture such as fire or a fire cracker or something to have water splash up or a hair dryer or fan blowing sand and dirt to replicate movement or a big explosion.

My other idea would be to do a lego stop motion depicting something that i have not yet decided and would last around 45 second to a minute and it would have around a couple thousand picture because i would have it run at 12 fps and the topic would be war / military or gangster alcapone type of peice.

My other idea is to do a tutorial video that would explain how to do toy photography and it would cover a step by step guide explaining thew equipment and how to set it up as well as explaining effects and how to recreate them and how to get the final product that you want as well as showing effects in Photoshop.


My final idea would to do something around airfix because it is one of my other main interests and it would have a lot of interesting things available but i would probably do a stop motion or capture it in photography.

I would use a canon dslr + 50mm lens to take my pictures.



I had another idea and it was my final idea that i would have had and it is making and taking pictures of toy soldier (airfix) that show them in movie surroundings or in action poses with appropriate surroundings with potential effects. I would also edit these with in Photoshop to enhance them and make them more realistic or to add action and drama.
