Proposal for photo essay

Proposal

My idea is to take pictures of my nephew who is 11 months old. The majority of my projects I do I will be trying to base them around him. Why? Because when this course is finished I can put use to the films about him and show him them when he’s older.

My main goal is to try and see him grow. I’ll be including pictures from when he was just born and now.

My nephew is very lively and active and can pull some of the most amusing facial expressions. With great timing I hope to capture them.

I hope to use a different variety of shots such as long, medium, close, low angle, high angle and extreme close up shots. Categorically I know taking photos of a baby will be difficult as they can’t keep still! But I see it as fun exciting challenge as to what I’ll come up with.

I had to think about my target audience carefully, but I feel my target audience should be children and families. Maybe if other families knew my idea and had a read of this proposal then they’d realise what the purpose of this montage of my nephew actually is, and maybe decide to do this themselves.

I will include he dissolve transition for effect because i feel that's it's appropriate. I’m still contemplating on whether my photos will be black and white or colour, maybe a mixture of both.

Background music – I am going to go for a calm, relaxing, nursery rhymed theme tune because it fits in with babies.
