Shooting schedule

I have chosen my model for my main task and shall be taking photos in a few days. This is to make sure that I do not waste any time, also to make the most of it. I have made a shooting schedule for the day.

Firstly I will go into school to book a tripod as I will be using my own camera, however using the tripod will be difficult as I have never used one before so I will try and figure out how to use one before I take the picture so it will not waste any valuable time. Also using a tripod will make my pictures look professional as they will be straight which can make the editing process easier. 

I have said to my model how I would like the pictures to look as well as where I would like to take them and how I would like her to dress. She is also a fan of indie music so she gets my vision. I asked her to wear a dress and some wellies as we would be outside however nether of us have any so we decided on boots.  Also I have looked at the weather forecast and it will me mild but as I am only going to allow us to be outside for a couple of hours so she will not need a hat or gloves or even a hot water bottle, also having extra items will make the time short as we will have to take them off a put them back on again. I have decided that I will have Noel's hair (my model) up for the start and then see if the wind is up to get some shots of her hair blowing in the wind.

As I have a part time job it is difficult to fit in the day of shooting fortunately we had a day of school which allowed me to take my media photos in the middle of the day and to also post some of the original photos that I will take.  

I have contacted my model and we have set a time of 1 o'clock this will make the photos have a bit of sunlight which is what I would like. We will both walk to my location which is now wickstead park it will only take 10 minutes therefore it will allow us to have more time shooting. 
Once we get there I will find the best possible location to take the first images and set my tripod out with the camera that I hopefully will now know how to work. I will have to take Noel to different locations however I want the same feel throughout, at the different locations I will spend at least 10 minutes. Also after each location I will look through the photos to see which ones I like and do not like and delete them as it will take me less time to look though and edit.
Once we have finished shooting we will both walk back and look at the photos that we have taken during the day. Noel has a time limit that she has to be home by 3.30 so that gives us 2 and a half hours to shoot which is plenty of time.
