For your NEA brief you have to have a mimimum of two original images (taken yourself) and a minimum of one original image per page (2). Below is some guidance on getting good photos.
Choosing the right camera:
- A DSLR is always the best choice. You can borrow the Media Department's camera for use during school and you will have access to the white room with lighting.
- A good quality phone camera may also be sufficient and would enable you to take photos at home although be careful with their automatic settings. Poor quality images (blurry/out of focus may count against you.)
- A GoPro camera can also generate quite interesting images due to the fish eye lens.
Taking the right shot:
- Look at the images below; what makes these images high quality and interesting? Think about the following:
- framing
- lighting
- angle
- mise en scene
- direction of models

TASK: You need to take a minimum of two original images. Make a plan for when you will take these photos. Draw an image of what you would like to take as a rough idea. Remember you need to be taking high quality images so try to think about lighting, mise en scene, framing and camera shot/angle.
