Shoot 1:

For shoot 1, I am aiming to achieve professional images by the use of different lightings and camera setting. In our school studio, we have access to box lighting, skybox and spot lightings. Lighting will affect on how the images will turn out like. Some may have a soft effect, warm effect and bright effect.

To balance the lighting with the camera setting, I have searched different white balance settings. There are 7 settings. Auto, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Daylight and Flash. Tungsten adds warmth and Fluorescent and daylight adds a bright white lighting. 

With this shoot, it will be best to shoot in Fluorescent or Daylight setting because we don't really want any filter and even if we decide later, we can add it in on Photoshop.

The camera setting will probably be ISO 200, F2.8 and 1/200. This will give a clear image and work well with whatever lighting we use.  

Shoot 2:

For shoot 2, I am aiming to achieve some great silhouette outdoors photography by working with natural lighting. If its sunny I have to make sure that the sun isn't shining through the lens and if its cloudy, I must make sure the images are coming out brighter. I am thinking to be at the location around 5pm just before it gets dark so the backgorund will be dark but still some colour.

Shoot 3:

For shoot 3, I am aiming achieve some still life images of the powder being "thrown". As I have decided to shoot this in the school studio, I wouldn't be able to throw coloured powder around, however I can use a light set up object which lets you use lighting form behind the equipments and place the powder on a board so it looks like its 'floating'. I would prefer the white board to show but it wouldn't matter as much. I will have to use a tripod and from right above I will capture some images. If the coloured powder isn't pigmented enough, I will edit the images on Photoshop. It is important that the coloured powder is pigmented as we have planned as a group to have colour inside the digipak as the outside is in black and white so its a shock. The camera setting will probably be the same as Shoot 1 as we don't need dramatic effect.
