Photos for local hero story 2

We thought for this story it would be a good idea to be able to get photos of the table tennis teacher and the students that our story was focused on together. With these photos we concentrated alot on the mise en scene as we wanted it to look like the place where the teacher holds her club. For this we decided to take the photo in the sports hall so it had a sports look to the place. We also thought that if the 'student' had the table tennis racked on him so from the first look at the photo you could tell what it was going to be about and also get the gold medal he won in the picture to so the audience would recognise the achievement.

This is one the first photos that we took. We thought that the set up in this photo was good as he had his table tennis top on, his paddle and his gold medel. We got one of the schools p.e teachers to stand in and act as the teacher of the table tennis club. She was dressed the part aswell as she had her sports uniform on which is what she would of worn to the club and to play table tennis. We chose this background as it had the look of a sports place.

We also took this photo which had exactly the same props in e.g. paddle, gold medal, uniform and background of the sports hall. We experimented with where the paddle should be held and which would be the best position.

Our chosen photo for this page was going to be the top one. We decided this because where he was holding his paddle, was in a much better place/position than in the second photo. Although the photo was quite zoomed out we decided when we put in on the page we would crop it as there was a lot of space around the outside of the photo, we were also going to experiment wether we needed to crop the photo to completly get rid of his jeans but we couldnt tell this untill we had the page setup.
