LO2: Survey monkey Feedback
- Be mindful of angles when taking the pictures because I will have to line up the pictures perfectly to create the desired effect.
- I should be careful not to include random people in my photographs since I will be using public places
Strengths:
- One strength is the locations I will be using.
- One improvement is that I need to think about how I am going to get the images half and half and side by side.
- Another improvement is to identify some more techniques that I will use in my pictures
Next step:
- I need to go and think some more about how I am going to actually edit the images and also which techniques I am going to use.

LO2: Copyright, Permissions, legal and ethical
Copyright
Copyright is when permission is needed in order to use someones intellectual property in a photograph/ Film etc. This is important for our photographs because if we photograph something that is protected by copyright it could result in fine and also if we have to use any other assets. This law is called Copyright Infringement.
Permission and release form
Ways to avoid having people in your photos:
Gaining permissions is not just about models permission, we may also need permission to use locations that are private land. I need to find out if the places I want to photograph are private land.
Legal and ethical
The reason we have to think about representations is because:

Ways to avoid having people in your photos:
- Frame picture so only the object you want to photograph is in frame
- Time of day ( If it is a landmark go later to avoid people being in the frame)
Gaining permissions is not just about models permission, we may also need permission to use locations that are private land. I need to find out if the places I want to photograph are private land.
- Avoid using telephoto lens in public because it allows to take pictures from a distance.
- Being careful not take pictures with kids around
Legal and ethical
The reason we have to think about representations is because:
- We have to avoid using negative stereotypes regarding Race/Religion/Age/Gender/Class
- Discrimination
- The model knows the intention of the photos
- Misrepresenting the model (defamatory)
