- 1. Shooting Schedule Date: Wednesday the 29th January 2014. Location: Nunnington Hall, Ryedale Equipment: Booked? (Y/N) DSLR Camera Y Tripod Y Memory Card Y Models: The images will be part of a collection of eight photographs that document Nunnington Hall. From Workers in the gardens preserving the National park to the workers in the shops selling local produce from farms nearby. The models used will be other people taking photographs as it is more of a documentary type of photography rather than a photojournalist approach. Props: Props used will only be that of what is found at Nunnington Hall, such as the tables and chairs found in the interior of the site. Risk assessment completed? Yes Contingency: To go into York city centre and take images of the old buildings and walls. Also as Nunnington halls staff might not be working, a contingency is put in place to take photographs of any workers in the garden industry. Should the weather effect the outcome of the photographs then it has been thought about to take the image indoors. One shoot should be enough to take the documentary images however if needed a location will be prepared for a second shoot.

That of acting responsibly and being safe when around certain sites or equipment. To also consider the tutors (People in charge of students behaviour) and the way they should act. They should be trained to deal with certain aspects of the trip and to set an example on how to behave in the premises of a National Park. They should also know whether the location of where the students going is safe. Also instruct the students to take photographs without supervision.
