film noir proposal

For my assignment I want to create a video game cover. I have a few ideas of the shots i'm going to use but it will not be easy finding the props and the location. The first shot I will use is the man in a suit holding a gun. I will need to do this shot at home since we are not allowed to bring any weapons into college, This will be the hardest to shoot because we need a good location and we will have to book the cameras to take out. If I need to I'll take the picture near a wall and just cut it out in the editing. The easy part to this shot is there is only one person to take a picture of so it wont take long to get this shot out of the way. If the shot is too dark I could do it in front of a window so the sunlight will reflect on the model lighting him up. I will see which is the perfect angle by moving the camera around. I will need to find a place where there is nothing in the way of the shot. I need a full body shot of a person standing in front of a blank wall. I think that the ISO on the camera will need to be low since I might have the room dark but there might be a bit of sunlight from the window, there is not much I can do about that. I will have to be careful about health and safety, if I am going to be setting up in a public place and if I would be using extra lights there would be wires all around the place.

The second image I will use will be taken in the college and in the TV studio or the sound studio since the room can get pitch black then i could use a torch to light up the model I need everything black but the image of the person. This will not be hard to make I just need to use a spotlight to light up the person. The background will not be an issue since it is just gonna be black, I will have the camera looking straight onto the model so you can see his face and half of his body. I want to have the ISO higher so it looks grainy and older so it would be fitting with the theme of film noir. For the props I will only need a suit, it shouldn't take too long to take the pictures but it might take a while to set up everything. Health and safety wont be much of a concern just have to be careful about the wires especially if we need it to be dark in the studio.
The third image I want to have someone leaning on a wall in a alleyway, this is a typical film noir image so I think I should add it into my image. The location could be anywhere in town I just need to find a place with not so many people making it easier to shoot. It might be best to do it after we finish college in the afternoon since it would be dark. The ISO on the camera would need to be very high so it looks older. The props I will need is a suit so I could use the same suit I use in the first shoot. I want the image of the all of the persons body leaning on the wall. It shouldn't take too long to set up or take the pictures.


The fourth and final image I have decided to use is an image of a man walking down the stairs, this can be taken at college and it shouldn't be too hard to recreate, I will have to have a high ISO so the image looks dark and older. The props just needs to be a coat and a hat which isn't going to be hard since I have used it in the other shoots, I want a full shot of the persons body. it wont take very long to take these pictures. We will have to be careful with the wires on the stairs if we use any lights. I might use red heads to light up all of the area since we need a full body shot.
