Example pitch as follows:

Group names: Dougal Fergusson, Ned Riley, Wim Bouden
Who: Mr Leigh Halford

  1. Hi Mr.Fergusson, this is our pitch for the portrait:

    Group names: Deewena Parija, Lucia Bustamante, Mora Endruhn
    Who: Mr. Adrew Cino
    How and what: A full-body Jane Bown style photograph, posibly set either in Mr.Cino's office or in the kindergarden playground. Our intention is to portray how a job does not define a person, showing him with a professional background, but being the complete opposite to it. The picture will have a humorous and childish tone, where Mr.Cino will be portrayed as a childish man with a serious job. One of the ideas we have for a picture is him making paper planes out of important documents, or sliding down the slide from the kindergarden playground.
    We have not asked Mr.Cino for permission yet, but we hope he will give us permission.

    This is a basic idea of what we want to do, we may change it in the future but it is headed that way.

  3. Group names: Amelia Liza, Briana Velásquez, Mateo Gutierrez
    Who: Mr.Goodman
    How and what: A head to shoulder shot showing his face expression and the use of lighting. We chose a classic style in black and white. Mr. Goodman is always seen as the jolly, funny man that he is, but we wanted to show people that not everything is what it seems like. We want to present Mr. Goodman as an evil and cruel teacher.
    Where and when: In an english classroom in front of a black board which has writing all over it. Since classrooms are used during the day, we will probably shoot after classes.
    No, we haven´t been able to ask Mr. Goodman for permission, but we hope he agrees.

  5. Group Names: Francisco Daneliuc, Jaime Loiza, Ryu Ishizawa
    Who: Ms. Blanca Vasquez
    How and What: A full body portrait of Ms. Blanca, standing in the middle of a corridor/ road/ hallway, alone. This picture will be taken in the exaggerated LaChapelle style. Our intention is to show how frustrated Ms. Blanca is when students don't listen to her. By making her stand alone and possibly disturbing, we intend to show what most students can't see of her during the lesson. Most colour saturation and changes will be done digitally. Ms. Blanca has accepted to use her as the subject of our picture(s).
