The document discusses a group's media production project for a music video. It summarizes how the group aimed to use conventions of R&B music videos such as glamorized imagery, close-ups during lip syncing, and choreographed dancing. However, due to the song, there was more emphasis on lip syncing and storyline over dancing. The group filmed in various locations to match the rhythm and enhance the social scenes in the video. Feedback on their promotional materials like the album cover helped them improve the design and make it more readable and visually appealing. The group used various media technologies for research, planning, construction, and evaluation of their project.
The document discusses how new media technologies were used in the construction and research/planning stages of an evaluation project. Social media websites like Facebook helped with audience research to understand what the target audience wanted. Presentation websites like Prezi and Blogger were used to showcase research in an engaging way. Photoshop and Final Cut Pro were used for editing photos, test shots, and compiling the final music video. A Canon 600D camera captured high quality footage while an iPhone 5 provided additional angles and was used in situations where expensive equipment could not go.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

1. Photography Studio Business Plan
Phoebe's Photo Studio
This sample business plan can be edited directly in Business Plan Pro software.
Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Executive Summary
Families need photographs to capture the special moments of their lives. Families of professionals are busy, and if
too much time goes by between photos, these moments are lost forever. Babies, especially, grow fast and parents
need photos of them several times a year.
While nearly everyone has a camera for snapshots, people need professional quality photos when they will be shown
to an important audience, and when people want to be seen in the best light. The Internet has expanded the use of
photos, making it possible for anyone to send them or to publish them for wide viewing.
Professionals often have business needs for high-quality photos, and through this familiarity, they acquire a taste for
them. When these professionals need photos to preserve memories, or to display family photos when they entertain
at home, they have the budget and the desire for similarly high-quality photos. Just as they appoint their homes with
fine furniture and decorations, the photos on their walls need to exhibit their standards of quality.
Most people use professional photo studios only on rare occasions, such as weddings, yearbook pictures, or baby
portraits. Because the client has to initiate the call, many special moments are lost and the studio loses potential
business. Photo studios generally charge a large fee for CDs of their clients' digital images. For these reasons, most
photo studios are rarely used by families as a whole.
This photography business plan shows how Phoebe's Photo Studio will meet the needs of professionals and their
families to capture the special moments in their lives and present them in the best light. We will establish a
relationship in which we initiate the calls to keep their photos up to date. Digital files of their photos will be available
for free by e-mail, or with a nominal fee for CD. Because of our relationship with the families, when something big
like a wedding comes, there's no place else they would go.
Phoebe's will grow at an annual rate of over 40 percent by targeting families of professionals with newborn babies for
baby pictures and then developing a relationship with the client over the years for ongoing photographs. The funding
requested in this plan is projected to result in a comfortable annual net profit by Year 3.
The opening of Phoebe's Photo Studio will mark a change in the way professional photography is delivered. Rather
than being a rare place to visit, this photo studio will be a fun part of a family's lives, helping them capture special
moments and share them in a digital world.
2. Mission
Phoebe's Photo Studio helps clients preserve memories and portray themselves in the best light. We thrive on repeat

makes our digital photographs a household staple and by making it fun for them to come here or to have us in their
homes.

Products
Phoebe's Photo Studio will help our clients to look their best, will keep their photos up-to-date, and will capture the
special moments of their lives.
Phoebe's Photo Studio has a comprehensive program to preserve memories on an ongoing basis. We see individual
pictures, especially baby pictures, as gateway products for our programs of ongoing photography.
All of our photos are created in a high-resolution digital format, from which our prints are made. Since the Internet and
commonly used printers typically use the lower-resolution 300 dpi format, 300 dpi digital files are available to clients
for a nominal charge. Higher-quality digital photos and prints carry full pricing. We will retain the high-resolution data
and clients can order more prints from us if they wish.
Our photo studio includes quality props for portraits and baby, child and pet photography. The physical environment
of the studio is fun and accessible, making families want to come here. We also go regularly to people¶s homes and
bring cameras and lights that are out of the budget of non-professionals.
Product Description
Our products include:
Baby Pictures
Our specialty is baby pictures. We have a unique combination of props and a passion for babies. Babies are also our
prime gateway product for entering families into our programs of ongoing pictures.
High School Senior Yearbook Portraits
5. Senior pictures are a long-standing tradition that brings high school seniors into photo studios. By making these
photos easily accessible in digital form, and by marketing prominently on the Internet, we hope to capture much of
this market.
We offer a special package of a family portrait at half price with the senior picture. It is often the parents who are
paying for the senior portrait, so we want to establish a relationship with the parents. The parents will want a picture
of their senior with the rest of the family. This introduction to the family will allow us to market our other services.
Family and Pet Portraits
Portraits of the entire family are needed for display, to send to relatives and to use in family newsletters and websites.
Most families have pets, and we can arrange family portraits that include them. While we don¶t specialize in pet
portraits, we have props and will take stand-alone photos of pets as well. There¶s an additional charge for exotic
animals.
Individual Portraits
Individual portraits are commonly needed for individual and business websites, business cards, brochures and annual
reports.
Model¶s Portfolio and Glamour Shots
Photos suitable for magazine publication.
Wedding Album
Weddings are one of the most special moments of life. Our wedding album includes up to 7 hours of wedding
photography, with prints displayed in a custom photo album and digital images on CD.
Annual Portrait Program
We take the initiative to schedule the annual portrait and we replace it in last year's frame while saving last year's
photo in a portfolio.
Baby Picture Program
We arrange pictures of the baby at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 18 months, 2 years, and 2½
years.
Child Portrait Program
We arrange a portrait of the child at 3 years, 4 years and 5 years, or until the child begins to be photographed
annually for school pictures.
Capturing Memories Program
We arrange an annual portrait of the family and individual pictures of each member of the family. Photos can include
pets and the house and grounds, if desired.
Competitive Comparison
The competition for portrait photography is divided into several categories:
Award-Winning Photographers
Award-winning photographers are those who routinely deliver magazine-quality photographs. Their work is highly
creative and spontaneous instead of routinely posing shots. They are rare and highly expensive.
Quality Photographers
These are professional-quality photographers, like us, who use a lot of posed shots. Most of the competition falls into
this category.
Value Photographers
Low-priced, lower quality providers.
6. Same Day Photographers
Normally priced photo studios that provide lower quality photos on the same day.
Sales Literature
ACE Marketing Communications will develop the logo, electric sign, business cards, brochures, website and display
ads. All will contain branding information around the theme of capturing the special moments of our lives. This
theme is the backdrop of our program to maintain customer relationships and to take the initiative to schedule photo
shoots at our studio, in our clients' homes, or in nature, to preserve their special moments.
Technology
Our innovative approach makes the most of consumers' fascination with the latest digital imagery. By playing to this
market trend, we gain new customers and provide added value, with high-quality, small file-size images our clients
can easily share with friends and family members.
Phoebe's Photo Studio will use several digital cameras, and will require a computer fully loaded with imagemanipulating software, such as Adobe Photoshop. We will also need an ongoing maintenance agreement for the
computer and software, and nightly backups of image files, in the event of computer failure, theft, or fire.

Market Analysis Summary
Families with children are the biggest market for portraits. For the purpose of this analysis, these families are divided
into three socio-economic categories:
y
y
y
College graduates
High school graduates
Non-graduates
Families of college graduates are most likely to be professionals and to have the means and the taste for professional
portraits. There are nearly 20,000 such families in the metropolitan area.
We will target female professionals and wives of professionals, because women make the majority of purchasing
decisions in these families.
The competitive environment is divided between luxury magazine-quality photographers, moderate professional
photographers who mostly pose their subjects, and same-day photo studios.
The trend among our targeted consumers is toward more digital photography and more sending of digital images on
the Internet. As the world becomes more technical, people need more personal support.
Phoebe's Photo Studio will use a "high-tech, high-touch" approach to reach and retain clients for their ongoing photo
needs. We will make it affordable and easy for them to disseminate their photos electronically.
Market Segmentation
People who who pay for professional photo portraits are generally status-conscious professionals who have children,
and so we've segmented the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area according to the social status of families. We've
used education as a measure of social status.
Families of College Graduates
Professionals are, almost by definition, college graduates. They are the ones most likely to have a need for
professional photo portraits for career purposes. They are also most likely to have the means and taste to want
professional photos for their families, as well.
Families of High School Graduates
7. People who have not completed college are assumed to be more likely to be employees or be in a trade. While many
of them may have the means for professional photos, relatively few will use them. They are more likely to use homemade photographs, except for rare occasions, such as a high school photo or wedding.
Families of Non-High-School Graduates
These are families who are generally without the means to hire professional photographers on a regular basis.
Demographics
The Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area has a total population of 330,527. There are 74,836 families.
Some 25.5 percent of the adult population in the metropolitan area is composed of college graduates, which we will
here define as professionals. Some 62 percent of the population is made up of high-school graduates.
The Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area closely conforms to the boundaries of Lane County, Oregon. The office will
be located in Eugene, but clients are accessible throughout Lane County through physicians¶ offices. Most Lane
County residents are accustomed to doing occasional business in Eugene.
The following table and graph give the breakdown in demographic terms.

Target Market Segment Strategy
Our target market is families of college-educated people who are most likely to be professionals. This is the
population most likely to order professional photos on a regular basis, having both the means and the desire for
professional quality photographs.
Since women make most of the purchasing decisions in families, our specific target market is middle-aged
professional women in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area, roughly 19,554 people.
8. Market Trends
Photography has gone digital. Digital cameras are replacing conventional cameras faster than DVDs are replacing
VHS in video stores. Even cell phones have digital cameras on them. The uses of photography have expanded as
well because of Web pages on the Internet and email. Digital images are needed for printing uses as well, for such
uses as brochures and business cards.
Photo studios have mostly switched to digital format because it also allows for easy processing and manipulation.
They have been less amenable to making digital files affordably available to clients, and this is a trend on which we
intend to capitalize.
Market Growth
The growth rate used in the table is based on the 1.4 percent growth rate experienced by the Eugene-Springfield
area over the past year. This growth is reflected in the accompanying chart and graph.
Market Needs
Families have photos taken to preserve memories. Most photos are taken by consumers with their own cameras,
which are increasingly digital and are even part of their cell phones. Most of these photos are low quality but no one
cares because only the family views them.
Consumers generally engage professional portrait photographers when the photos will be viewed outside the family
and when quality matters. Professionals, such as those in our target market, often have business needs for quality
photos and have acquired a taste for them. These professionals have families, too. They have the budget and the
need to use them for their families because they often entertain at home and their family photos will be on display.
Just as they appoint their homes with fine furniture and decorations, the photos on their walls need to exhibit quality.
Specifically, some of their needs include:
y
y
y
y
y
y
y
y
baby pictures
portraits for home or office
senior pictures for the high school yearbook
family pictures to send to family members
family newsletters
family, individual or business websites
portraits for business cards, such as for real estate agents
portraits for brochures and annual reports
The world has become increasingly digital, but many professional photo studios have made it difficult for people to
enter the digital age. The traditional practice of retaining negatives to require clients to return for prints has been
carried over to charging high fees for releasing digital files of their portraits.
The need to capture memories lasts for people's entire lives, and business portraits require a regular update. But
people generally don¶t look forward to seeing a photographer. In fact, they find it a burdensome expense, have not
established a relationship with a photographer and don't think often about going to one. As a result, a lot of memories
are lost and ancient portraits of professionals continue to be hung on walls and portrayed in publications. This makes
them appear to be trying to preserve their youth instead of embracing their maturity and experience, and doesn't
show them in the best light.
Industry Analysis
The competition is divided between luxury magazine-quality photographers, moderate professional photographers
who mostly pose their subjects, and same-day photo studios.
Phoebe's Photo Studio is not a luxury, magazine-quality studio, but our service and photo quality is high compared to
other moderate professional photographers. Our rates are comparable to theirs, but we add value through personal
contact and easy dissemination of digital images.
9. Main Competitors
Competitor X is an award-winning, highly creative photographer with a style that one would expect to find in a
national magazine. His prices are the highest in the area, up to $15,000 for a wedding album. His strategy appears
to be to capture the high-end market, where a magazine look is a luxury that people can afford.
Competitor Y is a more typical photographer with more staged photographs and wedding packages running up to
$5,000. His strategy appears to be to occupy the middle-ground of quality and price where most of the market is
likely to be.
Competitor Z offers same-day photos. This is easier to accomplish with digital processing for a studio organized
around speed, but quality is necessarily sacrificed. The market for same-day photos doesn't necessarily demand
quality. Prices are average. The strategy of this studio appears to be to appeal to convenience and speed.
Competition and Buying Patterns
Purchasing decisions generally begin with an urgent need, such as a high-school senior picture or the birth of a
baby. Buyers are most likely to seek a professional by referral from someone who has used their services. If this is
not available, they are most likely to look in the Yellow Pages, but increasingly online, especially if they are young.
Distribution Patterns
Photo studios are generally located in commercial areas with high visibility, but many studios are run out of the
owner's home. This is possible because so much photography occurs on location: in people's homes or offices and in
nature or at social events.
Industry Participants
Photo studios are run by professional photographers with various levels of education and experience. There is
considerable variation in quality and taste according to the ability of the individual photographer. This is a highly
individualized, creative process that makes it difficult for large corporations to enter the market or to create "chain
stores." The participants are mostly individual photographers.

Strategy and Implementation Summary
The key element of Phoebe's strategy is to reach parents of newborn babies in target neighborhoods soon after they
leave the hospital. Parents and other relatives want baby photos several times a year, and this pattern can form the
basis of a long-term relationship. We will take the initiative to phone parents to take pictures instead of waiting for
them to remember, when parents request this service.
Referrals will be solicited from clients through specialty advertising to reach their friends and family.
The target market is female professionals. Professionals are more likely to have the means and taste for professional
photographs.
The world is becoming more digital and we will exceed the competition in providing access to digital files easily and
affordably.
Strategy Pyramid
Our strategy is to become an indispensible, recurring family expense by developing long-term relationships with
clients and taking the initiative to to call them when it's time for new pictures.
Our tactics include:
10. y Using individual photos as gateway products to our programs of ongoing photos. Programs include:
Targeting Baby Pictures: By correlating public records of births with zip codes of target families, we will solicit baby
pictures. Baby pictures can be the gateway to our programs of ongoing pictures for the baby and the whole family.
Web Site: Our website will offer free CDs with digital images of photos taken for high school senior photos. Many
families who order senior pictures haven't established a relationship with a photo studio for other pictures.
y Developing long-term relationships through personal connection and programs for calling for appointments
when they're due. Programs include:
Annual Portrait Program: We take the initiative to schedule the annual portrait and we replace it in last year¶s frame
while saving last year's photo in a portfolio.
Baby Picture Program: We arrange pictures of the baby at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 18
months, 2 years, 2½ years.
Child Portrait Program: We arrange a portrait of the child at 3 years, 4 years and 5 years, or until the child begins to
be photographed annually for school pictures.
Capturing Memories Program: We arrange an annual portrait of the family and individual picture of each member of
the family. Photos include pets and the house and grounds, if desired.
y Soliciting referrals from the friends and neighbors of our clients.
Specialty Advertising: Giving away interesting promotional products that are cool enough and inexpensive enough
to ask them to give others away to their friends.
Competitive Edge
Our competitive edge is that we provide not only a photograph, but a program of ongoing portraits to capture the
special moments in a family's life. We then make the digital images of their photos easily and affordably available for
distributing on the Internet.
Marketing Strategy
Phoebe's Photo Studio is unique in having programs to capture the special moments of a family's life. These
moments can easily pass by and be lost by busy professional families. We take the initiative to call them, if they
request this service, to schedule appointments to mark the special stages of growth in their families. We're there for
baby pictures, high school senior pictures, wedding pictures and photos for their professional needs.
Our prices are about the same as those at other photo studios, but we email digital files of our clients' images for free
to help them put their pictures on the Web. There is no charge for our calling service, either, so we are a great value.
We will get the word out by conventional advertising to start, and by a yellow page ad and a website. We have a
targeted marketing effort to families of newborn babies.
Distribution Strategy
Phoebe's Photo Studio will be located near where women dine and shop for higher-end clothes. Because of our
parking, toy room and ample couches, we can accommodate more than one family at a time. Women who shop
together can have their family pictures taken together or at the same time.
We will also be available for photo shoots at clients' homes or in nature.
Marketing Programs

11. Positioning Statement
For female professionals and wives of professionals with children who need to capture their growth and special
moments and share them with wall portraits and the Internet, we have a program to remind our customers when
photos need taken so these moments aren't lost. Unlike our competition, we take the initiative to make these calls
and include inexpensive CDs and free emails of their digital images.
Pricing Strategy
Our prices are competitive with other high-quality professional photographers in the area, but digital files are
delivered affordably by CD or free by email. Our value added is in our programs of calls to capture the growth of the
family.
Promotion Strategy
We will have a professionally designed Yellow Page ad and a website. In addition, baby pictures will be targeted
using public birth records and mailings to families in our target areas.
During the first six months, we will run display ads in the local paper and radio spots on several different local
stations.
Sales Strategy
A special for the first baby picture will be a regular feature of our pricing structure. This is offered with the intent of
getting the whole family on an ongoing basis as clients, because babies need photos frequently and we want these
families to be clients for life.
Sales Forecast
First year sales are projected at to double by 2008.
The sales forecast for 2006 assumes slow growth at first, a decline over summer and a large increase in fall for
senior photos.
Sales are shown in terms of units of individual portraits at $100 each, photos at home at $200 each, and wedding
albums at $2,500.
The per-unit cost is estimated at 10 percent for portraits and family photos, and 20% for weddings. This cost includes
all expenses for outsourced high-resolution printing, as well as materials for producing digital products (CDs, labels,
etc.). The direct costs are higher for weddings, because this sales category is the most traditional, and will result in a
much higher percentage of printed final products than digital ones.

Web Plan Summary
Our website will be developed by ACE Communications and will be up and running by December 2005. For high
schoolers and others in our target market under 30, websites are the preferred way of finding information. Our
website will be designed to appeal to high schoolers for their senior photos, to young mothers with new babies, and
engaged couples who are seeking wedding photographs.
The site will have information on our other programs for the growing number of middle-aged female professionals
who shop the net. The website address will be included in the yellow page ad, display ads and radio spots (since the
name will be easy to remember) to draw people to the site.
Website Marketing Strategy
14. We will register with the local Chamber of Commerce, which will include a link to our website from their own. We will
hand out business cards with our URL and name at local high schools, especially targeting rising juniors who will
need senior photos. We will advertise our website and address with fliers at local wi-fi cafes and clubs, especially
those near schools and near where children's or baby products are sold.

Management Summary
Phoebe Peters is the Director of Phoebe's Photo Studio as well as the photographer. A receptionist / production
assistant has been hired to commence December 1, 2005.
Management Team
Phoebe Peters is a graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography. She has 10 years experience as an industrial
photographer and freelance portrait photographer.
Lisa Peters is a trusted family member with three years experience in retail sales. She is also an amateur
photographer who has an active interest in and understanding of photography.
Management Team Gaps
There may be times when both Phoebe and Lisa Peters will need to be on location for a photo shoot. Usually, these
shoots will be scheduled on weekends when the storefront will not be scheduled to be open. If these times occur
during work days, it may be necessary to hire a temp to cover the storefront rather than close it -- especially during
the first five months of expensive media advertising.
Personnel Plan
The owner, Phoebe Peters, will need to cover her personal living expenses of $24,000 per year during the first three
years. A growth rate is assumed for cost of living.
The employee, Lisa Peters, will be paid a wage at $8.25 per hour, which averages to $1,500 per month, with a raise
of $1,000 per year for the first three years, as sales increase.

Financial Plan
Phoebe's Photo Studio will become profitable in its fifth month of operation, by May 2006. It will grow vigorously each
year after that to its optimum level during 2008. This optimum level will produce sales sufficient for a generous net
profit, even with the owner's and employee's salaries.
The business will be funded with an investment by the owner and loan secured by real estate.
Start-up Funding
15. The start-up requirements for Phoebe's Photo Studio including start-up expenses, current assets, cash on hand, and
long-term assets were presented earlier in this plan. Start-up funding is presented in the table below.
The owner, Phoebe Peters will provide a seed investment. A loan for the balance will be secured by real estate.

Important Assumptions
We assume a stable economy with reasonable growth and a steady rise in interest rates. We also assume that our
competitors won't adopt our strategy within the first two years. After that, our approach is likely to make a change in
what our competitors charge for digital files, because they'll see it's effective in bringing in repeat business as well
as new business.
Break-even Analysis
The average monthly expenses are shown in the table below. With low average direct unit costs, we will need
to make the monthly sales displayed to break even. We expect to pass the break-even point in May.

Key Financial Indicators
The benchmarks chart, below, shows a quick comparison of Sales, Gross Margin %, and Operating Expenses over
the next three years. Although Operating Expenses will rise slightly in future years, they are not rising proportionally
with sales growth. The higher operating cost ratio in the first reflects the higher costs of advertising to establish
visibility at the start of the business.
Projected Profit and Loss
This business is projected to become profitable in May 2006, after the start-up advertising is completed and
customers begin to discover the service. For the year 2006, the business will be profitable. It will grow at a vigorous
rate over the next two years.
17. Our utility costs include monthly charges for high-speed Internet access via a corporate account, which will essential
to delivering our finished images to most of our customers.
The optimum level of profitability for this one-photographer shop is reached in 2008. Our profit margins are much
higher than the industry average because of our innovative product-delivery options - digital images require no film,
no paper, and no chemicals, just storage units (CDs and DVDs) and delivery (computer and Internet access).
