Plan for Portrait Assigment

For this portrait assignment. I think I would like to take a capture my friends in the picture and they're all just smiling and laughing and just having fun. I want to capture how much fun we all have together and a bit of every one's personality. MY friends that will be included in the photo will be Josefina, Jasmine, Rosa, Ariel, Danielle and maybe some of the boys that help make going to the movies or just go out to eat really fun and everything. Where will I shoot them? Well, I'm thinking of maybe shooting it by the band hall close to the place where the big rocks are because it will represent where we hang out in the mornings and how much fun we have there and it also shows how much we hang out in school despite us not having the same classes. To make the shot successful, I will really have to think at which angle I'm going to be taking it and if the lighting is good enough because there has to be sun and bright outside so that it can symbolize fun and joy not sadness and depression. Also, I'm going to be thinking about if the props are adequate for the picture, which in this case are going to be the huge rocks. I don't know how many pictures of them I'm going to take, but they're going to be something about my life like school and FRIENDS and maybe my boyfriend but those I'm going to have to think the same about... is the angle good? Should I break the rules in some? Will I use props or what? but I know that I have to really capture who my subject is and what they like to do or what is their personality like.
