•         2 Storyboards with plans for photoshoot, annotated to make clear what your intentions are with regards to location, models, props, make-up, costume, lighting, camera angle, depth of field etc.  Try to go out somewhere relevant to your theme and make an effort to get strong images planning composition, lighting, angle etc.
