Reasearch and PLanning: Story for two page spread

I have written out my story for my two page spread and I have decided to make it personal to the band, as from my research thats what a lot of magazines do to introduce new bands.

• How they meet
• Where there from
• The school they went to
• What age they began to like music
• What instruments they can play
• The struggles they went through when the band came together
• Gigs they used to do
• How they became famous
• How they feel about the experience

Research and Planning: Final shot Ideas

• Canted shot- I plan to use this shot type on my two page spread, I am going to take a shot of the band whilst on is on the icrophone and the other two are behind pulling faces. I am going to do this to show the personalities of the band. To show the audience that they are laid back and fun.
• I am going to get a medium shot, from high angled of the band for the front cover. I am going to get the "band" to strand together and look down at the camera. I want to do this so it makes them look liek they dominant the magazine. I want this impression to come through the magazine so the audience know that this is issue is about them.
• I am going to get ehad shots of the band so I can put information under about there age and their full names so that the audience know personal things about this new band.
• I am going to get a Long shot of the band for the main image on the two page spread and I am going to get the maleband members to pick the female band member up to show the audience that these are close but at the same time to give a twist to the photo so that the shots I take don't look the same.
• I am going to get another medium shot of a band for the contents page
• I am going to get a Close-up for the contents page to show that this band/ artist is a main story in the magazine.

Research and planning: Photos

I still need to take my photos at my chosen locations and find my models for that. I am going to do the magazine and add the photos on later, as I feel this will help me take the right shots to compliment my magazine. Also it will give me longer to find more appropriate models.

Research and PLanning: Contents page ideas

For my contents page i am going to add a note in the top corner, from the editor of the magazine, myself and this idea has come from the influence of the kerrang magazine, as I am attempting to design my contents page like that.
I want to include this on my magazine because it makes it more professional and realistic, it makes the magazine more than likely to exist in the real world. 

Research and Planning: Content page

This is the beginning of my contents page it is still in working progress.

So far I have done the title, a quote from the magazine, I have started to announce my page numbers and I have wrote an Editors promise.
I have incuded an editors promise because after researching magazines I found that the contents page usually has an editors promise.
