research and Planning: Developing of my Two page spread and Front page

Research and Planning: Chosen pictures for front page and contents

I have decided to use these pictures because of the quality of them and the angles and shots I have got. I also get the representations I want from these photos.

research and planning: Test shots for Front page and Two page spread pictures.

This picture I did not use because it was too blur,, and I felt I could achieve a better quailty picture. Althought this is the shot type and angle I want for my front page.

These photos were out of focus and I felt I could achieve a canted shot so I took the shots over and over again untill I took the right photo.

This medium to close-up picture is not being used because I felt the facial image did not portray attitude of a rock star and I want the audience to be able to connotate from the picturew that my magzine is rock. 

Although i might use this on my contents page.

 

This photo was blur and the facial expressions I thought looked unprofessional and they didn't look like three young adults that have been close friends since they were young

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.
