INITIAL IDEAS

INITIAL IDEAS

Cast/Models: I have two people in mind who I’d like to model for my magazine, Max and Taylor. I have asked both and they agreed to do it.

Location: I’m going to take my photographs for my cover of my media magazine in my favourite place, Aldeburgh. My target audience is aspirers to middle class people, so I feel this would be a suitable location. My mum’s friend has a gorgeous vintage car which I am going to ask to use as a prop.

Props: I will probably head to the high street and beach to take most of my photographs, I will be grateful to use just the surroundings as it has a lot of personality. I would really love to shoot my models stood up against or sat in my mum’s friend’s car. This will depend on availability on the day I decide to do my shoot.

Outfits: The two models I have chosen both have distinctive looks and I like the way they dress, so I will ask them to dress as they would and just make any alterations if I need to.

Lighting/weather conditions: I think for any photograph it needs to be taken in daylight on a bright day, I would like to go early one bright morning and get my snaps.

My magazine will consist of A front page, double spread feature article and an interview. For these i need around 6-10 images.

My feature article will be based around an interview with a  band which is linked with my magazine. My magazine is going to be a similar magazine to NME, so isn't going to be something you would typicallly find in an issue of Kerrang! Set across two pages, my article will have a bold heading and a main image. My text will include dropcaps, subheadings and icon images to guide the reader through. I will use a three way colour scheme keeping it simple but aeusthetically pleasing. I will include a midshot of the band i decide to interview, then dotted across the text a few varied shots incluing a worms eye, and birds eye this willl help me create illisions and reinforce the hiarachy of the band members. On this page i could include a competition or vouchers of some sort in some way which links in.  
In the 60's and 70's when music was central to youth culture, NME dominated the news the news stands.
