Location, Props and Costume

Location:

I decided to do my location for the photoshoot in my front root, as it was very spacious when moving the sofa away from the way, allowing my model to be able to move into different positions. I was able to take advantage of the natural light coming in from the window. I didn’t want any of my pictures to have a background when shooting with my model (Fleur East). Other pictures I used such as Miley Cyrus was taken at the O2 arena in London when I went to see her at The Bangerz Tour in 2014. I fitted with the magazine so I decided to use it as the pose and the picture looks very professional. Another Image on my contents page was taken at Disney Land in America from September 2015, when I watched the parade. I thought it would link with my age group as every teenager dreams of going to Disneyland Orlando, so I used it for my competition photo.

Costume:

I used the same outfit on my model for all three shots, apart from one when I added a leather jacket to change the look. My model is wearing a grey high neck belly t-shirt, black skinny jeans, grey leather jacket with a gold chain necklace. She also shows her tattoos which gives the image a different edge. In the Miley Cyrus picture, she is wearing a high rise one piece which has the pattern of American notes on, cowboy boots, a backpack and green glasses.   

Props:

Props:

In the Miley Cyrus picture, the props used was sunglasses and a backpack to complete the image and represent the wildness in her. In the Disneyland picture the props used include the float with Minnie and mickey mouse featured on them and Cinderella and prince charming castle featured in the background. When having a photoshoot with my model we didn’t really use props and we focused on the different poses she could use instead to make the picture very dominating by using eye contact and sexual poses.

Front Cover Draft

Font Mood Board

Font Mood Board

This is my font mood board which are possible ideas of the type of font I would like to put on my magazine front cover. I have chosen to text ‘music magazine’ as I am currently still deciding on what I would like to choose as my mast head. The fonts I have chosen are mainly ones which have a different type of style to them. This will make the magazine have a different qwerky style to it which other magazines would not have. I have also chosen some fonts which have a traditional and simple style to it in case when I make the magazine it needs a simple touch to it, so it doesn’t make it over the top. In this mood board I haven’t added any colour to it as yet as I am not too sure of the colour for my mast head. My target audience is females aged 13-25 as it is a charts magazine I will need to choose a font which would be appealing to them. So possibly a more traditional look or one which is very classy would attract them to the magazine more.

Colour Mood Board

Colour Mood Board

The colours I have chosen to place on my mood board are different shades of black, blue, red, white, green and pink. I have chosen these colours as these where the feedback I received from my questionnaire which I posted on survey monkey. My target audience Is teenage girls aged from 13-20 so the use of black, white, red and pink will defiantly be the colours I feature on the magazine cover but the uses of green and blue will be able to tone it down. As the magazine I am creating is a charts magazine it will feature different types of music but mainly pop. The blue will look really well as I am having a male model featuring on the front cover. Giving it a cool feel to it. I want the front cover to be eye catching which is also why have picked bright colours as well as black. I’m not so sure on the dark side of the colours but this will all depend on how the front cover picture is taken and if it is in dark or light shading. Once I have done a practice on the front cover this will give myself a clearer view on how I use these colours in my music magazine.

Original Ideas Statement

Original ideas statement

The type of magazine I have chosen to make is a charts magazine. My target audience will be girls aged 13-25. The age where you are still at school and you talk about the latest bands up to the age of a young adult where you still go out and party. This means that the genre of music I will be focusing on will mainly be pop but will have other genres included. I have chosen to pick this type of magazine as I keep up to date with the music charts, they are the biggest solo artists and groups making the charts weekly. Many people are interested in the music charts and everyone likes to keep up to date with the newest music. Inspired me was music magazines such as Top of the Pops but would want to make it more adult’s versions but teenagers could still be interested in.
