Title:

Front cover photos

Photo-shoot concept:

Photos will need to be taken so it will represent people that are R&B and POP fans who are really entitled with music (instruments may be represented). The person on the cover will need to be in the same age group that my target audience.

Aims:

From this shoot I want to persuade readers to buy this magazine. I want people to look at the model represented on this photo and wanting to be the same. I will try to get people attraction and clear message about this magazine and what this magazine represents.

Date and timing:

These pictures will be taken during day time and that light will make the pictures look natural, I’m planning to take those photos between 24^th December and 31th December. The date for pictures that will be taken on white and black background will be booked between the 5^th January and 15^th January.

Location:

The picture for front cover will be taken in park so there will be green background pictures will also be taken on the bench as this is where teenagers (my target audience) like to spend their time.  I will also take photos on white and black background to see which will look better and then I will choose one picture.

Props:

The costume that will be required will have to suitable and similar to the fashion that the target audience ware. The main character will have to ware dark colours but at the same time it will have to stand out: Leather jacket or dark blue cardigain, blue shirt, leggings and pair of black hills. The coslours will be dark, dark blues and black . The colours have to link.

Model:

The model will have to be female in the age between 16years old and 24 years old, so it is representing the target audience age and will bring their attention. The model will have to glamour make up and represent music. I will try get few models but the main one will have dark hair as it will be good with white background I'm trying to used in my magazine.

Team:

Photographer, artist make-up, hair stylist and fashion adviser. Those people will work with the model to make sure this will look professional.  

Equipment & Preparation:

I will need to have camera and spare batteries as well as memory card. Make –up and hair equipment’s as well as prepare cloths with the fashion stylist. I will have to book an appointment with those specialists and as what also I will need to prepare. I will also book an appointment with Mr Martin who is in charge of borrowing white and black background to take photo shoots.

Desired Shots (Draw sketches):

I could have extra lights so the background will be much lighter as the model will be represented mainly in darker colours.  The shoots will be taken as mid shots or long shoots. I will prepare the model in different positions to see what I would like the shoot to look like, and then I will take different photos.  I will also produce storyboard representing different shoots and ideas to visual my ideas.

Reference images:

I will print images and sit with the model and all advisers and we will discuss each picture we will decide which one we all agree to use. I will also produce mood board to see which picture will suit the target audience.

Picture that inspire me:

 

In this picture I like the green background and this is what I would like to use on my pictures.

In this picture I like the close up of the model face, we can see her emotions and natural beauty which has been shown here. This brings female attraction

In this photo I like the close up which represent the model, there is contrast between white background and the wearing of the model and her dark hair.
