Photo-shoot planning sheet

Title:

Content page 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.  As the target audience likes to relate their selves to people represented in media.

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.  I want this picture to stand out.

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 28^th February and 4th March. The date for pictures that will be taken on white, black or red background will be booked between the 5^th January and 15^th January.

Location:

The picture for front cover will be taken at school so I could use background the pictures will also be taken on the bench/chairs as this will be unique.  I will also take photos on white, black and red 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, blue shirt, leggings and pair of black hills, animal print mainly dark colours.

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.

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 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.

This picture is very different to others it is reflected with gold on grey background. I would like my model to stand out on a picture. This shows the celebrity said and brings the audience attention.

This picture is very clear on white background shows emotions.

The cloths match together creating reflection as the face of the mode stands out and this is what the reader is concentrating on.
