Double page spread- Photo-shoot planing

Photo-shoot planning sheet

Title:

Double page spread photos

Photo-shoot concept:

Photos will need to be taken so it will represent people that are R&B and POP artist who are really entitled with music; close ups on their face with happiness and emotions showed. These pictures should represent more than people.

Aims:

From this shoot I want to persuade readers to buy this magazine. I want people to look at the artists represented on these photos 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 representing people to look alike my target audience and also show that they are normal people not much different to their fans. As my target audience (mainly teenagers) like to compare their selves to people that is not much of a start but normal people.

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 March and 30^th March. The pictures will be represented on white background with slightly darker lighting.

Location:

The picture for front cover will be taken in doors; to give a natural look to the pictures and make them look clear, as this page is going to be in white/creamy and black colours pictures on white background with suit with the page.

Props:

The costume that will be required will have to suitable and similar to the fashion that the target audience ware. The boys will be wearing hoodies that are very comfortable, whereas the female will look smart she will be wearing white shirt with scarf that will reflect what the boys are wearing. 

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. The male will be between the age of 16 years old and 24 years old they will have to look slightly older than a female as the stereotypical band is where he man are older and they are taking care of the girls.

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. Ave meeting with my models and tell them what I’m planning to do.

Desired Shots (Draw sketches):

I could have extra lights so the background will be much lighter as the model will be represented in dark as well as light cloths so I will have play round with the lighting.  The shoots will be taken as mid shots or close-ups. 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:

I like this picture as it reflects the models feminism. Even though the background is quite dark and the models in a brunet she is also reflecting on this picture, the background is very nice and suits the image. Image is clear and shows really good quality I think it is very persuading.

This picture is very similar to the one above, but his model is concentrating on the audience which will make them feel like his article appears to them. The model stands out on this picture. This picture look fresh and the models shows happiness which is a sort of message I want to give to me target audience.
