Photography dates The dates of my photography will vary, depending on when I have time and what the photo will be used for, they will always be taken on the weekends or out of school hours. The dates will be taken in this October half term, so 24th of October to the 31st is the dates for half term.

Locations The locations will be at march, at different locations and will depend on what type of image I am doing, so if I am doing the front cover I may do it in a house against a white wall so it has a plain background. I will also be shooting in march’s parks and they offer a wide range of scenery.

props I will being using a wide range of props such as glasses, hats, coats and a range of musical instruments. Some of the instruments are a bass guitar, a drum set and sticks, and a normal acoustic guitar.

Costumes I will use a variety of dark clothing, including shirts, and jeans. I will try and keep to the styling of the genre and will research into the current styles. It could also include face paint such as black eye liner and hair gel to emphasise rock.

personnel In my photography I will use shots of me and some of my colleagues at school, but to make sure my photos are creative, I will do them out of school, for a range of backgrounds. A few of my colleagues are in a band which I could play to my advantage by shooting them in the proper clothing.

Equipment I will need a camera, of decent quality, the more mega pixels the better, I can supply the camera myself. I will also need a tripod to keep the shot steady.

Photography dates This will be the same dates as my first photo as I will try and get all of the photos done within a couple of days. So from the 24th to the 31st.

Locations These photos will be shot at a variety of locations including my house (in my garden) and in march. They locations are perfect as they offer a variety of different lighting options and scenery.

Props For the contents page, I may uses less props because they will most likely be thumb nails and there will only be one big main image. For this one I will again use musical instruments to emphasis the music side of the magazine.

costumes I will use the types of clothing that are similar or the same to the front cover this will keep it all related, I will also use face paint to make the expressions of the faces much more emphasised.

personnel Again I will use the same personnel but they will look vastly different to the previous image, like using different make up, lighting and scenery

Equipment I will be using the same equipment as the first image because I really don’t need any different equipment.

Photography dates

Double page spread will take place within the dates previously mentioned so the 24th to the 31st of October.

Locations

Again they will still be at the same locations, although I would use the additional location of an abandoned house that is very near where I live, I think it would create a really good atmosphere, with its damp surroundings and smashed windows.

Props

On this piece I will use the most detailed props as it will be in the main article and will take up half of the page. The props will include certain jewellery and defiantly musical instruments. I will also include subtle things such as something in the scenery that will make it seem out of the ordinary.

costumes

For the main shot of the double page spread I will use a trench coat and hopefully some old clothes to make it seem like music is more important that their appearance or “music is life”.

personnel

I will use my family members to both take the shots and to have a part in them, I will also use the pre-mentioned people such as my colleagues from school.

Equipment I will need all of the same equipment as well as a light for the abandoned house scene as it will probably be dark.

Shot types and/or angles:

I am hoping to use a variety of shots for my photos, of course this will greatly depend on the page I am working on e.g. double page spread, contents page.

So for the front cover I am going to use a long shot or a medium close up, the model will be facing

the camera directly, the audience will be drawn to it, like it is addressing them, this will give my

magazine a personal touch.

For the contents page I am going to be working with smaller images so I really want them to be

focused on the facial expressions and their mood. The shot again will either be a medium shot or a

close up, this will also make the reader more interested in what the magazine is trying to tell them.

Finally the double page spread has the largest, most detailed image on it so I want to make the

picture the most dramatic. I would like to use a shot from the floor as it makes the model seem

more powerful and influential and that’s what I need, an influence over the audience. I want the body language to be dramatic but at the same time I want it to have a little bit of mystery.

Body language should be negative because it a rock magazine, I want the audience to feel

threatened by the magazine. This means there posture will be slightly slouched and their face will be

unhappy. Mise en scene will be musical instruments as well as a various selection of jewellery, I am

trying to keep within the colour scheme of my magazine, so the guitars and drums sets will be in black and reds.
