Photoshoot planning

Images I will need for my magazine:

• Front cover - One medium close up shot of an individual looking directly at the camera. There needs to be a neutral facial expression shown and the shot needs to be in focus. If I use a female I may consider presenting her in a slightly sexualised manner to follow typical genre conventions.
• Contents page - One medium shot of the same student or a different student to show variation within my magazine. I may also incorporate smaller images from my photoshoot within the main features section.
• Double Page Spread - One long shot and two medium shots - The long shot will be used as the main image and the two medium shots will be used as side images in the article. Maybe a mix of facial expressions, such as straight faced in one image and laughing in another, which will connote happiness, thus showing that my magazine isn't totally serious.

• Location - The location is most likely to be in the photography studio based up at Woods Browning. This way, I can ensure that the lighting is of a high quality and the shots are in focus due to the use of a professional camera.
• Costume - Indie clothing will need to be worn to represent the genre (any casual clothing like a dress, a checkered shirt with shorts/jeans etc.)
• Person - My person can either be a boy or a girl, it doesn't really matter as most indie music magazine target audiences are aimed at both genders equally.
• Representation - A white background will be needed to be used throughout my shoot to show professionalism and connote high production values.
• Camera shot - The student needs to be looking directly at the camera and every shot needs to be in focus. The camera angle is likely to be eye level to make the audience feel more personally involved with the student and magazine.
