The document outlines the planning process for a magazine photoshoot. Key details include: - Contacting a friend's band to be models after an unsuccessful Facebook post - Organizing a photoshoot location, date, and equipment like guitars, microphones, and speakers to make it look like a live rehearsal - Researching indie/rock fashion trends to design costumes following "rules" - Choosing camera angles and completing location forms - Designing a magazine layout and masthead to match the indie/rock genre

2. This is my calendar that I used to plan the days of work that needed to be done. I planned the date of photo shoot and the deadline so I could visually see what needed to be done. I also applied the times to remind me which lesson I needed to complete the work in.

4. When planning to look for models I first made an announcement on facebook to see if anyone was interested in participating. I had a lot of feed back but then decided I needed more of a band rather than single models on their own and due to the times that people could get together on short notice I e-mailed a friend of mine (Leon sketcher) who is the head of a band called ‘Little stereo’. I sent an e-mail on Monday night and spoke to him over a two day period of asking questions and organizing if they wanted to participate. All agreed and I was set to meet them at West Wycombe pub (studio) at 6pm till 9 pm for the photography shoot. I rang them the night before just to confirm that all were willing to participate in the modelling and on costumes and photo shots. All agreed and was set to go ahead with the plan.

7. This is my updated version of my calendar after changing the day of the photoshoot and having to move around different aspects of work due to lesson plans.

9. Drum kit

10. Microphones

11. Speakers

13. Black/dark blue jeans or trousers. Not baggy! Specifically either ‘skinny jeans’ or ‘well fitted’.

14. Leather or cardigan also in dark colours

16. The use of the guitar makes a realistic approach to the photograph, by using an electric guitar symbolises not only the rock/indie genre of the magazine but the realism. It shows the demonstration of mention by making the picture look like a in movement shot. This could used to demonstrate live or rehearsing for the band. By using real guitars gives a full professional look to magazine Using large professional speakers and by using about 5-6 of them really pushes to show the realistic side of the photograph it makes the band look really professional and gives my music magazine a loud expensive image. The stereo's also demonstrate the loudness of the rock/indie music creating imagery. Example of staging area for photoshoot Door speakers stage microphone

17. Mid shot Long shot over shoulder close up extreme close up High Angle Shot Low angle shot two person shot establishing shot point of view

20. For the location, I chose a rehearsing studio in West Wycombe. The studio room has a small stage and since its a actual rehearsing studio all the safety checks were already in place. The location was best for my photo shoot because it was already set up to be a rehearsing studio. The studio was already prepared and had sockets, plugs and area for the equipment to be placed and used with maximum safety. The studio offered me a realistic setting for my photoshoot which concluded that i didn't have to set up the location to seem professional. As I wanted to studio look to the photoshoot it was perfect as I wanted pictures of a live rehearsing studio look to support my interview double page spread in the magazine.

22. Image not available Image not available The Location for this photoshoot is at 3 Healey Avenue High Wycombe. This is a house where i am planning on taking a variety of photos in different locations within the house. These photo’s will be used for the contents page of my magazine. The photo shoot will be in one of the bed rooms, the garden and drive way, depending on whether. My house offers me an environment to take a number of pictures from the interior and exterior this gives me an opportunity to choose a variety of different images to match my genre for the magazine. As the photoshoot is at my house its a good environment to spend a lot of time collecting the correct pictures and reshooting them in a number of different ways.

29. In the beginning of my planning I first started my organizing my dates into a calendar with the detailed time and date so I was focused on what my deadlines were and appointments, although i had to change the dates around at one point due to lesson times and other interferences. I then started my organizing my models where I contacted a friend who was in a band and organised a photoshoot after my attempt of Facebook social network announcement failed to give me the results needed. I made a date and organised the place after confirmation with the manager and the band. i then concluded to look into the costumes and props i decided i wanted to make the studio seem very realistic similar to a live show or rehearsal with the band; so i decided i was going to need mainly a variety of props such as guitar’s, drum kit, microphones and speakers. I then organized for all the equipment to be set up to the stage plan i had created. The costumes I wanted to give also a realistic feel but also stereotypical for the genre of the magazine, i went into research online looking at the different types of fashion for indie and rock and came up with costumes rules for the four boys to follow. I then went to look at camera angles for the different photo’s shots i decided to choose many to create a unique effect for the magazine as i couldn't decide on a permanent one yet. The photoshoot went very successfully and i completed the recce form’s for both locations which gave positive feedback. Furthermore i looked into the flat plans of magazines designs, NME and Q and they gave me a range of ideas and a much more focussed objective on designing my flat plan for my magazine which I carried out to make a unique opening statement through out each page. After designing my flat plan for my magazine and creating a mock up of the front page, I looked into detail at masthead designs, looking into a variety of different fonts that matched the rock/indie specification genre. Through this planning iv discovered a clearer perspective on my magazine and gone into more details about the genre, colours, mock ups, and plans for its future design. Through this it has enlightened my design for the magazine and symbolic simple effect the magazine will have it has opened up the clear target audience and its mode of address. Through this I can continue to develop my magazine with the photoshoot pictures and planning ahead.
