1. Production Plan
The equipment I will be using during the photography process of my magazine will be a camera. This
is so I can take the pictures for my front cover, contents page and my double page spread. To keep
the camera in good condition I will need to make sure I don’t get it wet causing it to stop working,
and I look after it by making sure I know where it is, and not dropping it anywhere. The date I will be
taking my photos on will be the 10th of January. It will take around a couple of hours. The locations
of the pictures I will be taking are in a plain room against a plain white wall to make sure that the
person in the photo stands out and nothing distracts them so they are the main focus. I will also take
some pictures outside like in a garden to create a verisimilitude atmosphere. The person in my
pictures will be my sister who is aged 20; I have used this person because it fits the character I am
using in my double page spreads which is a young female artist that is new to the music industry.
The costume she will be wearing will be an expensive dressed up outfit that shows she is got a lot of
money being a famous musician and making her look all dressed up will make her look like she is
something special and stand out from normal every day people. The colour of the clothing will be a
dark dull colour like black to represent she is a rock singer, as they are normally dressed quite dark.
Also wearing clothing like dresses and so on will show the feminism side of her. The person in my
pictures will also be wearing a lot of heavy make up to also represent the rock look. The props used
in my images will be a microphone, the effect this will have is that it will represent what the person
in my photo is famous for which is singing. I will also use props like an IPod to represent that it is a
music magazine and it can also be an advertisement on the magazine to draw people in, like ‘win a
free iPod touch!’ Other props I might use could be things like certain clothing like jewellery to add
more of an effect on the person in my pictures. The lighting in my photos will be a low key lighting in
the inside pictures to create a party atmosphere with the dark lighting and to show that the person
in my pictures is a rock singer, which are normally quite dark. And then for the outdoor ones a high
key lighting to represent the fact it’s day time.
