The document outlines plans for a photo shoot on March 29th featuring models Sam Aizlewood and Georgina Bell. Indoor and outdoor locations are considered, with indoor being chosen due to poor weather. Georgina Bell will be the main model for the cover and contents page, while Sam Aizlewood will feature on the contents page. Conventional magazine camera angles and poses are discussed. Costumes were selected to be stylish and colorful. Props like flowers are planned to complement the outfits and bring out their colors.

1. Photo-shoot Planning
To take place 29th March
Models:
Sam Aizlewood
Georgina Bell
ALL POTOS TAKEN USING IPHONE 7 CAMERA
12.3 MP

2. Locations
Indoor
• I plan on taking my indoor photos against a plain white/cream wall as it then can
easily be photo shopped – either to change the background or to cut around the
model.
• Indoor lighting will be used. Main ceiling light/ side lamp directed towards model
to create shadow.
• Will experiment taking photos with wooden floor included in the shot. Modern
style.
Outdoor
• Images will be taken against coloured walls of houses to add colour to shot.
• In natural lighting, no artificial
• Portishead Marina/docks will be the location to add character. I chose this
location as it has recently been built up and is modern – fitting with my magazines
style.
Side note: On the day of shooting, the weather was gloomy/grey and so I opted for indoor
shooting with artificial, bright lights aimed onto the model in front of the white wall.

4. Conventional camera angles for music magazines:
• The model/s will usually be photographed face on, usually with the model
looking straight into the lense, breaking the fourth wall.
• However it is also common to see models turn away from the camera,
photographing them from a ¾ angle or slanted angle, where they look more
candid. Perhaps for a more natural look.
• It is conventional to see the model photographed up close, in head shot
fashion from eye level, in order to capture a certain facial expression and to
create a sense of false personalisation between reader and editor.
• Regardless, it is also common to see the model’s whole body photographed.
It is done in a way where you can still see enough of the model’s face +
costume. (Full body in frame).
My plan:
• I aim to photograph my main model for the front cover from the knees up
(mid shot) so I can feature a specific look through the costume but also allow
for the readers to see her face in detail.
• For my additional, secondary images on the contents page, I aim to
photograph Sam at eye level, as a close up head shot in order to catch his
candid facial expression. The article he is featured in is also about fashion so
I feel it would benefit not to show the audience a full preview until they turn
to the specific page.
Camera Angles

5. Costumes
I have inserted photos of the costumes I ended up
using. I wanted to get my models in stylish as opposed
to plain clothes. I wanted the featured artist to be as
colourful as possible with bright makeup and bright
but dressy clothes. I dressed her in a blue mesh dress,
a pink low cut dress and a mesh black top with a
glittery pencil skirt. This created for three different
colourful shoots.
For Sam, I dressed him in a jumper that had a quirky
and high fashion/unusual vibe. I feel this will work well
for a fashion article.

6. Props
• I plan to shoot my featured model with props
that will bring out the colour and style in her
costumes. I aim to use pink/bright coloured
flowers to shoot her holding and perhaps some in
her hair. I felt that this would have a
beautiful/feminine touch and that it would bring
out the colours in the design of the page.
• I also plan to photograph Gina posing on a
kitchen stool to achieve a more varied amount of
positions that will help to shape the page.
