Research + Planning: Pose Research

From looking that these magazines of my genre for pose research I have found that they are all shot from a medium long shot and all of them are looking straight into the camera. I think this is to make it look more intimidating so it easily catches the readers attention and also fits to the genre of music. Also when it is a band shot (which I could choose for my front cover) the main singer is always larger and more in the foreground where as all of the other band members are shown in the background. 

From this I think I will have my model stood front on the the camera and looking straight down the lense.

Research + Planning: Weather Forcast

This is the weather forcast for the next few weeks, using this I will need to plan which are the best days for me to shoot outside, I will need to choose a day when it is not raining and I would probably prefer it to be sunny however abit of cloud wont ruin my shoot.

Research + Planning: Equipment and Software List

Research + Planning: Looking for a Location?

I started looking at what other magazines used for mise-en-scene however alot of magazines just used a plain background. I think I want my image to be against a brick wall or in a run down area like a car park. I am still concidering this.

Research + Planning: Costume and Props List

Hairstyle:

My hairstyle will have to be quite bright or dyed in some places. I think I am going to temporarily dye my models hair red at the front as my main model already has dark hair and a fringe. This is why I chose her as my model.

Clothing:

This is the style of clothing that I want my model to wear throughout my magazine.

Props/Accesories:















I am going to buy some fake piercings for my model as it makes them look more alternative.
