Planning!! - Photo shoot

The Photo Shoot!!


For my photo shoot I had planned on  finding a suitable area in which goes with the over all theme of my magazine cover, Firstly i planned on having my main star leaning against a brick wall however, i changed this plan to having them in a park up against a tree therefore, this was more suitable with my overall green theme and also this would connote to the reader how my main star is a natural talent and this is why i chose to have my first photo shoot in this location.

The props and costumes that where needed for this photo shoot where simple as to keep my main character in the theme of my magazine i had him wear a lime green top with an abstract penguin on it which would connote youth and still keep with the theme of my magazine cover. This item needed to be borrowed by a friend as it matched my theme and luckily fit my main artist perfectly.

Another major prop that made it clear to the audience that my main character was a DJ where the lime green headphones which where worn during the photo shoot as this is a music magazine and also because they too where in keeping with my over all theme of my magazine cover. These headphones where already my main characters and where suggested by him and i found that it added well to his overall image.

Furthermore, another prop that was used in the overall image of my main artist where some topless blue gloves which connoted the fashion side of my main character which would amplify my characters overall appeal as he is still young and in keeping with trends. This could even connote the image of my main character being a trend setter being with the clothing and accessories.

A final prop that was used in this magazine was a lime green chair in an environment with a lime green backdrop. This was a brilliant spot to hold the photo shoot for a side image as it is completely lime green and follows the colour scheme of my magazine.
















The Second Photo Shoot!


The second photo shoot was taken with my original plan of having my model leaning against a wall and this was because i felt as though it would suite the over all look of my magazine whilst highlighting the importance of my model and the character that he was portraying.

Further costumes that where used in my second photo shoot where similarly to the first first model a pair of earphones however, these where different and much smaller this was because this model was posing for one of the more minor characters in my magazine which was going to be situated on the contents page. These again where chosen to match the theme of my magazine as one of the main colours where lime green.

Following this a costume item that was used in the second photo shoot was a black T-shirt that with a lime green face on it. The black and lime green really go well together and the face really stood out on the T - shirt again this was to be in keeping with the theme of the magazine and again similarly to the first model connotes trend and fashion to the audience.

Finally a costume prop that was used in the second photo shoot was a white jacket which was lined with a lime green zippier which gave the final touches to the second models over all look. This was also chosen to remain with the theme of the magazine.
















The Third Photo shoot!


Finally there was a final photo shoot which was taken for the main article of my magazine cover. This image was taken from high ground over looking the town with the model looking towards view and having his arms out freely. This was chosen like this to connote how my main star has high hopes and wishes to rise to the top and be the best. This pose on of this character was to connote being free and confident which i feel was done well.

A final costume change was required for this photo shoot and this was the purple top and this was to show indifference in the fully green surroundings and also as this matched the colour scheme of my magazine.

There where only two models in my magazine and these where chosen due to their overall appearance and persona. First of all my main model was chosen due to his unusual appearance in terms of hair, his hair is more then unusual and i found suited the type of character that i was trying to portray in my magazine. Also his look shows confidence which i wanted my model to have.

My second model was chosen due to his overall appearance as he has a strong and masculine appearance which i felt suited the role again that i was looking for, I also felt as though his appearance would appeal to the female audience which would also enhance the appeal of my magazine.














The models and costumes used where all original and where chosen for the appeal of my magazine.
