The band will be in different highest and different distance from each other to give a indie- rock look to the magazine I am trying to represent. The band will be wearing dark colours along with pastel colours so that the band stand out on the magazine. This is to show what kind of band they are and to show the type of magazine I am trying to represent.

I will take photos in a number of different shot and angles and see what one fits the magazine the best. I will use shots such as long shots, mid shots and close up shots and high and low angle shots. I will take shots to convey the youth of the band and to convey the success the band in the past months. The different shots will also link with the coverlines that will be on cover of the magazine.

Shots taken against plain backgrounds to be well lit and I will use a flash if the room is too dark without it. This will give the photos a more professional look and will help make the photos and magazine look like other magazines. I will take photos using natural light to see if the photos look more professional or less professional with natural light.

I will use pale white walls and take photos against the blank background so it creates a professional studio look. By doing this makes it easy to read the Coverlines around the magazine. Shot can be taking while the band are performing to show the band in action and to go with the theme of the magazine.

After I have decide on which photo I am going to use I will try out the different areas I may put the photo at. The photo will take up most of the space on the page so that there is no white space on the page I will leave room on the page for the masthead and slogan of the magazine. My photo will be in the center of the magazine cover so that if stands out on the magazine.

I will smooth blemishes on the models, and I will fix any shiny areas on the models or on the background. I will use Photoshop to adjust the photo to make the photo look more like it’s for a music magazine. Crop around the image to see how the photo will fit right on to the magazine. I want the magazine to resemble other popular music magazine that are already out there so the editing needs to be seamless.

Each of the shots will be well lit and I will use a flash if it is too dark without it. By doing this will make the photos more professional looking. The lighting most be unobtrusive so it is professional looking and I will exprement with using natural lighteing. As most of my shots will be taken inside I will rely on using artrifical lighting and the flash of the camera to brighten the shot up.
