The document discusses props for a blues music magazine cover photo shoot. It proposes using a piano as the main prop to represent blues music and catch readers' attention. A black and white piano could stand out visually against a black and white backdrop. Clothing the model in a suit is also discussed, as suits represent professional blues musicians. Finally, a top hat is suggested to help the model embody a blues character and reference the film The Blues Brothers, drawing readers in. The props aim to portray the model as a blues musician and make the magazine cover visually appealing and representative of blues music.

This is Alastair, I auditioned him for my
magazine because he has great posture, he
has been in other modelling photo shoots
before which would give him an advantage
to the magazine and what I would like to
work with. Alastair looks like a musician
and would support the blues roll, he also
would fit the part because he has the
model features like muscle and stylish hair
which would make the magazine stand out
more. Alastair can use a variety of poses
and suites a variety of clothing which helps
to create the character used on the front
cover and throughout the magazine.
Alastair’s posture helps with the model
pose because the customer would want to
be more like the model ( Alastair) and use
his style as a idol to copy. Over all Alastair
would be a great choice because he has a
great fascia and character to become a
music artist on the front cover of the blues
magazine.
3.
This is Joe, I auditioned him for my
magazine because he would be a suitable
for a blues musician on the front cover and
other pages contained inside the
magazine, he has great model poses that
he could use to make the magazine stand
out. Joe has the look of a blues musician
and so would fit with the criteria with the
blues magazine that I need. Joe has
intended to use his experience to show a
variety of poses which shown he has the
capability of becoming the model for the
magazine, this is because he is tall and
skinny and his outlook would be advisable
to look like a blues musician. Joes choice of
pose in this photo shows that he is focused
and willing to conduct his ideas to the
character on the front cover and throughout the magazine. Over all Joe would be a
great choice but his ideas could be
improved to show more of a musician look
then a cloths advertisement model look.
4.
This is Simon, I auditioned him for my
magazine because he has great word
ethnicity about his character, he has a
variety of different model poses he could
use. Simon would be good to use because
the genre of blues comes from a black
background which would make Simon fit
the part, he also has aesthetics which
would make him stand out on the
magazine for the customer to see. Simon
shows interest into the modelling shoot
but does not have the right intensions for
the character and stance to become a
look a like blues musician. I would like to
take Simon further but he does not have
the attitude to become the musician.
Simon does not have straight posture
and does not have the right out look for
the Character. Over all Simon wouldn’t
fully suit the part even though his ethnic
group would suit a blues musician.
5.
This is Tom, I auditioned him to be the model for
my magazine because he has a model look about
him, he has stylish hair, great posture, has been a
model before which gives him a advantage. Tom
has a blues musician look about him which fits
the criteria of the magazine I need, he has a
musical talent that also would fit with the criteria
and also he would make the magazine stand out
because of his model features and model looks of
a blues player. Tom can produce a variety of poses
that help to create the character for the front of
the blues magazine, he can also play a variety of
instruments which help to give the realistic vision
that he is a blues musician. Tom conducts him
self to show that he is interested into the
character and can enhance the characters
capability that he is a new and up coming blues
musician. Tom has great posture and has a great
out look about him, he would be perfect to play
as a blues musician because he has the right body
type and fascia like a blues musician. Over all
Tom has a great potential to become the main
model for my magazine and front cover.
6.
This is Liam, I auditioned him for the magazine
because he looks like a blues player, he can be
linked to look like one of the blues brothers
which is an advantage because it would make the
magazine stand out. Liam has good posture and a
musician character about him, he has a variety of
poses that would be useful for a photo shoot with
him. Liam has had experience in modelling and
photo shoots for cloths range and this would be a
positive aspect because if he was to be chosen he
would suit the cloths for the character which
would be a suit. Liam can produce a range of
poses and shows great ambition for the part, he
can play the piano and guitar which also gives a
positive because he can relate to the character. I
have chosen Liam for my top 5 models because he
has had experience, shows huge interest into the
character and is consistent. Over all Liam would
suit the part of the blues musician and would
help the magazine to show that it is a blues
magazine with out looking at the masthead or
inside
7. My intentions for props
For my music magazine blues cover, I had a picture of my model playing the piano, this
was done in casual clothes, This was because the location and time of day we had to take
the photos and the limited resources we had. The costume I would of like my model to
wear would be a black suit because that is what a blues musician would normally wear
and it is a tradition for them to wear a type of suit, this can also be stereotyped at blues
musician. I also wanted my model to wear a white shirt which would blend in with the
black and white effect. A top hat would also be useful because its help to create the
character of a blues player. I want to use a piano as a prop to make the front cover stand
out, this will help to promote the magazine more and show that it is a blues magazine.
8.
One of the main props I want for my magazine is
the piano, this is because it is know to be part of
blues music and is a attractive instrument that’s
stands out. I decided to choose this instrument
because it is a striking and attractive instrument
which will catch the eye of its targeted audience
and even other audiences who would be attracted
to the Magazines front cover. The Shape of the
magazine can be transformed into a background
shape or text box which will also make the
magazine more attractive and stand out to be of
professional standards. The Piano can be made
to be black and wrote and still stand out because
the black and white keys, this will also give off a
reflective glow to the keys in the light when
taking the front cover photograph and can be
photo shopped to have more of a reflective glow
and would be more attractive as well.
9.
For the clothing of the musician on the front
cover and through out the magazine. My
chosen idea would be for him to wear a suit,
this is because that blues musicians are
known to wear suits and it would also make
the model look classy and more attractive
which would help the magazine stand out
because it would look more professional. The
suits would show that the character is a
professional musician and that he puts
thought into his music and style to show his
image is of a blues player. My chosen model
would wear a suit in which I intend to use as
clothing, this will make an impact as well
using the black and white effect I wish to use
on the front cover and the customer would be
attracted to the out look of the magazine and
the model including the cloths he is wearing.
10. I would want to use a top hat
because this helps the model stand
out more and gives him more
character to become a blues
musician. The top hat is most
known in the music industry to
belong to blues players and is a
tradition to wear top hats
sometimes when playing. The hat
also can be linked to the film ‘The
blues brothers’, this would make
the magazine stand out more
because the customer would know
it reminds them of the film and the
band ‘blues brothers’ . The hat
would stand out on the front cover
because it would intergrade with
the black and white effect and
show that the magazine is
professional and classy.
