3. I chose Heaton Woods as my first location as I felt that it would
add a good vibe to my magazine. I felt like using an outdoor,
woodland location would add a different vibe to my Indie magazine
and is a bit of an alternative choice in comparison to which
locations are used for photos in other music magazines, for
example, rock music magazines tend to have there photos taken
on a black background or in a studio during rehearsals with all the
equipment and instruments in view. This location also gave me the
opportunity to pose my model in order to make her look innocent
and the natural lighting helped to give my photos a good
brightness that could easily be altered if I was to go for a darker
effect within my magazine. I posed my model on different levels
and took a variation of photos with some close ups and others as
full length images, this gave me the opportunity to chose the type
of shot I wanted to use for my cover page image.

5. I used a home location as it enabled me to manipulate the
lighting to achieve the affect that I desired. It also meant I was
not limited to a number of outfits as my model could easily get
changed within this environment. I chose to use the plain white
background as I felt that it would make it easy to edit on
Photoshop when using the images for my magazine. I posed my
model in ways that I thought would work effectively for my
magazine as I was already aware of what my double page
spread and front cover would consist of. My model stated that
she would feel more comfortable posing for my photos at an
indoor location so to achieve the best outcome I compromised
and did a mixture of the two to give me a variation of images
that I could use.

7. In order to get a variation of models for my magazine I used
school as one of the locations. I chose to this as the outside of
the school building fitted to the affect I wanted to create and it
also meant that I could organise my photo-shoot with people
who had difficulty meeting out of school time. In some images I
used the background of the fence outside the school building as
like using Heaton Wood it gave a natural and relaxed feeling to
my photos and this is the affect I think Indie music has on its
listeners. The green-screen background was used mainly on my
female models as I wanted them to be stand alone a plain
background so the green screen ensured that editing out the
background was less complicated to do and I could achieve
what I wanted to.
