This calendar is my plan and guidance
of the work in which I need to have
completed for planning. I have
planned the date of photo shoot and
the location they need to be done. This
way I can visually be reminded of what
I need to do.

3. When planning to find models for my magazine I made
announcements on peoples facebook pages to find out
if people would be interested in doing this for me. For my
magazine im looking for people in which have a ‗certain
look‘ so its important that I get the people I want. I am
also considering getting some images of a group of
people seeing as in the urban music industry they are
very big! The first person I spoke to about this was my
friend ―Brooklyn Accastello‖ and I originally spoke to her
via facebook it then turned into text messages which we
spoke about venues and times when we are both
available to meet up.

4. At this stage in my planning I've asked around of
people who can model for me, and I have started to
get an idea of certain locations in which I can do
these shoots.. I want to get a range of images so that I
can choose the best ones that fit my certain brief.

5. I used to attend a theatre and dance school twice
a week before joining college and they do urban
dance which would also fit with my magazine. Im in
the process of emailing my old teacher to see if its at
all possible for me to attend one of the classes and
take some images to put into my magazine. Once I
have heard back from them im planning to move on
and actually take the images which I can then
begin to create the story board for my own
magazine.

7.  When organising my costumes I looked at
pictures of urban clothing, and stars to get a
real understanding of what looks best at
capturing the brief. I want to create and
edgy, grungy look. For this I want to make
sure I use
- trainers –Jeans –Makeup –pretty girly tops
However because im planning to take
pictures of a dance troop its also important I
have images of people in hoodies and
trackies which could fit the stereotype of
what urban music leads to.
 For the props im going to try my best to keep
it very minimal because its important for me
that my magazine shows how important in
‗urban music‘ it is that people really see the
music for what it is and not only the look of
the people who either sing or produce it. I
would like to use microphone, dance
studios, stereo's as they are all typical things
in which you would expect to see in a
magazine.

12.  For my first location, I have chosen the dance studio
at Sir William Borlase Grammar School. The dance
studio has a wall of mirrors and a big open dance
floor. Seeing as the studio is in use almost all the time
safety checks have been put in place. This was a
perfect location for me to use, seeing as its already
set up to how I need and intend it to be used. The
studio offered me a realistic setting for my photo-
shoot which concluded that the location seemed
professional enough to be in a magazine. As I
wanted the studio look as a feature in my magazine
it was perfect to get pictures of a live rehearsal.

14.  For my second location I have chosen to do a photo-shoot in a
local ally, in High Wycombe. This ally in particular has walls
covered in graffiti and looks almost ‗grungy‘. Not many safety
checks have been done due to the fact that it‘s a public place
and there is no health and safety issues around electricity or
such likes. The only safety check in which needs to be monitored
is that of our self-awareness of where we are and at what time.
This ally offers me a realistic setting for the shoot as it works well
with the urban magazine in which I am trying to create. As well
as the graffiti being a big part of the reason I chose this location
I also wanted to use it because of the open space it provides
meaning I can use a whole range of angels and images to
create messages through my images.
