Music Magazine Photos Simple Plan

MY MUSIC MAGAZINE
PHOTOS PLAN

2. The genre of music I have picked for my music magazine is indie/alternative
music. I have done research on how people who like indie music would usually
dress and their sort of style.
I also found out that indie/alternative images usually have a lot of dark
colours so for example use a black background (possibly using a green screen
or maybe a black wall of some kind), the people are usually dressed in black
clothing or their clothing has a unique pattern on. Also quite a lot of indie
pictures are taken in black and white.
Examples of indie/alternative bands are :
The kooks
Arctic Monkeys (although they may be more indie Rock)
Peace
Bombay Bicycle club
Daughter
INDIE/ALTERNATIVE MUSIC

3. These are all great
examples of the
type of pictures I
was discussing in
my last slide.

4. Girls
In one shot I am going to have the girls in black tops and one of them with
either a opened shirt or kimono with black jeans. The other will just wear the
black top with no form of jacket but she will wear a black skater skirt with
black tights.
One black top will be a long sleeved crop turtle neck like the top in the top
left corner.
One another shot I will have them in clothing with unique patterns as I said
indie clothing is usually black clothing or unique patterns. One will wear a
cropped shirt which has a pattern on. With that she will wear black trousers.
The other girl will wear a cropped turtle neck black and white striped top with
black jeans and possibly leather jacket.
CLOTHES

5. Boys
In one shot I will have all 3 boys in different clothes.
Jeans and a unique patterned top or shirt with smart shoes and an indie like
jacket. Either casual or denim.
Or black jeans with a jumper and casual indie like jacket.
It is a simple yet effective look.
CLOTHES

6. I will give both girls a purple-ish colour for their lips and a smokey eye for
their eye make up. Casual mascara for the eyelashes and their own natural
foundation.
I want it to be subtle but also to stand out, this is why I have used the colours
I have. These are typical indie colours, yet they would usually have either a
very dark lip or a very pale lip. I have contrasted with this here and used a
medium/dark purple.
MAKE UP

7. My aim is to try and recreate a few pictures.
Here is one example.
I’d really like to recreate this one of Bombay Bicycle club but with a more
serious look. I will have the 3 boys sit somewhere, possibly in front of a
garage or something similar and have their hands rested on their knees as they
keep their knees up and look directly at the camera.
