1. Photography Planning
FRONT COVER 1
My model will be male and the location will be a
studio setting. I will only photograph one person to
appear on the cover so the shot can be a medium
close up; taken from the chest up, and the angle
will be straight on, at eye level, as I think this is
more engaging.
I may look at using a prop on my cover, something
for the model to hold, the example here is a
cigarette, which I will not use, as I don’t want to be
seen as encouraging smoking for my audience as
this could include young people too and I want my
magazine to be a positive influence. However I may
consider using a different prop.
My model’s costume will consist of dull colours,
like blacks and greys, as I don’t want them in bright
colours, I want them to look serious and this way,
the text will stand out too as I am fulfilling a design
niche and so my colours are more muted, which
won’t be seen over bright colours. I also think this
will look classier, than a mess of colour that would
make it difficult to focus on the stories.
FRONT COVER 2
In this plan I have again used one male model. The
shot will be a medium long shot, from the knees
up, at an eye level angle, to engage the audience
but to make the subject slightly more isolated than
in a medium close up.
This shot also allows including a prop and in this
case a guitar has been used. I may choose to use a
guitar as a prop as it is specific to the music theme
and in particular, the rock genre I have.
I have decided again on the location of the shot to
be in a studio as I think this looks more
professional and classier than if they were
somewhere with little meaning making the image
look busy and messier.
Again I have chosen to have my model in a simple
costume with dark and muted colours, to stand
out against the white background that I will use
and so they look professional. This will consist of
jeans and a t-shirt- really simple clothing.

2. CONTENTS PAGE 1
Model: Using the singer
from my contents page
with the rest of the band,
4 male models.
Shot: medium long shot,
from the knees up to get
the full band in and more
casual.
Angle: slightly lower than
eye level so looking up at
the models, seems more
aspirational.
Location: I want this to be a more relaxed shot, like you’re seeing an exclusive shot of the band not
looking professional and serious, so I chose for this one to be an on location shot, not in a studio.
Costume and Mise en scene: I want my models to wear natural clothing so it doesn’t look too staged
and I want it to look effortless, so I will use costumes of jeans, t-shirts and loose jackets, all with a
similar sort of colour scheme, so it does look like they are still a band.As this is supposed to be a
natural shot, I want the background to reflect this and be taken outside, with trees or some form of
nature outside. I don’t want the models stood in a line either looking posed; I want them in a group,
all messing around and looking comfortable together.
CONTENTS PAGE 2
Model: One male model,
a famous lead singer.
Shot: taken from the
waist up, with the model
facing away, in a concert
or gig situation.
Angle: straight forward
standard eye level shot.
Location:Ideally I would
like my model in a
concert or gig situation, in
which they are facing
away,into the audience. So I’d like my shot to be on location, giving you the exclusive.
Costume and Mise en scene: I would like my model to be wearing what is typical of rock musicians
to wear at their own gigs, so comfortable but stylish clothes, so maybe jeans, and a nice top,
something considered up to date and trendy to the target audience. I would like to capture the idea
of the audience in front without actually seeing them, so I will need to do this using light.

3. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD 1
Model: One male model, the same one as
featured on the front cover.
Shot:medium close up, from the chest up,
so it’s engaging to the audience.
Angle: Eye level, again to engage the
audience, even though the model may not
be looking directly at the camera, it makes
the audience feel included.
Location: I want my double page spread
shot to be taken in a studio, because I think
this would look more sophisticated and
classy.
Costume and Mise en scene: I would like
my model to be wearing something fairly
smart, but not to the extent of the example
image I have, maybe wearing a shirt and
jeans, to portray the sophistication image
more thoroughly and to be taken seriously.
DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD 2
Model: one male singer, the same as on
my front cover.
Shot: I would consider a long shot for
my double page spread, to get the full
image of the singer.
Angle:Taken at eye level, so the singer is
still engaged with the audience.
Location: I think this location type is
effective, it had been taken in a studio,
but made to look like it is on location,
but the photographer still has full
control over all the variables.
Costume and Mise en scene: I may have
my model dressed really simply, black
jeans and plain white t-shirt, to seem
casual and relaxed. I think the spacing of
props is good, and may use this type of
prop in my shoot, e.g., the guitar.
