Planning for Images
Q: What is the genre of your Music?
My chosen genre is R&B. For my image I will represent this genre using my models and
make them follow the stereotype, with having them trendy. My front cover image will be a
medium close up; the model will be wearing a hat. This follows the stereotype. For my
double page spread will have a medium long shot. For my extra photos I will have two
different models on my contents page as a preview of what’s in my magazine. The Images
will represent R&B as a style of music for both genders.
Q: What group will you be representing in your images?
I will representing both genders as they both have similar audiences, the age of my models
will be ranging from 16-18 years old this is because the magazine will be read by a similar
age group. The ethnicity will be different but mainly black, as my magazine will be following
the typical R&B artists.
Q: How will you be representing them through the mise-en-scene?
For my front cover my model will be directly looking at the camera, as my front cover model
is a male he wont be smiling as majority of males keep straight faces. My Models will be
wearing hoodies and hats. Where the female model will be a bit more classy in comparison
to the man. The girl will have simple not too much make up on as I would prefer to have a
natural image. I wont be using any extra props.
Q: What camera shots will you be using?
I will be using a medium close for my main image on the front cover as it calls the reader in
more. For my contents I will have the same model but with different pose and on the sidei
will have two different models to give the reader more to look at and giver them a insight of
what other articles are in the magazine, how ever my main shot will be a medium shot, But
for my Double page spread I will be using a medium long shot.
