The document discusses planning the location and photograph for a magazine cover shoot. It proposes shooting in an empty classroom or behind the stage at school for a simple, plain background with no natural lighting. This would allow the use of artificial lights to focus on and create dramatic shadows for the main subject, highlighting a necklace. It also suggests photographing just the femme fatal character for the magazine cover to attract readers through her sex appeal while focusing on the necklace, an important narrative element.

1. Planning for magazine cover

2. Mock up

3. Location
For the Location for magazine front cover photography it would be simple to chose places because
just like my Poster shoot I want a plan background so the actress is the main focus. Also like the
poster shoot I would like the location to be dark and to have no natural lightening, this is so I can use
my own lights to create dramatic shadows and to focus the light on certain parts. For example I would
like the necklace to be in the photo as it is a big part of the narrative, so with the lighting I would
shine it on to the necklace to make it glisten, this would make it stand out and make it a main feature
you see on the front cover.
I would use places within school as it is cost effective, less time consuming and easy to find a place of
my demands, I would use a empty class room with no window or with blinds or I could use the class
room in the evening when it is dark.
Or
Behind the stage where it has no natural lightening at anytime during the day so I could use this
anytime this would be good to fit around a schedule. The stage also has a big white canvas which I
would use for the plain background I wanted.

4. Photograph
1 For the photograph I would like to use just
one character because I don’t the magazine
to be as revealing as the poster would be
using props and the three actors. I have
chosen to use the femme fatal because she is
the main character out of the three main
people, she metals with both men and
course the trouble. Also it gives the
magazine sex appeal because the femme
2 fatal is very flirty and in control, girls will see
her and idolise her and men will see her and
fancy her, this makes the magazine
attractive. By using the femme fatal on the
front cover it allows me to get a close up on
her face showing of the necklace (which is a
big part of the narrative).

5. These are examples of photographs I could take inspiration from for the front
cover and poster. Also magazine front cover examples which I like and could
get examples from, of the features, language used, set out of page and
position of actors .
