7. Model
For my magazine cover picture I will use a medium close up of a
girl, wearing orange and black clothes, inspired by Hayley Williams on the
cover of Kerrang. She will be looking directly at the camera either smiling
or a strong face expression showing that she is strong and independent.
I will use the same model on the double page spread, she will be sat down
and it will be a long shot to show off her tattoos which the article will be
about as she is the main star artist featuring in my magazine. She will be
looking off the camera as if she’s looking at the text drawing attention to it.
I will use a variety of different models on my contents page and front cover
because I want the layout to be more picture filled than text, they will be
wearing leather and have dark make up on because this is representative of
the rock genre.
Costumes
The model will be wearing a black leather jacket as I feel the connotations
of this are rebellion and rock which is the genre of my magazine. Her hair
will be down to symbolise freedom which the magazine should give the
audience, freedom to express themselves. I will also use a model with short
hair because this shows a daring attitude and is associated with this
specific genre, it makes the model look strong and dominant.
Props
I will use a picture of the guitar as one of the posters because it is the main
instrument people think of when thinking of the rock genre and I think
this will attract the audience. I will use green glasses because they give the
models and edge and are individualistic.
Locations
The majority of my photographs will be taken in a studio with a white
background as this allows me to manipulate and experiment with the
pictures more, the guitar will have a background of the New York skyline
as I feel this would attract the eye and mix things up making the magazine
look more edgy and exciting. My double page spread photograph will also
be taken in a studio, the model will be sat down and it will fill the majority
of the right page and the bottom of the left, with the text above her legs.
