This document outlines plans for two photo shoots for a pop music magazine. The first shoot on November 1st will feature model Megan Wilding wearing fashionable clothing in front of a white backdrop. Natural makeup and a mid-shot will be used to portray confidence. Props like a piano or guitar will relate to music. The second shoot on October 31st will feature models Anna Johnson and Shaye Stacey in outfits expressing personality, again with natural makeup in front of a white backdrop. Flowers or a microphone will be used as props and a medium or long shot will fill the double page spread. Both shoots aim to inspire readers and showcase positive role models.

1. photo shoot 1
Date my photos will be taken on the 1st november
2014
Casting person i will be casting in this photoshoot is
Megan Wilding
costume The Costume that she will be wear is
something which is in the latest fashions. This
may be a girly dress. This will appeal to the
target audience because part of their
psychographics in their interests is fashion.
This will make the audience be inspired by
the clothing encouraging them to buy the
magazine.
makeup The makeup of the person in the images will
be quite natural makeup which isn't too over
the top. This is the most effective choice for
my magazine as it is aimed at a younger
target audience therefore if it wasn't natural, it
could influence a negative message to them.
locations There is no specific location for my
photoshoot, however i will be using a white
backdrop. This is an effective choice the pop
genre magazine, as it makes it easier to put
the other features which will be on the
magazine cover also, around it. If there was a
location with a lot going on in the background
it is less likely that the rest of the information
such as the cover lines and masthead will
stand out. Also if you wanted to edit the
persons image it would be easier to edit.
props Some props which i may use for the
photoshoot may include things such as a
piano or a guitar. These are appropriate
choices for my magazine as it connotes
musicality from the musical instruments and
also gives a clear understanding to the
audience what type of magazine it is.
equipment Equipment i will be using is a Camera to take
the photos on.
shot type My shot type i will be using will either be a
close up or mid shot. Mid shot is the shot type
which is conventionally used on every music

2. magazine cover. This is because it focuses
on the artist’s face as well as showing part of
their body to see the costume.Also the mid
shot is what the target audience are typically
appealed to, therefor if i use it, it will
encourage people to buy it.
body language The body language that the model will be
conveying through the image will be quite
confident and cheerful. For example happy
expressions and a striking pose. This will
show the audience that they are a powerful
role model and that they are have positive
attributes which may reflect on the reader.
Photoshoot 2;
date This photoshoot will take place on the 31st
october.
casting The casting for this will be Anna Johnson and
Shaye Stacey
costume The costume for this will be girly clothing
which bring out the personalities of the people
the article is about. This may be clothings
such as casual dresses and tights, or jeans, a
smart top and high heels.This is effective
choice for my magazine because the fashion
aspect will attract the audience making them
aspire to the artists. Also it will allow them to
see their personality through their clothing.
makeup Like the first photo shoot the models will have
natural makeup so the younger target
audience whom my magazine is aimed at
don't think that to become like the artist, they
have to wear lots of makeup.
locations The location will also have a white
background like the first photo shoot(house
style). This is effective because it has a
specific trend of this throughout the whole
magazine giving it a certain look. Also it
makes it look more professional as you can
edit and put all the other features in easier

3. such as the article writing.
props Props i may use will be things such as
flowers, or a microphone.I think that the
flower would be effective as it connotes
femininity. also the microphone conveys the
musical side of the article.
equipment The equipment i will use is a camera to take
the images.
shot type For this photoshoot i will be using will be a
medium or long shot. This is because this
photoshoot images will most likely to used for
my double page spread, so the conventional
shot type for this is a long shot so it can fill up
the whole of one side of the double page
spread.
body language The body language for this one will be quite
cheerful and welcoming. This will be the most
effective choice for the photoshoot because it
will make the audience feel comfortable and
encourages them to read more about the
article.
