3. I put a status on the social networking site called
Facebook asking if anyone would be interested in
being models for my music magazine for the
photography shoot and I got many replies which i
was pleased with. I decided on these four people to
be my models as I believe they would suit the genre
of the magazine best. They all have a very similar
appearance and fit in with the stereotype based
around the genre of the magazine. I e-mailed them
asking if they would be available for the
photography shoot.

and for the double page spread and contents page.

7. I needed to plan my location for my shoot of images to use for my front cover, contents page
and double page spread.
I considered various locations such as a music room Possible props for photo shoot for double
with props such as headphones, guitar, microphone page spread
etc. and I also considered using a photography
studio.
I decided to take my photos for my front cover in a
photography studio as I believe this would create
the correct affect on the photo with strong
lighting to highlight the models facial expression
and body language. I also chose this as magazines I
researched into such as “Kerrang!” And
“Rocksound” both use photography studios for
their front cover image as it looks professional and
has a simple background which can be
manipulated easily and allows text to be read easy
and overall looks better on the front cover.

names Thunder
Survey
I surveyed my class mates for their opinion
on the names and which one’s they Omen
preferred and would be best. The most Break Out
said “Reckless” was the best, they said it
sounded like a rock/metal magazine name Hectic
as the genre has a reputation of reckless
behaviour. They also liked “Pressure” and Reckless
“Meltdown” they liked meltdown as it also Pressure
had a metal/rock feel to it as the genre
features many breakdowns in the songs Meltdown

17. I started off by producing a calendar to plan when and what to do on different days to get
myself organised and so I was focussed on getting the work finished for the deadline. It also
helped me plan to do in each lesson I had so I could use my time wisely. I then moved on to
organising my models where I contacted four friends who I thought would be great for the
genre of the magazine through Facebook and e-mail. As soon as I knew they were available I
went ahead to book the photography studio for my first shoot to make sure I could get a
good slot which all my models were available for. Once it was booked I started looking into
the costume side of the shoot, I did this by looking through both Kerrang! And Rocksound
magazines which gave me plenty of ideas of different items of clothing the models could
wear and which I could get a hold of easily. Luckily the models all had the clothing I had in
mind as they all listen to the genre of music my magazine is – rock/metal/hardcore so they
were perfect for the job and all had the right image to them. I did the same for my second
photography shoot – my model for that one also all had the correct clothing as well as body
modification; stretchers and tattoos which is something heavily stereotyped with the genre
of music in modern times so he was a perfect model for my magazine. For both shoots I
used my Pentax DSLR camera which I was very familiar and comftable with using so I was
confident when taking my images. Both shoots went very successfully which I was pleased
with and I believe I had good strong images which would work well for my magazine. I then
moved on to looking at flat plans for Kerrang! and then produced my own after looking
through many Kerrang! magazines giving me a good idea and influenced my idea of the
layout and structure of a music magazine with a similar genre.
