The Photography Plan

1. Photography Plan

2. Front Cover
Shot: Long Shot
This shot shows the artist from head to toes. As the
model represents a new musician the audience
might not be perfectly familiar with her. The Long
Shot gives the opportunity to become an idea of
the artist, the style of clothing and the way how
she expresses herself.
Angle: Eye Level
An Eye Level Shot creates a direct connection from
the artist to the reader. When the model looks
directly at the audience without glancing away it
shows that she is ready to share her secrets with
the reader. This angle also sets an intensifying
atmosphere and brings people to buy the
magazine.
Characters: female, about 18 years old to match
the target audience’s age → identification
Costume: brown hair, relaxed hair style (no braid or
pony tail); wearing a black dress
Location: Staged Studio Shot, with single-coloured
background
Props: red E-Guitar, jewellery like a ring or bracelet
Lighting: bright lighting → revealing the latest news

3. Content Page
Angle: Eye Level
Shot
The artist looks open
and friendly into the
reader’s eyes. This
supports the
purpose of imitating
a friendly
conversation which
is already confirmed
by the medium shot.
Characters: girl group, in their early twenties
Costume: dressed in black and white, curly hair, casual hair
style
Location: set studio shot
Props: none
Lighting: highlights on the artist’s faces, should look natural not
aggressive or exaggerated
Shot: Medium
Shot/Two Shot
This shot shows some
part of the subject in
more detail, whilst still
showing enough for
the audience to feel as
if they were looking at
the whole subject. In
fact, this is an
approximation of how
you would see a
person "in the flesh" if
you were having a
casual conversation.
This shot is a hint that
there will be an
interview with this
artist.

4. Content Page
Shot: Medium Long Shot
This shot shows the poise of body as well as the
clothing style of the artist. The reader gets
involved in the artist’s way of presenting herself.
Angle: Eye Level Shot
Even though the shot is an eye Level shot the
women looks to her right and not directly into the
camera. This makes the reader curious as he gets
the feeling the artist is starring at something he
cannot see or is maybe hiding something.
Characters: female; about 20 years old
Costume: wearing a hooded jacket, blonde hair,
casual hair style
Location: outside but single-coloured
background/environment
Props: none
Lighting: light focused on the face (highlighting it),
shadow on the back  secrets

5. Double Spread Page
Shot: Close Up
The close-up of the
artist emphasizes her
emotional state. A
close-up exaggerates
facial expressions
which convey
emotion. The viewer is
drawn into the
subject's personal
space and shares their
feelings.
Angle: Eye Level Shot
This angle suggests that
the audience is on the
same level with the artist.
She is not looking up on
her fan base but also has
not to stare up at them.
The connection which is
created gives the reader a
feeling of being involved
which fulfils the
expectations they had.
Characters: female, around 18 years old to match the target audience’s age → identification
Costume: red lipstick, as only the face is shown  create affection, casual hair style
Location: studio shot with single-coloured background or simple background with few distractions
as the focus is on the artist
Props: none
Lighting: illumination on the artist to contrast her from the background and put the focus on her
