This document outlines photography plans for a rock music magazine cover and inside pages. It describes using friends as models in various poses and locations to portray an aggressive, rebellious rock style. The cover will feature a close-up of a female model with long hair. Inside pages will include a male model being interviewed in a studio and a smaller image of a guitarist. The editor will also be featured with a friendly smile. A double page spread will show a female band member in a "rocky" Paramore-inspired pose with brightly colored hair.
2. Front cover
• I will use a female friend and I will
get her to wear a black t-shirt so it SNUFF
will fit in with my colour scheme of
red white and black. It will be a
medium close up and she will have
an aggressive face, she will have
longish hair for as it looks quite
rock-like.
• There will be plenty of space above
and around the person so I have
room to fit in my masthead and
feature headlines.
• Some rock bands such as Paramore
Haley Williams has long hair, this
could be for head banging and also
fitting in to the style of being
rebellious and different.
3. Feature headlines
For my feature headline I will use one of my male
friends and location will be in a studio with good
lighting. I will angle the camera looking straight at the
model at eye level. It will show attitude as they are
looking in to the camera. I place the image in a
box, However I will place the image on top of the box so
it looks almost 3D. I will make my model do this pose as
it will help me to do a good cover-line saying that the
certain artist is “sharing his secrets” with my magazine.
This will be more interesting for my audience as they get
to read the opinions of their favourite artist.
I will also include on my
contents page a small image
of a poster that will be
included in the magazine. It
will be of one male posing in
dull light, however he will be
holding a guitar. He will have
stubble so he will look quite
rough and fit in to the rock
look. It will look similar to
this image , in black and
white but I will keep the
guitar in colour. The pose
and angle of the image Is
what I will try to copy.
4. Other images
• I will also include a headshot of the
editor of my magazine, who will be a
female friend. She will have a slight smile
to show the readers that she is friendly
also this is to inform the reader of what
she looks like. Therefore she can take
credit for the magazine, this also gives
the editor chance to directly talk to the
audience on a personal level.
For my double page spread I will have a large image of a female who's
band I am reporting on. I chose female because from my results my
audience would prefer to see a female rather than a male. She will be
posing in a rocky way. My inspiration will come from some “paramore
poses.”
I want my model to be posed like this because it shows attitude but also
fun. The photo is right in your face. Also my model will have bright
coloured hair symbolising rebellion and being mischievous.
