- The document outlines planning for images in a magazine, including a front cover shot of a model looking at the camera against black and white backgrounds, reinforcing the logo and magazine theme through costume colors like red. - For the contents page, a variety of people and object photos will be used, including images from concerts over the summer and a photo of someone on the phone for a headline. - A double page spread will feature the same model as the cover in a black shirt with a chain, with a vinyl CD partially covering his face to look minimalist in black and white. Additional props like a guitar may also be used. - A equipment and props list is included, along with a shooting schedule

1. PLANNING IMAGES

2. FRONT COVER
ACTOR/S : Amann Souza
DESCRIPTION OF THE IMAGE : Model looking directly into the camera cadre in order
to crate direct eye contact with the audience.
CONNOTATIONS / SIGNIFIERS: I am planning to experiment with the background of
the magazines by using two different coloured photographic backgrounds. This includes
black and white. This will allow me to see which colour is more effective. At the same
time I will make a clear link to my logo which is also focused around this colour scheme.
I will reinforce it by the model’s costume which is going to be dominated by red. This is
going to be the central focus point within the front cover. Another symbol which I am
planning to use are the Dr. Dre beats which are going to reinforce the subject of music
as well as the article subject.
SHOT/ ANGLE SHOT: I will create a medium close up which will allow me to bring
focus to the facial expression of the model as well as his clothing and style. I will
experiment with different shot angles in order to gather variety of different compositions.
I will then have a variety of photographs to pick from.
COSTUMES: Red leather jacket, black jeans, black, gold or silver chain for a detail.
PROPS: Dr. Dre will empathize the subject of music. At the same time the use of
headphones will allow me to empathize the fact that he is a new artist, as all musicians
start by listening to music to find their role models and muses. I want the model to
engage with the prop.
LOCATION: Studio set up in a classroom
EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Camera, white photographic background, props, tripod.

3. CONTENTS PAGE
For my contents page I am planning to mix images of people as well as photos of object in order to match different
types of features. For the feature ‘Simple Plan’s widescreen new album ‘Obsession’, two superb publications and the
fantastic new ‘Untapped Power’ vinyl deluxe edition’ I am planning to take an image of a vinyl CDs to help the readers
visualise their opportunity. At the same time I will make a link to my logo design which also contains a vintage form of
a CD. For ‘The best releases and live concerts’ I will include images which I took during concert festival in summer.
Although the image compositions are quite limited I will use my editing techniques to combine it well within the
contents page of my magazine. I will also include more than one image from the summer festival within the contents
page as I took quite a few shots of different artists which I can then apply to different features.
Furthermore, I am planning to include an image of a person shouting to the phone for the headline ‘Letters- got
something to say? Let us hear it – shout it out loud!.’ This will catch viewers attention as well as empathize the
message of the headline. At the same time it might encourage people to read the article as well as to write to the
publishing. I am planning to take these images either in a studio on a white background. Besides, I want to take an
image of a ‘tower’ made out CD’s to empathize the number of new releases which is quite large. I will take this set of
images at home as I have many CD’s which I can use. Moreover, I am planning to go through my set of images which
I took during my photography course. Then I will decide whether I can apply any of the shots to my contents features.

4. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
For the double page spread I am planning to take an
portrait image which I am going to place directly on one of
the facing pages. I will use the same actor as for the front
cover of the magazine to show the clear link between the
front cover and the DPS. However, I want to make the
portrait image for the double page spread slightly different.
I want the model to be wearing only a black shirt with a
chain. This will make the image look more minimalistic as
I am planning to turn it into black and white, meaning that
a black shirt will be effectively contrasting with the bright
background. Besides, to make the image even more
interesting I am planning to take a vinyl CD to cover half
of the artist’s face. I will take the image in different angles
to see which one is the most suitable one. As an
additional prop I might also take a guitar, microphone and
beats to try different compositions. I will take the images in
a studio on a white background. Moreover, I will take
different types of shots, if my idea wont be effective in
practise. I will then decide which one is the most suitable
one. Besides, I will definitely need a camera, photographic
backgrounds and a tripod which I’ve already gathered.
