Magazine contents – Photo shoot Plan

Name:                                     Date:                                       Location:

Item(s) / Model(s) to be photographed	Lighting / Atmosphere	Background / Mise en scene	Details of editing
The same model will be shot. Another female artist will be shot in different outfits doing different poses. Thumbnail image of the front cover. Model holding flowers and a microphone	I will vary from taking my images inside and outside using both naturalistic lighting and artificial lighting ensuring that everyone in the image can be seen properly and clearly. All my shots will be well lit, using the flash of a camera were necessary, this will make my photos seem more professional.	Photos will also be taken on a pale plain background to create a more professional approach and look to the magazine. I will also experiment on other backgrounds to see which I feel works best. Have model Holding microphone or her CD cover.	Adjust photo setting and make it more edgy. If needs be crop image allowing for the main detail to be the main focus. Use photo shop to allow images to be as professional as possible, ensuring all is clear without any blurs. Consider different editing effects e.g. black and white, chrome etc.

I will firstly use a plain background so that the focus is directly on the main artist herself. This will also allow for the readers attention to not be distracted from the main model.

By implying a plan and very naturalistic and plain background it will look more professional and will allow for the headlines and cover lines to be easily made out.

Once I have made my final decision on my main image, I will then start to create my front cover by placing different things in suitable positions on the front cover

As I will have the main image taking up most of the page I will have it placed in the

Middle. I will then have to plan out the size of the rest of the information  that needs included

Use photo shop to adjust anything on the photo that needs added or removed, e.g. blemishes etc.

Crop out the parts of the image that aren’t needed.

Ensure that my magazine has a professional approach to it. I will have to ensure this by making sure my editing is up to a good standard.
