My shoot will be taking place in two places, my dance studio and my house (mainly bedroom as pictured). The dance studio has different walls inside with different decoration on (such as Brick Wall effect and Music Posters) and my house will give that more homely feeling to my article. As the band Beth is going to be a ‘Super Fan’ to are Blink 182, the setting of my bedroom makes this look believable and real, as there is a huge flag with their logo on and a huge poster next to it.

Location – Photo Shoot

Practice PhotosAs we don’t go to the studio on a Friday Night, we just practiced the shoot on my landing in the house. It worked out quite well because there is a Blink 182 canvas on that wall so it linked in very well. We also didn’t bother with make – up etc as it was just a practice, but Beth already had a Blink shirt on so it worked out well for me. I want to give the impression in my article that Beth doesn’t care about anything apart from this band and she isn’t afraid to show it. So in this first photo I took, I asked Beth to stand with a huge grin on her face to make it look like she is proud of her title of ‘Super Fan’.

Practice Photos

Even though we were just messing around for this, I really like this photo that I got of Beth because you can clearly see the band shirt and she looks very natural and comfortable in front of the camera.

Practice Photos

With this photo, we wanted to make it look like Beth is beyond obsessed, so she stood up and leaned against the flag. I am happy with this image as Beth genuinely looks distressed about the fact she loves this band so much. I want the reader to be entertained as well as informed.

Stories and HeadlinesThere needs to be a variety of stories mentioned on my magazine cover in order to attract more readers and buyers. I have thought of different headlines and summaries to go onto my cover. All of the ideas are based on Rock Music Bands and their members as my genre is Rock so I need to keep the information relevant to the theme. I have also thought of some competitions to include to draw the reader in.

‘Contents’ Title

In my Initial Ideas PowerPoint, I mentioned that I had found various scrap book techniques that I could possibly use in my magazine. I really like the Bunting Flag idea especially and I feel that I could use this in my contents page. I have seen Bunting with writing on and I think I could make on the computer flags that spell out the word ‘Contents’ and that are Pink, Blue and Yellow (three of the colours taken from my scheme). I would also like the writing to be in the same font as my Masthead because I think it will tie in well and make my magazine look more tidier.

Stories and Sections Like in Kerrang, a contents page looks more organised if the stories are in different categories, this way the reader can go straight to an area of interest if they prefer than reading through the full issue. On average, there are about nineteen stories in an issue of Kerrang so I will be using roughly the same amount in my magazine. I would also like to have six or seven different types of stories in my magazine in order to provide the reader with a diverse selection of content. I have thought of my different sections and I have also thought of the stories that can go into them.

Main Headline - Ideas‘SUPER FAN?!’‘HAIL BLINK 182’‘FULL TIME DIE HARD’‘SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH A BAND AT THE ROCK SHOW’‘WATCHING, WAITING, CRYING, FAINTING’‘I’M FEELING THIS!’‘ALWAYS, I KNOW, I’LL BE AT THE BLINK SHOW’‘EXCESSIVE SPENDING LETS ME KNOW SHE CARES’

I have thought of some headlines for my article on the double page. Most of them are Blink 182 lyrics that have been slightly adapted to fit my story and I think this will humour Blink fans as they will know the lyrics and this could draw more readers in.

Main Title Earlier in the year, I experimented in Photoshop following a tutorial for placing an image in text. I would really like to include this technique in my magazine and I think a good place to possibly use it would be for the main title of my double page spread. I have found some images on the internet that I think would be suitable for this technique. All of the chosen images are linked to Blink 182 as they are the band my ‘super fan’ is obsessed with.

Question IdeasAs I have decided to set out my article as an interview between me and the ‘Super Fan’, I have thought of some questions that I am going to include in my piece. I am going to ask Beth these questions and then publish her answers. I am looking to ask round about 11 questions because of how many were asked in the issue of Kerrang that I analysed and that seemed like a good amount. I have thought of the following:

-How long have you devoted your life to Blink 182?-Have you ever met any members?-Roughly, how much would you say you have spent on this band?-What is your favourite piece of memorabilia and why?-When was the first time you say the boys live? -How did you feel when you first saw them?-Have the band ever done anything that upset you?-If you could meet Blink 182 right now, what would you say?-How have this band inspired you on the music front?-Do you have any other favourite bands?-How do your family and friends feel about your obsession?
