PHOTOGRAPHY PLANNING By Daniel Clipperton

FRONT COVER Shot- Medium Shot Angle- Eye line The main image will be of a man looking out at the audience (direct address), catching their attention and drawing them into viewing the magazine. The models eyes will be set slightly to one side adding a slight air of arrogance, showing his self-belief. He will be casually dressed in stereotypically indie teenage clothing, making her relatable to the audience of 16-24 year olds. He will only be seen form the waist up as he is the focal point of the cover and will be wearing an unbranded shirt and a jacket. Following a convention of Magazine front covers, the main image will be shot in a studio setting with high key lighting, focusing upon the light and dark areas of males face. The character will be blocked against white space therefore it will be straightforward to remove the background on Photoshop. There will also be three sub-images on the front cover, these will consist of a Poster image (Freebie), Album/CD art and a guitar shaped memory stick (Freebie). I have chosen these images as they will entice the audience into purchasing the magazine as they’ll feel that their value for money. Due to the additional content such as extras (Posters/Photos and Freebies).

CONTENTS PAGE Shot- Long Shot Angle-Eye Line A long shot of a new upcoming band, blocked against a backdrop of a white wall, that gives the impression of them standing out from their peers, (individuality). I will use high key lighting connoting a positive vibe as the band are starting their journey to stardom. The band members will be wearing casual but classy clothing, with each member having their own individual style, relating to U as a magazine focusing upon how every person differs from one another. Alongside the models there will be musical crates similar that of those used on musical tours. The members will be blocked on two levels, those placed lower down (closer to the viewer) are the show runners of the band, whereas the one blocked a the back are the backing vocalists/musicians. There will be 5/6 sub-images on the contents page. Two of which will advertise certain pages, encouraging the audience into viewing them, whilst one will be of a previous magazine and another of a t-shirt juxtaposed alongside the subscription box, showing the audience what's available to subscribes. There will also be an image similar to that of the cover photo, except with the artist in a different position, connoting the importance of the chosen artist within this issue. Alongside the page number 51 there will be Bastilles logo, enlarged upon a magnifying glass, representing U getting up close and personal with the members. The final image will be of a spotlight on a particular page number, highlighting its importance within this months issue, but not revealing any of its contents enticing the reader.

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD Shot- MCU Angle-Eye Line The main image used upon the double page spread will take up 60% of the page of A3, making it the focal point of the article, as there will only be one other image. It will an image of the male from the cover of the magazine, he will be wearing clothing consistent with his first appearance, so the audience will remember him from the cover and be encouraged to read. He will be looking down towards the text, to draw the audiences attention towards the article, dissuading them from moving on until they’ve read the article. Through use of a medium close up the audience are able to see the artist in more detail and therefore build more of a personal impression. There will be one sub-image alongside the article of a concert, without any people or the artist, it will just be a stage with various lighting effects. Upon the stage there will be a stand, without a microphone, with the lights centred upon it, signifying to the audience, once the artists are on the stage its just them and the music. Therefore it’ll stand out on the page, but is used to give an impression of what its like to be in up on stage in front of the spotlight.
