Media lesson: Model organisation, props, location.
MODEL ORGANISATION
I put a status on the social networking site called Facebook asking if anyone would be interested in
being models for my music magazine for the photography shoot and I got many replies which i
was pleased with. I decided on these four people to be my models as I believe they would suit the genre
of the magazine best. They all have a very similar appearance and fit in with the stereotype based
around the genre of the magazine. I e-mailed them asking if they would be available for the
photography shoot.

ORGANISATION OF PROPS, COSTUME AND LOCATION
This is my storyboard for the shots I will do when I conduct my photography shoot with the models above. I wanted a good variety of different shots to chose from
and for the double page spread and contents page.
Close-up Extreme close-up Long shot Two person shot
Grey beanie hats are typically associated with rock/metal genre of music. Many band members are pictured wearing
them and I think they work well as they also give a casual look.
Hoodies are associated with many different stereotypes however colourful hoodies are
mainly related with rock/hardcore genre which would implicate the genre and style of
the magazine. I also considered blue being the best colour as it would tie into my colour
scheme of blue, black. White, red and yellow
Vans have always been stereotypically associated with
rock/metal/hardcore genre of music. They are the most popular
shoes among the tribe “mosher” as well so I
believed these would be the best footwear for the shoot and would work well with the
outfit
Denim jackets are one of the items of clothing
which go right back to the roots of rock/metal
music as they were worn by original rock bands
and have carried through with the genre so I
thought it would be a highly appropriate piece of clothing for the shoot.
LOCATION PLANNINGI needed to plan my location for my shoot of images to use for my front cover, contents page
and double page spread.
I considered various locations such as a music room with props such as headphones, guitar, microphone
etc. and I also considered using a photography studio.
Possible props for photo shoot for double page spread
I decided to take my photos for my front cover in a photography studio as I believe this would create
the correct affect on the photo with strong lighting to highlight the models facial expression and body
language. I also chose this as magazines I researched into such as “Kerrang!” And
“Rocksound” both use photography studios for their front cover image as it looks professional and
has a simple background which can be manipulated easily and allows text to be read easy
and overall looks better on the front cover.

MAGAZINE NAME PLANNING
Brainstorm of possible
names
Omen
Break out
Hectic
Meltdown
Pressure
RecklessThunder
Vision
These are some names of possible magazine names I
brainstormed. I tried to think of names
which had a metal/rock feel to
reflect on the genre of the magazine.
I surveyed my class mates for their opinion on the names and which one’s they
preferred and would be best. The most said “Reckless” was the best, they said it
sounded like a rock/metal magazine name as the genre has a reputation of reckless behaviour. They also liked “Pressure” and
“Meltdown” they liked meltdown as it also had a metal/rock feel to it as the genre features many breakdowns in the songs
relating to the name.

KERRANG! MAGAZINE FLAT PLAN
MY MAGAZINE FLAT PLAN
REFLECTIONI started off by producing a calendar to plan when and what to do on different days to get
myself organised and so I was focussed on getting the work finished for the deadline. It also helped me plan to do in each lesson I had so I could use my time wisely. I then moved on to organising my models where I contacted four friends who I thought would be great for the
genre of the magazine through Facebook and e-mail. As soon as I knew they were available I went ahead to book the photography studio for my first shoot to make sure I could get a
good slot which all my models were available for. Once it was booked I started looking into the costume side of the shoot, I did this by looking through both Kerrang! And Rocksound magazines which gave me plenty of ideas of different items of clothing the models could
wear and which I could get a hold of easily. Luckily the models all had the clothing I had in mind as they all listen to the genre of music my magazine is – rock/metal/hardcore so they were perfect for the job and all had the right image to them. I did the same for my second
photography shoot – my model for that one also all had the correct clothing as well as body modification; stretchers and tattoos which is something heavily stereotyped with the genre
of music in modern times so he was a perfect model for my magazine. For both shoots I used my Pentax DSLR camera which I was very familiar and comftable with using so I was
confident when taking my images. Both shoots went very successfully which I was pleased with and I believe I had good strong images which would work well for my magazine. I then
moved on to looking at flat plans for Kerrang! and then produced my own after looking through many Kerrang! magazines giving me a good idea and influenced my idea of the
layout and structure of a music magazine with a similar genre.
