music magazine: logistical arrangements

over half term i plan on taking the photographs that i need for the coursework. the equipment needed for this is stated below:
*DSLR Camera
*Tripod
*photography studio

props needed:
*guitar
*models

all the equipment above i have readily available to me other than the studio, so in order to take the photos i need to arrange a time both the studio and models are available. to do this i have got a list of when the studio is free and im going to get the models to say when they can make it, and if needs be i will take the shoots over a number of different times.


i have recently completed the photoshoots that i have said that i wanted to complete above. so far i think that they have all gone well, however they did take longer than i anticipated and there was one shoot that didnt quite go to plan, and the final image is not how i wanted it, this was the shoot for the cover so i need to go out and re-do it. i think this time i will use different lighting within the studios as the images were to dark, hence the re-shoot.apart from this i think i have got a few good images that i will be able to use within the spreads.

music magazine: shot list

there are a number of shots that i would like to get for this project, i want to take a few different shoots so that i am not stuck using the same images over and over.

for the front cover i would like to take a medium close-up of one of my friends holding a guitar. this is to create the idea of the model being the frontman from a famous band. this idea i have taken from the total guitar cover.
the shot itself i will take in the studio at college givung the photograph a plain background, and i will then be able to take the image and edit it in a number of diferent ways to achieve the look i want, and by keeping the background plain the image wont look to over crouded on the cover.

for the contents i plan on using a simmilar image to the one from the cover, this way i can link the contents to the cover. i will also use a number of other images, a selection of these i am going to take of people playing instruments in the streets (buskers) so i can link this to an article. i am also going to take some more of friends in the studio and make them look like a band photoshoot. these images will also link in with my centre spread article and be the main images for that helping all three pages to link in.
