Photo Shoot - Planning Sheet

I think my house style should look sleek and chic, busy but not cluttered and eye-catching. It should create the impression of being a magazine aimed at people interested in pop/ hip-hop music like Nicki Minaj. Here is a table to show how i will use lighting and different techniques throughout my shoot.

What to photograph	What techniques to use	How I achieve
Cover photo	The image of the model or band will need to be the main focus of the photograph. The lighting will need to draw attention to the image. The image needs to be bold and catch the audience’s attention from a distance. The photograph needs to represent the magazine genre.	Have lighting which brings out the features of the model in the photograph. Photograph against a white or light coloured background so that the model stands out. Dress the model in clothes which are suitable to the music genre of the magazine.
Contents page image	This image could take up the whole page, but leave white space around it in order to put the contents of the magazine there. This image like the previous image needs to stay with in the house style of the whole magazine and follow the same consistent flow of the rest of it.	Photograph something powerful which will catch the audience’s attention as soon they open the page. The image could be of one model who reflects the genre of the magazine, but smaller images around it to make the magazine appear more interesting as it has more than one feature. Have the camera angle so that the model has a direct mode of address.
Double page spread image	This photo needs to be large in size, and could be either an extreme close up which would immediately grab the reader’s attention, or it could be a long shot. The lighting needs needs to accentuate the model’s features.	The model should have a direct mode of address. The lighting should accentuate the models features.
