Planning my Final Photo Shoot

For my photo shoot I am going to need all three members of the band: Max lamb and Matt Pruce and David Weston.
The three of them must also have their instruments; drums, electric guitar and acoustic guitar.
They must have two different sets of clothes (smart and smart-casual).
I need a high quality camera which can be edited to be black and white.
We need an open space preferably in some kind of hall or back room to fit the drum set.
Their hair needs to be messy to give a sense of rock.
I am going to do two different photo shoots with the band as they will have a practise leading to a talent contest then ill be doing a shoot while they are playing.
Also I may take some casual photos of their every day lives.

Prior to the shoot:
I need to make sure that my camera im going to use is fully charged.
I need to arrange a time and date to do the shoot (already arranged).
Charge a spare camera.
Prepare the models.
Get change of clothes ready.

Mock-Up Magazine

Masthead- "Dark Rock" The masculinity of the colours reflects with the target audience. The survey showed that the favourite colours where black and blue. The masthead will be the first thing they customers will see so the contrasting colour (yellow) highlights the magazine from others.
Cover model- I used greenday as the band i'm going to focus on also has three members. Also, my target audience say that their favourite type of music is "rock"
Cover line- These convey what is in the magazine. the main band is greenday therefore ive made the cover lines are green. this green makes us feel humble and represents money.
Tagline- The font looks mysterious with the outer glow again contrasting with the black background
Colours- The target audience is for men therefore I picked masculine powerful colours. These colours want men to own them and entices them to buy the magazine.
Pug- one of the questions I asked was "what do you look for in a magazine" a response was free stuff like posters and CDs therefore I want to give this to them.

feedback from peers-
The font is not very "masculine" and "hard" enough to show its a rock magazine.
Get my own photo of a band
More ideas to put in the magazine
Change the colours to more manly colours e.g red
Change the background to my own photo.






Analysis of my Survey


I gave out my survey to 10 different people of my target audience. I calculated the average response of the public and put into one survey as show:
 
I will base my magazine on this response and therefore it should be effective.

Hi my name is Joe I am a 20 year old male from South London. I am fairly chill but I love a party. I am a student at university, but in my spare time I love to read music. I read to get away from the stress and reality of life. Another way I spend my time is chilling to light rock with my surround sound speakers, occasionally having parties or taking my mates or co-workers to gigs/concerts. A typical Friday night for me is reading with the latest film with the wife.

Aside from music I enjoy playing games on my new Xbox one with the lads, my favourite game is guitar hero. Also it is a necessary to have the newest model of iPhone, on which I plug headphones into and relax. Annually I spend about £380 on music alone! I must also download Spotify where I download all the muse playlists and albums. I follow the work of the labour party and every election I vote them.

On a typical night out I would wear the casual jeans and shirt to balance out the casual and smart. But my clothes may change on the activity being done.
