My magazine will consist of a few images of people that will
require a lot of thought in to what effect they give off when people look at
them. Keeping this in mind I wanted to make my images fairly simple but still have
them link to stories in the magazine. I
will be using a mostly close-up shots and longs shots of people in my magazine
and the person I will be using as my model for these pictures is George Pierce,
a fellow media student, as he has the type of look I need for my magazine which
is things like a leather coat and can look very intimidating when he wants to
be and this is the closest I can get to what I want for my images.. There will
be no backgrounds to my images after they have been edited so I want to make it
as easy as possible by putting my model on a dark background to make it easier
to remove the background. I will be using images without background because I
want to use the images as a reference or a guide to a page in the magazine and
I don’t want them to distract people from the many stories so if I make them
simple they will still catch people’s eyes but they won’t keep people occupied
for long.
I want my model to be dressed in a very particular way so
that it suits the type of people that my magazine is aimed at. Since they are
the people that listen to rock they are Stereotyped in a very particular way; wear lots of leather and have a lot of
piercings and tattoos and they always look intimidating, I will use this stereotype
while doing the photo-shoot because if the magazine has these types of images
on it then it is more likely to attract and appeal to an audience of this
stereotype.
The lighting that I will be using on my imagery will want to
again follow the stereotype of the target audience and since they stereotyped
as preferring darker colours to lighter colours I will use predominately dark
colours on photo-shoot.
This is the magazine that inspired me to do my
magazine photo shoot in a particular way and as I would like my magazine to
have a front cover picture similar to this one but following rock stereotypes
and conventions such as dark clothing and lots of leather clothing and also
being very intimidating more closely . When
I looked at this magazine it gave me so many ideas for what my magazine would
be like and that is why my ideas will be quite similar to this design of
magazine.
