Research and Planning: Music videos of my genre.

Research And Planning: Example of Model's poses.

I have chosen all these different poses, as examples of what i would appreciate my model to do, I have chosen all females because my models are going to be female, due to me not being able to get any male models. My favorite two poses are the first two, this is because they seem to work the best and compliment my genre most, they have dark colours and gormless faces. Therefore, these are the poses which i will tell my model to do. I also want the background of them two pictures to be in my picture, it is simple and uses great lighting to create good effect, as does the mise en scene in the pictures.

Research and Planning: Shot types

Research and Planning: Double page spread progress.

 

Ive done this but to complete my double page spread, I need to get a large photo to put on the left hand side, and then a smaller photo to put below the album review. 

Research and Planning: Music Magazine double page spread.

Research and Planning: Music Magazine progression.

This is the beginning of the double page spread which features in my magazine.

Research and Planning: Make up & Hair ideas.

These are all good examples of the make up and hair which i will aim my model to have. Essentially i want, dark eyes similar to the 4th picture on this post, the hair I would want would be the scruffy quite curly hair parted down the middle. I want my model to have dark red lipstick, with dark red lip liner to clean up the lip look. I want the make up and hair to compliment and resemble the look of the model, if they clashed it wouldn't look good or professional.

Album review of OREN debut album surprisingly named OREN. 8/10
Excellently delivered music to the ears, the genre which they transcend better watch their backs. Fantastic vocals and emotive lyrics from the lead sing Sophie Cutts. Beginning the album with the opener descender was a brave move, yet perfectly executed despite the risky choice. Are risks like this necessary on a debut album? No, stay safe on your first shot. The vigorous vibe remains a consistency throughout, however your emotions and urges to party all night long are definitely played with. Downfall of the album? Track 7 (I would give it a miss if I was you). In the nation of doubters and haters in which we live, i urge you to get this album, that ought to shut you all up.

 This is the review which I plan to place at the bottom of my double page spread after I have interviewed the artist.

Research and Planning: Headshots

These head shot's in my opinion, are very clear and show detail of the background and foreground. I didn't use a flash on any of the pictures but it was quite high lighting in the room whilst i was taking the pictures. The first one is my favorite when it comes to the positioning of the frame, I like the shot type also. 

Research and Planning: Starting of my Magazine

This is the progress i have made so far in the production of my music magazine.

Research and Planning:Location Shots

 The location of this shot is in the studio, it shows the professional microphone which suggests to me that the location is in the studio. It would be interesting to use this location as it would imply that my model is a singer and not a DJ. It would cancel out any chance of confusion.

 The location of this picture looks like its in some kind of arena or a ballroom. Its quite the paradox image to the band as it isn't reflecting their image. They are mostly dressed in black and the background is using high key lighting .

The location of this image looks like a picnic in the park scenario. They are positioned well within the frame to show clearly the location used, for example the tree isn't blocked nor is the bench. This location would be interesting as it is different to what is expected and isn't too much and in your face.

The location for this picture is in the middle of a what seems to be a busy street. The shot would be interesting to use as it is right in the action, it looks like a member of the public has unexpectedly taken this. By using this location it creates a sense of realism and doesn't show them as a celebrity.

The location of this shot is in a barbers. This location shows the group as proper males due to using a barbers, using a female model (which i am) wouldn't work as a barbers isn't really a females usual surroundings and it may look quite stupid. However i think this location works well as it is very different yet very suiting to the band.
