Risk ass

What: This front cover shop will be of my artist as a close up looking directly at the camera creating an engagement with the audience.

Where: This image will be taken in front of a white /natural background; this makes it easier to cut when it comes to editing for me to cut her out or to keep the background for my front cover.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props: My artist will have a neutral tone in her makeup, this is not to overpower the other colours on the front cover, she will however have a hint of colour on her eyes (seen in Q magazine) this is to make them stand out and not blend into the background too much as she is my key selling point to my target audience. She will be wearing casual clothes so that she can relate more to my target audience, she will be wearing clothes that are also smart (e.g. printed top underneath a jean jacket). For my front cover I will not be using any props as this is not a generic convention for ‘pop’ magazines as they usually have either a simplistic close up or long shot.

Colour & Lighting: The colour will be shown in her skin and through her makeup (eyes), the lighting will be bright thus making these features stand out.

Shooting Schedule, Misenscene and Locations

Shot One!

What: This back up shot will be of my artist but a long shot looking down the lens of a camera.

Where: This will again be taken against a natural background thus making it easier to cut out or to keep a smart already made background. This will be in the same place as shot 1 however the shot type will be different and changing up the look of the image.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props: Her hair, makeup, costume and props will stay the same as in shot 1 this is because I don’t want to change the mise en scene, just the look and style of the front cover as this will depend on the shot used.

Colour & Lighting: The lighting and colour will vary slightly than in shot 1, this is because if this is a long shot you will not be able to see her facial makeup very well thus not being able to see the eye makeup. This alters my use of colours slightly so to compensate I will use the lighting to promote features such as her hair and her clothes.

Shot Two!


Shot Three!

What:This shot will be of my artist, this will be a mid-shot style image.

Where: I will take this against a plain neutral background in order to make it easier to cut out when post production, this also will follow the theme of my ‘popular’ magazine.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props:My artist will be dressed smart and eye catching as she is going to be on the front of the magazine, her makeup will be pretty simple in comparison to the other shots I have planned. Her hair will be eye catching and will stand out similar to that seen in the Q magazine.

Colour & Lighting:The colour will be natural and come from the natural skin tones, the lighting will be of high contrast in order to be able to capture the skin tones.


Shot Four!

What: The main image is going to be of my artist. This will be a mid-shot high angle image.

Where: This will l take place against either a coloured or neutral toned background, this is to not take anything away from the actual contents page.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props:Her hair, make up and costume will again be simple, I may have her wear colour on her lips to make them stand out and her clothes will be casual but smart at the same time, this is because I don’t want my artist being too eccentric like Lady Gaga who is a pop artist and I don’t want her to be too revealing like Rihanna who is also a pop artist. I want my pop artist to wear the style of clothes as her target audience. I’m basing this image as the type of style of Jesse J or Emeli Sande because they both have a mass audience of various ages as they can relate to any age within reason.

Colour & Lighting: The lighting will be high contrast to pick up the finer details on my artist. The colour will come from her make up again as I want her face to stand out.


What: The shot again will be of my artist; this shot will be a mid shot of her from the side view.

Where: This will be against a coloured or neutral coloured wall as I feel that adding the back colour will add a creative effect to the image and would become more eye capturing.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props: Her clothes again will be casual style, nothing too ‘fancy’, her hair will be straight and her makeup will be subtle as I don’t want her makeup to stand out as in the other images, thus I’ll keep to a smoky subtle shade.

Colour & Lighting: The lighting will be natural as it will be an outside shot, thus this will give her a natural look that has not been tampered with. The colours will be natural as the lighting will produce the ‘glow’.

Shot Five!


What: The shot will be of my artist; this shot will be a mid shot of her from the side view/angled to the side.

Where: This shot will take place in the ‘streets’ so at a park and on the roads ect. This is to show her in a ‘normal’ place will relate more to my audience as it’s a place that they are too.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props: Her clothes will be casual along with her makeup, to show the audience she is down to each like them and that they can relate to her.

Colour & Lighting: The ;lighting will be natural because I will take these during the day, if they turn out too dark I will edit them using Photoshop, however this image should look natural and not need editing.

Shot Six!


What: I will use close up shot of my artist similar to that that I will use on my front cover and that of my contents page.

Where:This shot will be in front of a white background thus making a simplistic background to the double page spread.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props: My artists will have no props, but her makeup will be eye capturing but subtle at the same time. You would not be able to see the clothes in shot as it is a close up and the clothes will be out of the shot. Her hair will be natural as I don’t want it to take away from the image as well.

Colour & Lighting: The lighting will be of high contrast to show the features of my artist, I may use colour in her makeup (eyes and lips).

Shot Seven!


What: This shot will be a side shot of my artist looking over her shoulder down the lens of the camera; this will again be a close up, with her making eye contact with the audience.

Where:This will be on a plain background as this is normally the style of a pop artist as it then makes the artist concentrate on the artist rather than the background.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props:Her hair, makeup and costume will be simple, for example, a simple coloured top and natural makeup tones so that the image looks subtle and captures the emotion in her face, this is to capture and engage the reader using feelings.

Colour & Lighting:The lighting will be of high contrast to pick out the skin tones and subtleness within the image, otherwise I feel that I will loose the emotion captured within.

Shot Eight!


What: This will be a mid-shot of my artist as if she is on stage, I will edit this one to be black and white or add a colour overlay in order to make it look different to the main image on the double page spread.

Where: This will be on a stage and will be a performance style image.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props:Her hair and makeup will be simple and casual in this image as it will be hard to pick out the finer details in her appearance due to the contrast in lighting and colour.

Colour & Lighting;This image will be a dark contrast image to create a vibe for the audience to make them feel like they are there with her during her performance. I will add a colour overlay to the image to create some depth to it and to make it look different to the main image.

Shot Nine!


What:This will be of her on a stage with a mic, as this is what my feedback suggested in order for it to look authentic. This shot will be a low angle longshot/midshot to give the effect she is performing on a stage to an audience.

Where: This will be on a real stage or on a dark background with a light shining behind her to give the effect that she is on a stage.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props:Her costume and makeup will stand out ore in this shot as it is a stage shot and most pop artists tend to put on a big performance to stand out. Her props will include a microphone as this is also what my questionnaire suggested. Her hair will be curly in order to be bold and eye catching.

Colour & Lighting:The lighting will be from a light from behind her, I will create this by shining a lamp behind her so when I take the picture it will look like there is a spot light behind her thus creating an illusion. The colours will be added after the image are taken, I will add a colour overlay to create a ‘vibe’.

Shot Ten!


What:This will be of my artist blowing glitter at the lens of the camera, this will be a mid shot.

Where: This will be against a neutral background due to the fact I will use coloured glitter to ‘pop’ it up a bit, thus by using the white background the glitter will stand out from everything else.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props:I will have my artist have natural style of makeup, her hair again will also be simple because I don’t want to take away from the glitter effect. The only props I’ll use is the glitter.

Colour & Lighting: The lighting will have to be high contrast in order to let the glitter capture the light or the glitter will not glisten in the image. Colour will be used in the glitter so I will not add no extra.

Shot Eleven!


What:This is my artist in an interview style pose, as they will be sat down this will be a mid-shot.

Where: This image will be in a normal environment such as a café where my artist will act like they are in an interview, it will be casual however.

Hair, Make up, Costume & Props:I don’t think ill use any props for this image as I feel that it might take away from the actual image itself. She will be in normal clothing, nothing fancy, so the mood would be relaxed and she would look casual.

Colour & Lighting:The lighting will be whatever the lighting is in the café, if the lighting isn't working with the image I will edit it using Photoshop in order to create the image I want.

Shot Twelve!
