Location Planning:

Camera Shots To Use:Close-Up: this shot will be used to show and also enquire the main character of the magazine and also show greater detail. With a close-up, you can show greater emotions/ NVC in which the character may hold, especially in response to the article in which will be used for the front cover and mainly the double-page spread. With the example shown on the left, here appears to be intrigued but also looks quite happy: there is quite a small smirk. This helps to show the character at that moment in time.

Mid-Shot: this shot will be used to show detail of the character due to the costume being worn (especially as it is very iconic and masculine, helping to link in with the style in which is being set and projected for the chosen target audience being adults). The shot will be used to identify the posture of the character, possibly showing his confidence and status in society, but mainly in the world of music and the magazine. In the example shown on the left, he looks quite silent/sad, possibly due to a bad scenario and outcome: I intend to make the scenario seem ‘Great’.

Close-Up/Side Shot: this shot will be used to show (quite literally) a ‘SIDE’ of the character, whether it being a ‘good side’ or a ‘bad side’. The character will be happy and smiling, therefore showing that he is a ‘good person’ and on the ‘good side’ of life; possibly his music makes you feel as good as he does when he is getting the photo taken of himself. In the example shown on the left, the character is looking at something, and you can clearly see his point of direction. This helps to show a ‘guidance’ and ‘direction’ of aspiration in which the character possibly aims at, especially with his unique and different identity (from Walter White to Heisenberg etc.). maybe I could incorporate this shot into my magazine double-page spread to help show that my character is aiming to be a great singer, and also to show/present him as a ‘great person’.

Close-Up (With Background): this shot will be used to show both the main character and their NVC, but also the possible background. The background can be very symbolic due to it possibly expressing the character and maybe the overall personality. It is designed in such a way to show that there may be two sides to the character due to there (quite literally) being more than you think (due to the larger & included background landscape). From the example given on the left, you can see the background as being a desert, and this helps to show loneliness and isolation, and possibly hinting that the character is on his own against the world, and in this case, on his own against his own family. I can incorporate this camera angle in a POSITIVE way to show that there is more to the character and his music than everybody thinks, and also, that he is a great person to be around with. It is a positive camera angle to use.

Examples Given

from the Outstanding:

There won’t be any specific locations. The background of the image/s to be

taken will be pure white and plain. The colours will stand out at the

front, and furthermore, it will help to link in with the old fashioned/style colour and overall visionary look of

the finished magazine.

Photo-Shoot PlanThe Plan will be to take the photos in one session if possible. Predominantly, the majority of the time will be taken up from trying to find an appropriate setting and also the right equipment, including the ‘Lighting’ and possible advantageous equipment such as natural resources including ‘Trees’ and also the ‘Sun’. The plan is to try and take (on average) around 20 images overall to choose from (to help make sure that the appropriate image is selected). Overall, photography should take a MAXIMUM of 2 hours, unless something happens to the images in the long run. This should be done within Hour 1, and Hour 2 of the overall time availability over the 8 weeks of creating the overall magazine pages and campaign.
