Location / Props / Costumes

As the music magazine I will be creating is a techno music magazine I will be needing to take the photos in some sort of club or recording studio, this is because of all of the equipment in the area that I can use as props e.g. mixing boards, headphones and speakers. These will help add depth to the photos in the magazine. If I were to use a recording studio I would need to get permission to use it, this may involve contacting the owner and asking permission to use the area for a day the same would be for a club. On location it may be a good idea to get some lighting set up to make sure that the model is well light for when it comes to editing the photos, if I were to have low key lighting it may reduce the quality of the photo when it comes to adding it the magazine.

As for the costume the model will need to be wearing hoodies, caps and headphones. This is the sort of equipment that a DJ would wear, if I were to use someone else not wearing that sort of clothing the photos would look out of place and the target audience would not be able to relate to the character.

It’s important to remember that when taking the photos I need to get the model using some of the equipment this could be headphones, mixing board and computers, by doing this it will allow the target audience to see what the music writer is up to and what he/she does in their own time when writing music.

Here is a list of props that I may need when doing the photo shoot,

• Headphones
• Mixing board
• Speakers
• Turntable
• Computers
• Monitors
• Disco lights

Here is a list composed of clothing that the model may need to wear,

• Hoodie
• Shirt
• Cap
• Hi-tops
• Dark clothing/colour clothing
