Shot List

I have created a list specifying what shots I will need for all parts of my magazine.

Front Cover
I am planning on having just one main image on my front cover as I am hoping for my magazine to be sophisticated yet laid back take on NME. Therefore I am going to need a shot of an artist or group on a plain background.

Contents
I am hoping to create a girl group to feature in my contents; I already have the ideal people in mind for this. Although I have not yet decided if the photo will be set in an exterior location or on a photo shoot set. I will have other pictures on my contents page, approximately 3 or 4. One of them possibly being a Leeds and Reading festival logo.

Double Page Article
I am going to create an article for my double page spread and for this I will need a large posing picture of the band/artist I am interviewing. I will also need a few other smaller random pictures to dot around the page.

Arranging Photo Shoots

As I will need a selection of photos to choose from for my magazine I have started arranging photo shoots. I recently sent out an email to a group of girls asking if they would mind creating a girl group image for my magazine. I have copied the email below.
Hii guys,
I am creating a music magazine for my media work and putting together a bundle of pictures that could potentially be used for my magazine. I have selected you guys as i though you would look like a girl group if you all got dressed up and did your hair. If you are all willing please let me know and we can arrange a time and place.
Thanks, Meg x


I am still trying to upload the "Fonts & Colours" powerpoint but due to problems uploading i have not been able to. I will keep trying to upload the powerpoint.

Progress

As I have now completed one of my research tasks on other music magazines I need to find out what the public want. I have chosen to do this by creating a specific questionnaire for members of the public. This questionnaire will enable me to find out what music magazine genre the public think is missing, what price they would be willing to pay for a magazine, what age groups prefer a certain genre and much more useful information which will help me create the perfect music magazine.
