Photo shoot organisation

For my photoshoot I will need at least 6 photographs 3 will be used for the front cover and others for the contents page.

• Front cover:

-Props: Xbox 360 controller, headset this is because the magazine is about entertainment and technology etc. that may interest teenagers.
-Settings: Indoors, well lit area
-Shot type: Mid/long shots will be used with a high and low angle so that the subject and there actions can be seen clearly.  

• Contents:

-These will focus more on the props that are relevant and close ups will be used to show these.

These are my content page designs, please vote.

The Background is white and rather plain but this allows the focus of the page to be the text and images, this makes it clear what the magazine is about. Also the simple body and title text style makes it easy clear and easy ride. 


The Images on this page are a good size and are either promotional like posters or stills from a film etc. Also there is enough text and images without being overcrowded . The layout is nice an simple as well set neatly in three columns also helps the reader decide which way they should read the text.


I think this page works well as a contents page as it is simple and informative.

Textual analysis: Magazines

From the front cover of this magazine it is obvious that the niche audience is teenagers this is because it has an image of the hit TV comedy The Inbetweeners also this  is obvious from the title 'First Car' as most teenagers at college are at this stage currently; even if the readers aren't interested in cars they may still look at the magazine for the interview with these popular actors.

The colour scheme of this magazine is limited to three contrasting colours yellow,black and white, this makes the magazine stand out as it grabs the viewers attention.

The large clear font has been appropriately used to display the content of the magazine and will help the readers of it  to remember the title, in case they want to read it again.
