Photoshoot Images

Contents Page Feedback

Just like the Front Cover, I was given feedback for my magazine Contents Page. I was given feedback of: 

• Your overall layout is good with a good range of devices which will engage your audience.

However, just like the Front Cover, I was given the feedback of: 

• You could fill some more gaps and look to add more colour. Main colour too pink, maybe use blue or green.

Images I am going to use

I had a couple of gigs to go to when I was first designing my flat plans for the magazine covers and I decided to take my camera along to the gigs to take live images of bands/artists at a gig instead of just using all editorial/ studio shots of my main artist. This would make my magazine look more realistic, because you would get a diverse range of images in an actual magazine.

I did take these photos myself while I was at each gig, I took these photos in addition for my magazine progress and validity. I wasn't that far from the stage for both gigs and the camera I used was a Nikon Coolpix L330.

I also took the same camera to my friends halloween party so I could get some photos to make it look as if readers had sent their photos in for a reader 'special' issue of the magazine.

The photos I plan on using for my magazine:

Potential Problems

I have thought about some of the potential problems I could encounter when it comes to carrying out my photoshoot. The following potential problems are:

• My model not being able to do the shoot, because of illness or another event. 
• My main camera running out of battery or if it stops working.
• My back up camera doing the same as the main camera and it runs out of battery or if it stops working. 
• Bad quality lighting - due to natural light, the day I'm shooting might not be the best weather to shoot in natural light. 
• Bad quality images. 
• Not being able to get the shots I wanted to get on the day.

Hopefully, none of these things happen when I'm carrying out my photoshoot. However, if any of these problems happen throughout the day, I will have to resort to artificial lighting if needs be and I would have to make sure to charge both of my cameras so I could potentially shoot later on or on another day, setting me back just slightly and quickly needing to find another model if my original model can't be there on the day.

Consent Slip for Model

Before I even started to plan my photoshoot I had to make sure that the model I was thinking about was okay with me taking pictures of her and the proceeding to use them for my magazine Front Cover, Contents Page and Double Page Spread. To state that she was consenting to the use of her images and photos to be taken of her, I decided to create this consent slip that would then allow me to use images of her in my product.

I then got my model to sign and date the consent slip so that I could then use her images throughout my magazine as my main model with her consent.
