Early organisation for photo-shoot

For my music magazine I will have to use images of my created band for the front cover, contents page and the double page spread article.

• I will group with two or three friends and they will act as my made up indie rock band, or I myself could join them and add one additional member to the band, but I don't think ill do this because there needs to be a cameraman and I have an idea of what shot types and angles that I want for the band's images.

• The photo shoot could take place in the school drama studio, or at my house, however I think it should take place in the drama studio because there are various lighting options and there wont be any unwanted objects in the background.

• It will take place after school or during school as this is most convenient for everyone and it should happen after half term, so about early December 

• Very few props will be used because only a limited amount of props are used in music magazines images. The only props that I think would be necessary and effective would be something like dark sunglasses, because they help conceal the band/ artist and create a cool rebellious and intimidating image. This is a feature used effectively by famous indie rock bands like 'The Arctic Monkeys' which is another reason why I would want to include this prop because it enhances the image and the attitude of the band.

• The costumes will be fairly plain, nothing over the top, jeans and coats or maybe jackets which will all be fairly dull colors, like black or grey because these connote a serious attitude. This is a common convention of the images of most indie rock bands who wish to create a serious image.

• Finally I will, like most other music bands, use blocking to effect. I will use it to make the lead singer of the band distinct from the other members by having him positioned in the foreground standing in front of the other members who will be in the background.
