MY SUPPORT BAND'S IDENTITY

For my magazine i will also need to create some supporting bands and artists that will appear as cover lines on my front cover and will be main features in the contents page.

• I have decided to create one supporting band and one supporting artist
• The first is a band called 'Renegade' and i called them this because i think it complies with their rock genre because it sounds serious and potentially dangerous.
• Their image is one of a typical rock band - they are serious but also professional - they are not cocky or 'full of themselves' like my main band because they are older, more experienced and more mature.
• It will consist of two males, two of my friends who i have invited to my photo shoot to pose as this band, and i will take multiple images of them whilst they pose as though they are at a concert or festival
• to do this a fake microphone as a prop will be used, there wont be any direct mode of address (because they're at a concert performing live) and the lighting wont be that bright to give it a more natural feel.
• I decided to do this because its a common convention in music magazines especially my influence magazine NME, that at least one of the featured bands are featured because of their concert or tour and therefore the image used for them will be one taken live at their concert
• This also means that the cover line used and anchorage text about them on the front cover and contents page will be directly linked to the concert because that is why they're featured.
• The two members of this band will be aged 30-35 because this is the typical age of bands of the rock genre and i want this band to be a typical rock band because they are featured so often in mainstream magazines like NME which im using as my influence
• Like my main band, 'The Desperados' they originate from the UK however they have recently hit their prime and have just finished touring in the USA, so the concert that is being focused on would have taken place in America - these are the main reasons why my magazine 'Ignite' would want to feature this band - because they are a well known band and have just entered the international stage which is a big event for a rock band and therefore its something a mainstream magazine like NME would want to feature
