The photos in this blog, I have taken to use in my REEL2REAL music magazine. I took a range of pictures trying out different angles and shots such as close ups portrait and side profile. 

I decided to do my photo shoot and take a range of pictures so I could then have a verity to choose from to what fits best for the different elements of my magazine.

                                                      Production schedule

My phot shoot will take place on Saturday the 17th of January 1015. The shoot is scheduled from 2pm. The photo-shoot will take place at my house, using a plain white wall for the background as this will help prevent any problems too difficult to resolve when editing the pictures decided to use for my magazine, it also prevents having any problems with weather or lighting if I  to have to take the pictures again for any reason. I’ve decided to do my photo shoot for 2pm as it will still be bright at this time of day. On the day I will be using a Sony Alpha Series’ (Sony DSLR A350)

Analysis of Vibe magazine contents page

This vibes magazine contents page dominated by an image (dominating image layout), this is where the text is incorporated with/ around one main. This contents page uses sans serif and serif fonts the main title of ‘contents’ is in sans serif and looks modern and edgy like the type of music this magazine covers. However the main subheadings is in serif it looks quite feminine, which shows this issue is mainly aimed at females.

 

The one large image on Vibe magazines contents page is a long shot of well-known music artist “Ciara”, the image and text shown aren’t colourful like most contents pages, it is uncluttered and has clear bold black and white colour scheme. The heading of ‘contents’ separates itself from the text shown to indicate page numbers of different articles inside the magazine. This sets a representation to a specific target audience as the target audience being young teenagers and young adults the image is aimed to just getting to the point and so the readers know straight away what they are going to read about.

The colours of this magazine gives an unique impression and sets the mood of the magazine to the target audience of the type of music genre for the magazine, you can see from the contents page’s colours that this magazine appeals and attracts a target audience of young teenagers and young adults who are interested and
listen to urban/dance/pop music.

This magazine uses language to address its target audience it uses sharp and snappy sentences on the contents page which will attract the target audience.
