Planning My Photoshoot

When taking my photos for my magazine I need to consider the image which the photo portrays and if it relates to my original idea. I will be considering factors of Mise en scene.

Position in the Frame: For the front cover the focus of the page will be my model therefore it will be a mid-close up shot. As I would like my model to show emotion and appeal to readers. The background is likely to be a plain colour to bring the attention to my model. The photograph used on my double page spread will be focused on my model and features of the background so a balance with the position of the model and the influence of the background will be important. 

Lighting: A majority of the lighting used will be unnatural. I would like to use overhead lighting on my model to create a soft, glowing and glamorous effect. Lighting will be soft to reduce the effect of shadows in the image.

Wardrobe: Baseline magazines targets a majority of mainstream music therefore my model will be wearing make-up and hair will be big and well presented. My model's clothing will be fashionable and colourful. If I choose to use props I am likely to include a guitar or microphone.

Setting: I am likely to use several locations for my photoshoot. The photograph used on my cover will be taken inside against a plain wall. For my double page spread the photographs will be taken outside, hopefully I will be able to take advantage of the good weather and make use of natural lighting.
