For my first edition of my first newspaper, i plan to use a boy (guy) and then for my second edition i shall use a girl (Ella) in order of ensuring that i am using two different genders to show that i have explored different ways to fit into the demographics of the set text. When taking my images i will ensure as well that they are both shot in different places featuring different backgrounds in specific to my vision.
In the first edition shot somewhere outside featuring the boy (top body shot) holding a microphone. This will be where i compare and label him as well known Rn B artist Bryson tiller which may attract those who are interested and familiarize themselves with his music. this is a positive as when publishing my first edition of my newspaper, people will know who he is which may influence of their purchase. When i take this photo, i specifically have chosen his costume being him wearing some form of jacket, preferably denim, as well as accessories including sunglasses or a hat/cap to really fit the genre of a music which i am specifically trying to get across to the consumers. In terms of how i want him to be postured and standing, i will ensure that he is looking directly at the camera creating that direct gaze to make that connection to the consumers. As well as planning this for my main image on the front cover, i also plan to add in smaller photos within my contents page featuring where i have been to recent festivals and concerts linking it with content plugs of giving the consumers the chance to win tickets to their next concerts, also pushing and influencing them on their purchase. An idea of one of the images i shall use on this edition of the contents page is an actual image of Bryson in concert where i shall also use the color pallet in connection with that image too.
Secondly, for the second edition of my music magazine, it shall feature the girl (Ella) who is taking the role of the well known DJ Hannah Laing who mostly fits the genre of house music. In the image she will have headphones on with her hands on her ears emphasizing that she is deep in the world of music. In this image, it shall be shot from a low angle with a white background with the focus being on Ella. As well as this, i have also planned Ella's costume/clothing in order for her to fit in with the stereotype of what people who listen to house music may wear in order to familiarize the consumers and make connections to what genres are being communicated through the image. She shall be wearing a white top with red shorts with white boots. I have specifically chosen for her to be in red shorts as they are bold and shall stand out meaning i can match using a color pallet on my front cover making my masthead red too. In terms of deciding how i want Ella to be stood, i want her to be facing sideways holding her headphones to show that she is 'lost in the music' and highly interested in the music she is listening to. In order with linking this closely as well with my contents page, i shall use the same color pallet throughout ensuring that my headline and subheadings remain the same color throughout and ensuring that the color is bold and stands out to everyone who views it.
