Planning images

On the front cover, I want something really bold that stands out. To challenge the conventions of a magazine of this genre I will experiment using a range of shots including close ups and midshots, using mis en scene to establish a style. I will use a female model to challenge the conventions as they are less commonly seen, and she will be wearing alot of abstract make up. Her hair will be styled and her clothes will be appropriate. She will be in an outside rural scene, so the styled look contrasts with the natural background. Maybe she will have a flower in her hair, and other such props that help to frame the shot. I want it to be bold and eye catching so that the reader is drawn in from a glance at the cover.

The other images will be more recognisable as band related. Props such guitars/keyboads/microphones may be used to help establish this, but still following the eery style. I will use a couple more models to play 'band members' or other artists. Generally the band shots will be longs shots, but I will use a variety of different shots throughout the magazine.
