potential front cover image

I like this image because there all really close together  and in away shows how close they are as a band.
The will be challenges using this image because i can imagine the background will be hard to crop.  

style of my models

• jeans ( most likely baggy) 
• leather jacket 
• denim  jacket 
• trainers 
• t shirts
• long messy hair

All of these items/ features create a good rock affect and will be appealing to my audience base.

my audience

im doing my music magazine as a hard rock, alternative rock metal magazine. It will be similar to kerrang so I will have the same target audience of 16-24. My magazine will be aimed towards men because the style of music. The sort of bands in the magazine will be similar to Metallica, black label society and black Sabbath (nation will be the band I’m taking pictures of)

i have the same target audience as the very popular magazine kerrang.

camera angle

Camera angle

I am going to try out a lot of different camera angles to see which one works best. I am doing this because different camera angles have different advantages and help create different effects.

• ·      Medium shot
• ·      Close up
• ·      Low angle
• ·      Eye level

I will probably try these ones out, I will be doing these because I prefer the effects these angles can make.
