Production Log - Location

In terms of location I wanted to base most of my images around the city centre of Liverpool due to its famous and well known reputation of music culture. I thought that this would be an appropriate decision because the idea was relevant  to the concept of a music magazine as well as the location being suited and seductive to my target demographic. Below are a few images/screen shots as to the locations of where some of my images where photographed.

Production Log - Mise En Scene

Costumes/Props:


T Shirts
Button shirt
Sun glasses
Hoodies

I decided to use these certain props and set of clothing in my in my images because after analysing certain music magazine front cover I know that these props are suited to the genre of my music magazine of indie rock. 

This image of Anthony Black ( main artist) is seen with the same props and costumes used stated at the top. The actor is appeared wearing sunglasses because I wanted to make my main artists stand out and look professional to the target audience. I took this inspiration from the NME front cover below. The main Artists of the band is wearing sunglasses which therefore reveals the connotations of him being a major and popular artist and so seems appealing to the demographic.

Music Magazine Images (Retaken)

After taking a certain number of image for my music magazine front page mock up, I knew that them images would not suit the criteria of my music magazine in regards to its context. The images taken where based in the same location, and use of the mise en sense for example props and costumes where limited and therefore did not suit the genre of my music magazine.

Below you can see the new and most recent taken images that will be placed on all pages of my music magazine front page, contents page and double page spread. These images are much improved compared to my mock up images as each and every image is taken in different locations. The use of the mise en scene is enhanced as there is a wider range of different props and costumed that match the criteria and genre of my music magazine.

Below are the image I have decided to use within my music magazine. Additionally I will manipulate the images using a range of ICT skills within Photoshop and InDesign in order to make my music magazine appealing to the demographic and give my magazine the professional look it deserves.

Photography Consent Form

As part of one of my risk assessments within my photography I have decided to construct my own consent form that clarifies the permission of people being used for my music magazine product. Below is the document I created, as well as one of the signed consent forms that allows me to use images of the fictional actors within my final product.

Hazards During Photo Shoot

Before my photo shoot I have decided to produce a risk assessment identifying the safety hazards as to what risks may occur during the photo shoot for my music magazine. Below are the hazards that I have decided to dictate and consider within my photo shoot in order to reduce or prevent the risk of any server injury to my fictional actors or any other people around the chosen area.

Risk Assessment

As part of my risk assessment for my Photography for my music magazine product, I have conducted some research as to what risk assessments should be applied within my photograph shoot. I have found some facts as to why risk assessments should be carried out within specific environments in order to avoid any form of harm or injury to people. Below are a few screenshots of a website I found stating health and safety advice for photographers.

I believe that researching these certain risk assessment issues are important within my production and construction process as I will take some of this advice into consideration when taking my images in order to decrease the chances of any harm or injury that may occur. Examples include ensuring that all equipment is safe to use and ensuring that the specific location of photography is set in a safe and secured area.

Production Log - Actors

I have decided to retake all my images for my music magazine. While taking my photographs, I have been told that I must organize my photographs using a production log to state specific aspects such as the Actors , the Mise en scene such as Props and Costumes and specific Locations that I will be using in my images for my final product . Below is the actors that are needed for my photographs in order to promote the fictional artists. I will soon state the other aspects needed in order for me to take successful photographs that is suited to my genre for my music magazine, as well as uploading Risk Assessment issues that need to be considered.
