Research and Planning: Risk Assessment

Research and Planning: Plan for the Week

The tasks that I will need to have completed by the end of this week are as follows:

• Start the production of my Magazine
• Produce at least one location recce and risk assessment
• Start writing your double page spread
• Extra Genre post

Research and Planning: Equipment and Software List

For the creation of my whole magazine I will need to use:
• A Professional Camera
• Tripod
• Photoshop
• inDesign
• iPhoto
• Illustrator
• Prezi
And most importantly: Blogger.

Research and Planning: Costume and Props List

In the creation of my magazine I will be needing many props and costumes. For the costumes, I will be using firstly, makeup. The makeup on my model(s) needs to be dark and mysterious much like many rock legends, if the makeup was pretty and pink then this would not fit my genre at all. The next thing I will need is a band t-shirt of some sort, for my woman model, however for my male models I will dress them in something different. For Daniel I really like the idea of a shirt and tie to make him look more quirky. Converse and skinny jeans are important I think, because they really tie together that rock look. For my props, I will be wanting to use some kind of guitar, acoustic or not, and I want a male model in my band to be holding this as I want the woman model to be the singer of the group.

Research and Planning: Bands Associated with my Rock Magazine

Research and Planning: My Audience

As an extra research post, I decided to do a quick sketch and what I think that my audience will be, or a conventional rock lover. Each different reader, of course, will be different but tying all the conventional aspects together this is what I came up with. Using a fineliner I made sure that there was messy hair, thick eye-liner, band t-shirts, skinny jeans, converse and dark lipstick. I chose to draw a woman for my audience piece as in my 'My Target Audience' prezi I stated that the audience I will be aiming for would in fact be leaning more towards women.

Research and Planning: Example of Band Associated with the Rock Genre

 All Time Low

All Time Low is an example of a band that I would associate with my Music Magazine. They are a four piece band that play music that is classed as 'Pop-Punk'. They do many gigs and shows, which I have been to, and I will be using some of the pictures that I have taken at their shows in my music magazine. They have 3 Albums and 1 EP out at the moment and are quickly coming one of the most loved rock bands there is out there, with their army of fans who call themselves 'Hustlers'.
