Photoshoot Plan

For my photoshoot I'm using my mum as the star, she's familar with the genre and is willing to do it. I'm going to break most of the conventions of the classical music magazine and make the audience believe that the genre isnt only for what is expected. Instead of the high class image  the star will be dressed more middle class. She will be wearing, black jeans and a light coloured vest top with some plain trainers. I'm not using any bright coloured clothes as I dont want the background to clash with the image. Most classical music magazines use bland and neutral colours as the magazines are more unique and higher quality, I will use neutral colours around the artist and edit the background to make it more bright and intriging.  I will always try and use a middle/long shot so you can see the whole appearance of the star. The backgrounds I think of using is the humber bridge,woods and down a small alley. These places are much more urban then the traditional castles and old buildings you see when looking through a traditional classical magazine. Also all these places are very easy to get too so I can access them at different times of the day to get the best photo I want.

I'm going to follow the convention of the artist holding a instrument in the image. The star will be holding a violin, this will be an effective part of the magazine as the artist alone might not give a clear idea of what the genre is as its so different to what you expect. I will also follow the code of quite neutral make up but I'm going to  use a highlight of bright colours around the face  eg. eyeshadow and lipstick. The colours I use for this will have synergy around all my other pages. The bright colours I use will make it more appealing for the younger audience I want to target and her hair will be natural and not be styled to follow the middle class and urban appearance.

I'm planning to take a picture of the Humber Brige in the dark with the star holding the violin in a silhoutte form to go across my double-page spread. As the background the will be black and greys I will be able too use gold writing which is a code for classical music magazines. All the other images i take in the different areas, I will experiment with different shots and angles to make the most effective image for my magazine.
