Models Planning

We contacted our models through email, we decided to contact them this way as it is professional. We kept the email sophisticated as this would be best way to present our company/magazine. We also added the name of our magazine at the bottom of the email to make sure they knew who was contacting them. We gave them details about the photoshoot. 

The models we are using for our magazine names: 

Ellie Scobell- From Reading, Age 16, Female, Height 5’8, Dark Brown hair, Hazel eyes. 

Sheena Austin- From Reading, Age 16, Female, Height 5’10, Blonde hair, Green eyes.

Eleanor Ward- From Reading, Age 16, Female, Height 5’7, Blonde/Brown hair, Blue eyes. 

We chose these models for our magazine as they are young and would fit the image of our indie rock genre. Our research and surveys showed that our respondents were mainly female. Having a female band as a representative for our magazine will help us stand out from other magazines. Having young people on our front cover would appeal to younger generations more as our research showed mainly young people make up the audience of the indie rock genre. The models are relatable and fit the look of our magazine. We asked them to dress in casual clothing, we had them wear over-sized shirts including a checkered shirt. We wanted them to be dressed in loose clothing and wear sunglasses leisurely. We used the sunglasses as a prop as it added another element to the shoot and gave the models a ‘rockstar’ sort of look. The shoot we decided to have the models be comfortable and be themselves as it created a nice spontaneous fun shoot.  Both males and females would be attracted to the front cover, it would also attract the majority of the audience which is the younger generation, this is why they are suitable for our magazine.
