Photoshoot Planning - Storyboard

Photo shoot 1 idea: Studio/Blank backdrop

One of our ideas for our shoots is to have our models stand in front of a plain white backdrop as this could replicate a studio for the front cover. I found these images for inspiration as they fit the idea of our shoot. We want to capture the models having fun and being themselves as this shows they are in a band and have chemistry. The outfits they are wearing also fit the image of our magazine, they are wearing stylish and dark clothing with leather jackets and styled hair. We will aim to recreate these for our magazine as these are the type of images we want on our front cover. The lighting we would use for this shoot we could range from natural , as we are taking photos in a conservatory, however artificial lighting would work better. We would also use the flash on the camera which will help the artificial lighting. The types of shots we will be planning to capture would be wide shots, we would also be conscious of rule of thirds as there is three models for this shoot. However in some shots we will be planning on using two models. We will be aware of the composition as we want a good amount of space in the shot. We will take photos that are zoomed away from the models as we want them to take up most of the shots.

Photo shoot 2 idea: Outside/Alleyway/Graffiti

 Another idea for our magazine would be to do an outside photo shoot, we liked the idea of alleyways and graffiti as it fits the image of our magazine. This shoot would give a grunge and indie vibe to the magazine compared to the studio shoot. This will also help us have a variety of shoots/images in our magazine. We would also think about using male models in this shoot as it would help appeal to more male audience as well as female. For these shoots, there will be limitations due to natural lighting therefore we will have to go out when the lighting is bright. Otherwise we will need to rely on artificial lighting and the flash of the camera. The type of shots we will be using for the outdoor photo shoot will be wide shots, and some close up shots. We will be using deep focus on the main models and the surroundings. For the close up shots we will be mainly focused on the band members. These type of images will fit our magazines as they would appeal to our audience.
