Front Cover Shots
This shot would be perfect for a front cover shot. This is because the model is looking directly at the camera giving a connection with the audience. The fact that there is a tree behind her gives off the meaning that she is going back to her roots of where she used to belong showing purity. The fact that she has a guitar in her hands also shows that she is a musician and she is taking part in the magazine to talk about her music.
This should would be a mid shot. It would be perfect for the front cover image as once again the model is looking directly at the audience, showing a connection. The fact she holds a guitar is once again showing this is a music magazine and she is talking about her music. The fact that there is fields around her gives a sense of her letting go and being free, possibly giving the audience the feeling that she is letting going and going to tell them secrets that haven't heard of before, making them feel closer to there star.
This picture would be a long shot. This would be ideal for the front cover image as a zoom in on the head could convey the pun of head in the clouds that may people think singers adapt. She is also looking at the camera and her personality shows though. As my magazine is for teenage girls they like to have fun pictures of there role models having fun as it makes them feel more connected to them so by having this as a main image it would bring them in.
Contents Page Shots
This would be a good shot for a contents page as the model is still looking directly at the audience keeping them curious about the article. The fact that she is once again standing in front of a tree adds curiosity to the story as to why is the singer in the middle of a field. The fact that the shot is on eye level suggests to the audience that they are equal with the singer forming a friendship between singer and reader.
This would be a perfect picture for the contents page as the singer is doing the peace sign which relates her to the audience as young females (my target audience) are usually copying the role models of singers who make poses us like the peace sign. It could also convey the message of peace between reader and audience. The fact that she has a hedge behind her shows that the picture could of been taking anyway and that the singer is in fact like everybody else making a connection form between reader and singer.
This would be a perfect picture for my contents page as the model is not actually looking at the camera. This makes the audience curious as to why she is looking the other way although it is unconventional to have the model look away from the camera it words well as it makes her look like she is dreaming showing she is following her dreams like anyone of the readers could. The fact that the camera would be angled to look up at her makes the audience believe she is a good role model to look up to making the audience inspire to be like her.
Double Page Spread Shots
This would be a good picture for the double page spread as it is a long shot meaning that the background is also shown helping the audience create a sense of where the singer is. It also shows them what she does for a living as it looks like she is creating a piece of music making the audience feel as if they are getting a secret look into what the singer feels/ their creativity.
This would be an ideal picture for my double page spread as it shows the singer messing around. This would appeal to my target audience as they like to see their singers having fun and messing around as it makes them familiarise with there role model making them feel closure and forming a bond between them.
This picture would be excellent for a double page spread as it almost makes the singer appear to be gossiping with the reader. This would make the reader feel as if the singer is sharing secrets they have never heard of before with the audience and makes them want to feel more involved. The fact that the shot is a close up gives the reader a sense of connection between the singer and the reader.
