Moodboard

I have produced a mood board of many music magazines which I will use to help produce the different poses I will try with my male model. I particularly like the topless image and the one where the man is smoking. I have noticed that even though it is a music magazine only one of covers has a picture with a musician playing a guitar. The rest are with out any musical instrument what so ever or are posing with an instrument/ microphone. I will get my model to pose with a microphone to see whether I want to include it or not on my front cover.

Costume

There is no constant costume through out the magazines, it depends on the type of band to what type of image they want to convey. Jay Z has a smart suit on which conveys he is rich and feels as if he is in power of his music career. Where as another one of the artists is not wearing a top, to attract more women as he is a good looking a fit man. Prince is wearing a sparkly outfit, conveying his glam rock genre. The artist from HIM is wearing eye liner to convey they are a band that produces dark music, such as rock and grunge.

Camera Shot

Most of the magazines have used a medium shot with the exception of one close up, and one long shot on the top left. I will produce an image with a medium shot but will try a couple of long shots and close ups to see whether they look good or not.

Only two out of the twelve photos have the people looking away and the rest directly at the camera, to catch people's attention, as if they are looking directly at you. I will aim to have my model starring in to the camera to get this same effect.
