Planning for my music magazine

Model consideration: 
When looking for models for the cover and double page spread of my music magazine, I would need to make sure that they would fir the idea that I wanted to portray. I want to adopt the genre hip hop.  and rap and ideally have a girl for the main image and have a band for the double page spread. I will ask friends and family to ensure they are comfortable and know the look in which I'm looking for. I will then narrow it down and complete a shoot in which highlights the genre of the magazine with an eye catching image. I will also discuss the costume and use of props in which the model will be using so that they will be completely aware of the task. I will also so them examples in which influenced the idea of the style and genre of the shoot which will allow it to meet my expectations. 

Props & costume:
As my cover will mainly be focused on the model itself, I don't intend to use many props but make sure that the clothing is bright which will be eye-catching  I will also make sure that the models are positioned in urban pose. For the group shot I would want each person to be dressed individually yet positioned to look like a band. I want to go for a bright and loud shoot, where the personality of the models come through, which fits the theme of hip-hop and rap music. 

Location of shoot: 
I will do my shoot at school, as it will be easy for my models. I will set up a black back drop which will make my models clothing stand out more and will be easy to edit, I will also have lights shinning onto the set which will ensure that lighting is perfect. Health and safety will also be much easier to control at school as the room I will be shooting in will be big, so I can make sure that my models don't trip over lights and wires. 

Mode of address: 
The mode of address that will be used in my music magazine will be informal so that the context will relate to the reader and a relationship will be formed. When considering images and articles for my magazine I will consider my target audience 16-22 year olds so that they will be able to easily relate to the context and find loyalty which will create good consumers. The cover shoot I will have my model directly looked at the camera. Where as the group shots will be fun and show personality. 

Colour scheme: 
I want the color scheme of my magazine to be very classic. I think I will aim to stick to the colors black, white and possibly read as I am calling it 'Loud' I think that the read will represent that. I want all of my images to be in black and white which will help me keep to the aim I want to achieve.
