Fashion photo shoot ideas for our Magazine

I know its a bit blurry but I hope that you can still see. This is the idea so far for the fashion photo shoot. We formed this idea last week (04/10/2012) in Jalpa's lesson it might change the idea and shooting locations slightly in the coming weeks. 

This Morning 12/10/2012

This morning (before I go to work) I've found some illustrations online that could be a usual find for our magazine research. We're thinking of doing some drawings for the front cover, the A-Z film index and maybe the back cover. Here they are:

Yesterday's lesson (11/10/2012)

Yesterday's lesson (11/10/2012) wasn't too bad, Chloe and Lucyann managed to take photographs of our groups contributors page. Also in Jalpa's class, towards the last hour, the editors (Chloe and Lucyann) went round the class and did a one-to-one progress interview of our chosen topic. We discussed my part (film review and feature writing) in more detail. In all honesty, I think I'm more confident on the feature page because I already know what kind of layout I might create, the two editors agreed with my idea but I have to produce the page in more detail for the following week (not the finished piece of course). In the other hand, my film review might cause some problems because me and the editors are thinking of watching a film that might be out in November while I'm doing mock-ups and a proper finished page (the final finished reviews will be then dropped in) or I can write about up and coming films that will be out in the following year and add a comment like, 'watch out for..... films that will be out in February', etc. I think I prefer this idea, but lets see how it all goes....

Thursday 20th September- Lesson 4

Working to a Brief

Minutes- 20^th September 2012 12:21pm

Room 2.06

We had our first meeting as a class together, I chose to do the meetings for this lesson. This was quite hard work because I had to listen carefully so as not to miss anything out (I did voice my ideas a few times because the disscusion was too interesting to miss. Anyway here is the finished brief for this lesson.

      
Lifestyle fashion magazine

    Do our own page each and take photographs

·         Proof readers/Writers need to read over the magazine and to make sure that the continuity of it flows together - Jade and Hannah

·         Beauty- Hannah(for definite) and Kelsey  

·         Fashion (shoots/models)- Emma, Jessie, Chloe

·         Festivals- Lucyann, Jade

·         Sports- Matt (for definite), Lewis?

·         Disscusion of type of magazine whether the format should include girls on one side and boys on the other or a flip typed one. Although the problem because we have less boys and more girls and we might include a beauty page, it might be harder to approach this task.

·         We are going to incorporate the music page to tie in with the interviews, and festivals.

·         We need to ask client about negotiating whether the magazine is going to be a Leicester based or a national.

·         Interviews-Chloe, might include up and coming artists

·         Nightlife- Lewis although Chloe might help

·         For each section e.g. Beauty, fashion etc, there is going to be an advert after each section.

·         Might include tour dates in the features page

·         Film review- two double page spreads on film and music reviews.

·         Film- Lewis, Kelsey , Music- Me, Sophie

·         Holidays- Best places to eat, party, shop, places to relax etc at affordable prices.

·         Front & Back cover- Alex, Lucyann although we’re all going to have an input in the designs
