ideas for my photoshoot

Ok so I have been planning my front cover photo for my music magazine and my first ideas were:

  • a scene outside
  • with a mixed gender rock band
and after this I thought I don't like this and it's not going to work outside so I changed it to:

  • a stereotypical girl band/ or just two girls as the main singer with a band behind them.
  • the picture will rather be set on the stairs with them looking directly into the camera, or if it is the two girls it will be the pair of them on the stage singing into microphones with the band playing behind them.
  • the props used for the first option would be obviously the stairs, though i do need to think about this idea more. but the other option has been thought about a lot as I have thought I could have the two girls standing on the stage singing into these microphones if possible



Also with the band behind them playing their instruments.




But these are just rough ideas i have started with.

my analysis of my survey research.

  • From the research on survey monkey have I found that the majority of people answering were female in the age group of 16 to 18.


  • I found that 41.7% of people who answered rarely read a magazine.

  • 54.2% of people would rather read a music orientated magazine though that was closely followed by 45.8% of people wanting it to be about films.

  • The price they said they would pay would be in between 50p and £1.00

  • when i asked what they would like to see in a magazine the main responses were celebrity gossip, music and film news and TV news.

  • 66.7% said that they would prefer it to be released in the summer.

  • 58.3% of people said that they would not like a them though the 45.8% that said they would suggested that the theme should be something along the lines of anything to do with celebrities and music and have bold prints and colours.


The pros of doing my survey on survey monkey is that it is a much quicker way of collecting data and totalling up the percentage of people that answered which also makes it easier to explain the answer because you don't have to calculate the numbers.

The cons of doing it on survey monkey is that I can't really tell the persons emotions, so I don't know if they are serious or joking. so this means i can't tell if the results are truthful or if they are writing it for a laugh.
