Hazzard and Risk Assessments

 These risk and hazard assessments are to make me and the actors aware of anything which could possibly harm them or could be seen as something which could affect the production of making these photos for the magazines. The Risk Assessment highlights what are the dangers and potential risks of the location and settings used. They also feature details on the dates that the shoots are likely to take place.As well as a risk assesment there is a hazard evaluation for all of the locations this goes into more detail of why they are risks and also what things could be done to negate control and reduce these risks.

Recee Of location

 Potential Locations - Description - Field or park (preferably one that is remote quiet, and features a river behind it) (Middleton one row)

 Is it suitable – how? Why? (Access, Lighting, Sound )
This is a suitable location as there are many different types of shots I could do to create a different effect. I would use the field for when I’m shooting for my image for skies don’t lie. So it could be relevant to get an image from a lower angle of the artist looking up to the sky. This would be an easy accessible location as they are many different fields in the area also I wouldn’t need any permission to shoot here. Would be a good location to shoot an image which is portraying the other side of dubstep and dance music showing it in a lighter more happy sense and that it isn’t all just about grunge and dark nightlife. An underground music dens.

 Additional  Comments / Observations

 This shoot depends upon the weather as it wouldn’t be a necessary photo if it was raining or murky dull weather as I am looking to shoot a sunny upbeat shot so I would look to shoot when the weather is sunny or at least bright so I can create a sunny upbeat atmosphere. Parks and fields are versatile and can feature different props so you can make a different scene for different story.

 Potential Locations - Description - Street scene in the night (using the street lights to create effect)

Potential Locations - Description A background of a brick wall.

 Is it suitable – how? Why? (Access, Lighting, Sound )
 This is suitable shot because it is easy accessible and I won’t need any permission to use this as I could use my own house. Also minimal lighting is needed as It is a brick wall so it doesn’t really matter if it is light or dark as the surrounding area doesn’t matter. I am using a brick wall because it adds to the urban effect which I am going for and would emphasise where the artists have come from and show off their background and roots.

 Additional  Comments / Observations
 This shot would be more effective if it was to be shot on a day it wasn’t raining as it then wouldn’t effect the actors make up and it would make them look more professional as they can pull of whatever pose I need with minimal fuss.

Planning My Article

Article
My Article will be a story into the band 'Skies Don't Lie' rise to the top and it will be a story and insight into what they have done to be successful and how they have made it to where they are. But this article also at the end of the piece feature an interview with the group and their insight into what they've done to be successful and what they plan to do next to continue on the success. This will give the fans access to the group. So this is a story and review of the band with a small feature at the end of an interview with the band of them saying their views.

Style
My narrative voice will be initially third person as the article is a piece about the bands rapid escalation to the top, so i will be reviewing their journey to where they are so using first or second person is unnecessary on this occasion as i am writing about them and i am not a part of the band. The article will also include an interview with band and they will speak in first or second person as they will be speaking about themselves and what they did to reach where they are now, but they may also use some second person so that can create Synthetic personalisation with the audience and create and understanding between the two so that the audience can feel like they are interacting with band. As my group are a dance and upbeat type of group they bring across a sort of buzz and energy and vibrancy, so they will use words that will engage their audience and remain upbeat. They aren't going to be a negative group or written in the style of a magazine like Kerrang, they will use words which will engage and encourage the audience into remaining interested. The group are quite young and informal and want to be fun so words that i use are not going to be highly intellectual and they will be short and snappy and engaging. Words i may use could be things like: Buzz, Joy, Banter, all words which associate with fun like the style of group they are. In this article as it is a story about the actual music industry side of the bands success some specific words will have to be used like promoting, production, influence, indie labels E.C.T. This would be used in the story to add formality and add professionalism to the article.

Beginning
My Begging will be A summary/descriptive piece of what the article will be about and what the reader can expect to see in the article. How i will encourage the readers to read on is by giving them little snippets of information which will make them want to read on and find out more about what has been said. Also i would use words which may exaggerate or escalate the context so that the audiences sees it as a must read and be intrigued by the text and want to found out more. So in a way an enigma could be used. I might also gradually build the introduction up and end it on a sort of cliffhanger leaving the audience on the edge of their seats desperate to find out more of what the band did next. And i would also mention about the interview which fans will want to find out about and read on to see as they would want to feel like they had a connection with the band and create a link between the two.

Extra Text on the page
As my article ends with an interview with the band, the readers may not find out everything or something in particular they were expecting or may be intrigued to get to know the band better. So i could set up a webchat with the group via the magazines website, which would encourage more visitors to the sight and raise its profile. I may also do a Q and A section where the band will follow up the article and do a question and answer section with its fans and they will be published in the magazine the following issue which will encourage more purchasers.

Inspirational images/ moodboard

 This is an inspirational image as it shows how the background and location can represent the artists genre and his style of music. This is example and he is quite an urban undeground grunge type artist. Also the use of costume makes him standout as he is wearing a bright white t shirt which makes him stand out, giving the image that he stands out from the crowd and his style of music is unique. Also in this image example is looking up to the sky which you could use in a few different situations, you could say he was looking to the future and looking to doing something different and expanding his music range. Also it could be used to show his rapid rise to the top and how he is aiming for the stars as hes looking above suggesting he a cut above the rest. Also the camera angle is slightly lower angle suggesting that Example has contorl and is of more power.


This image of chase and status is quite intersting as it shows how they are staying still despite the world around them changning as they are stood still but the cars and lights behind them are blurry showing how they are moving. Suggesting that the band aren't going to change for anyone and they are strong enough to stay succesful despite the industry changing. Also this is a mid close up of the hroup showing they are trying to create a relationship with the audience so that they can empathise with the group. They also chose to shoot this image at night a time when primarily you would listen to chase and status' music as it is upbeat and dancey which is why this is a relative image as this is the type of genre i have gone for also. So my image could use some of the features found in this photo. The effect of doing this photo at night could lead to the connotation that they shine despite being in darkness and can stand out.

 I chose this image of Pro Green as an inspirtational image because it highlights the importance of camera angles as he is staring directly at the camera he is trying to engage witht the audience to create a relationship with them so they can feel empathy. Also this camra shot shows how the background and location can be significant as he has a blank white background which could suggest he is trying to be fresh and wipe the slate clean. But what it does do is focus all of the attention to him as the black of his shirt stands out from the white. As there is nothingelse to look at the audience would just be concentrating at looking at Pro Green. Also costume is used as he lookjs quite cool and with the slick gelled back combover he is showing his personality. Also his tatoo isn't hidden showing he isn't scared to show off his identity and who he is.

This image of Calvin Harris is significant as it shows the importance of costume when taking a photo. The use of his glasses hide his identity which could lead the reader to thinking there is more to come or that he has something to hide giving off a sense of intrigue. Again in this image he is on a white background so all the attention is focused on Calvin Harris.

I chose these images as these are the type of artists which my magazine will feature and i can draw on these as inspiration from my final product. I can now see what is succesful. These images have shown me that the choice of location can be of importance and how camera angles can show off power. I may consider using a white background if i want my characters to stand out. Or i could make them wear a white top on a dark background or dark night scene. Colour is very important within my genre to generate the vibrancy and bouncey nature it has which appeals to its audience.

Image Analysis and Composition

• This image of Ne-Yo displays he is an artist who is very powerful as in the rule of thirds his eye line is in the higher third which suggests that he has a lot of dominance and is trying to gain power over the audience. His eyes are also looking directly at his audience showing he has power and he is trying to draw the in.
• His pose is one of confidence and arrogance the type of pose someone who is very successful would take. This is as his body is quite open and he is not shying away from the camera he is looking directly at it showing he is trying to engage to his audience and get them to relate and empathise with him.
• A mid shot is used as we see half of his body this could suggest that the artist is trying to show that there is more to come from him and that his audience haven't seen the best of him yet. Creating that sense of suspicion and intrigue to the audience.
• He is wearing quite formal clothing suggesting he is quite a sophisticated artist who takes his music and himself very seriously. Also showing that there is maturity to his music and that he is ready to mature into a different artist and hes not all the same thing. Wearing a hat also shows that he is maybe hiding something from his audience like that he has something up his sleeve to wow his audience with. The use of a suit in R&B is unusual so what Ne-Yo is trying to show that he is not one to follow the crowd and he is trying to make the genre his own and be different. This would interest the audience as they would be intrigued to what his different about him to other R&B artists.
• The lighting used also creates a shadowed effect which would create intrigue to the audience so they would want to find out more to who ne-yo is.
• His facial expression is quite unresponisve and neutral suggesting he is a person who is looking to engage with a lot of different audiences as he isn't looking to put any one off his style.

After making all of these points about Ne-Yo i would presume he is a character who is suspicious and has a lot more to offer his audience and he is sophisticated and looking to make the next step into his fledgling music Career. He is a powerful character who is trying to get his audience onside.

• This image shows a lot of suspicion as his eyes are hidden by his hair suggesting he is either shy and wants to hide away from the media fame or that he is hiding something which makes him seem suspicious to his audience and they would want to find out more.
• Also Closed framing is used as he is on a backdrop of a wall so it looks as though he is trapped and can't get out and wants to do something different as he isnt totally comfortable in what he is doing and where he is within himself
• There is a shadow effect made by the lighting suggesting that there is a suspicion around him as a character and he isn't letting on everything and hes hiding something which would make the audience intrigued.
• He is in the centre of the page and looking directly at the camera suggesting he is trying to engage to his audience and hook them in and make them empathise with him and feel like they are both on the same level.
• His costume is quite casual suggesting he is easy going and there isn't to much seriousness and maturity as a group and that he is just like his audience and he doesn't look into to much of the fame side of the music industry.
• The camera shot is like a mid long shot suggesting that there is maybe more to come from him as an artists and he doesn't yet want to let out his full identity.

After looking at all of these things i would suggest this guy is a shy character who has more to give as an artist and wants to try something different.

After looking at these images i would like my images to show a lot of power and hold over the audience so i would use High eye lined shots so in the rule of thirds the eye line would be in the top third as this shows power and authority.But as my music magazine is about dance style music it doesn't require to much seriousness so my models would have to be laid back in their pose and outfits so they wouldn't be wearing things like suits and shirts and ties instead they would be wearing clothes demonstrated in image two in which the audience can relate to and feel like they are on a similar level and relate to the audience. Lighting used would have to be clear and not dark so it doesn't take the emphasis away from the audience and shadowing would be a good technique to use if i wanted to create a feel of uncertainty and intrigue. My location would have to be quite simple as the emphasis on my magazine is on the artist and not the surroundings they are in. The body language would have to be quite dominant so that the audience can feel confident of the artist.
