The use of a studio allows more space, plain backgrounds so that we just focus on the model. The use of a green screen is beneficial because we can edit effects, backgrounds and various other things over the top easier.

The use of natural surroundings is valuable because they are easily accessible and work well as a simplistic background.

The use of city monuments makes the magazine look more fascinating and provides a sense of journey as in through musical industry.

The use of instruments provides an idea of what the music magazine genre is. Guitar is indie, drum kit is rock so indie rock.

Camera equipment such as lighting, tripod and a camera creates a professional outcome.

The different costumes here; are some that I am going to try and follow as close as I can for my magazine to try and create the genre of music-Indie Rock.

There is a variety of clothing on this page casual, to smart casual, this is because I want a variety of photos for different aspects of my magazine.

These photos are effective on the cover of a magazine because they all show the artist/artists that the magazine is about. They are all effective because they use different shots to capture the celebrity. Some are long shots involving whole body shots, where as some others are more close up and involved with the artist. They are also very effective because they are sharp photographs and very clear.

This magazine featuring “Ed Sheeran” on the cover is my favourite because the way he is positioned and the overall layout is effective because the clothing, lighting and use of props really brings out what the music genre is.
