For this task I was asked to research potential locations where I can have a photo shoot of pictures of music artists which will feature in my magazine. This is important as the location of the picture can reveal a lot about the magazine and the artist. For example; the shot could be in a popular recognisable location such a London, which could suggest that this is the artists home town. However, if the background is quite plain then it can make the magazine cover stand out and also look more professional. For example, if the shot of the artist is on a plain background then It can be easy to edit the background and change it to different colours.
As part of my own research I decided to go out and take photos of potential locations that I could use for the photos featuring in my magazine. 1. Plain Background This is a picture of one of the plain white walls in my house, this can be used as a background for images which may be photo shopped / edited onto other backgrounds. This is easy to use as it doesn't require me or the musician to travel far to take the photos yet the final photo will still look good. It can look very professional taking pictures on a plain background as it doesn't make the picture look messy or confusing. It allows the main focus to be on the musician and not the background. 2. Plain Brick Wall This picture is of a plain brick wall, which is one of my potential locations for my backgrounds. I decided to use this as gives off a very urban vibe which suits the pop / rap genre very well. Its easy to access which means it will be convenient if i decide to use this as a background for my final piece. Many photographers use brick walls as backgrounds to give it an edgy feel.
3. Photography background
I decided to use the white background in the technology block as I feel this will make the pictures look professional on a plain white background. Boomerangs of my location shots!
I decided to use the app called 'Boomerang' in order to present my location shots in a creative way. these 3 location shots are potential locations for my photo shoot for my magazine. The boomerangs (from left to right) show:
1. Photography Background in the Technology Block at Langley Girls 2. A plain White Wall at my house 3. A Brick Wall All these locations are easy to access so would be convenient to do the photo shoots in any of these places. Although they are simple backdrops, I feel that the simplicity of the background will have more of an impact on the magazine as it will focus on the music artist.
