Research and Planning: Weather Post

I did some research on what the weather will be like for the next five days. I did this because for pictures such as Paige and Adam's I want the skies to be clear without rain. So from this I can see that I could do my photos on either Monday or Wednesday as those are the days when there will be no rain.

Research and Planning: Costumes and Props List

From research I gathered that boy bands don't usually have props on the cover page as the main focus should be on the boys themselves and what they look like as a group. So for the main picture on the cover I will not have any props for the boy band. The costumes will be clothing that Will, Adam and Callum already have and will be smart/casual which I noticed the boy bands have. I will take pictures and put the boys clothing on post at a later date.

Paige and Adams break up story will show a long shot of them both walking at night-time in a mise en scene that makes it appear that they are both being pictured looking like a troubled couple by the paparazzi. For this to look believable I will need:

• A cap (Adam)
• Sunglasses (Paige)
• Large Coats (Both)

For Raine's section as am advice giver I think to make it look more light-hearted and fun she will be needing props of:

• Doctors gear
• Lab coat

Research and Planning: Model Shots

These are the models that I want to use in my magazine. The first three are of Will, Adam and Callum who I will be using to mimic a pop boy band. They will be on the main picture on my cover and will feature in both the contents page and double page spread. This is because in various pop magazines the focus is boy bands as that was young girls are usually interested in as well as the music that they produce. I chose Will, Adam and Callum as I think they fit the "boy band" image well and will look good as  a group.


The following models are Paige and Raine who will also be on the cover of my magazine as in pop magazines a lot of pictures are used. I will be using Paige as one of the boy bands girlfriend who have recently split up as pop magazines writes a lot about peoples relationships.

Raine will be pictured on her own and will have her own section as a celebrity who gives advice. I chose her as I think she is suitable to fit this role.
