establishing/background shots

These shots were not on my shot list but background shots that I though I could use

Double page shots

I took many shots of the same scene experimenting so i would be able to choose the best later on.

Contents page shots

I took the same shot with varying models manga books and scenes so I could choose and gain opinions on which is best.

cover page shots

I found it difficult to vary this shot but took muliple images with slight changes.

practice shots / potential shots

Here I simply refreshed my DSLR camera skill by taking a variety of shots for practise before bringing in my model and being unprepared. I experimented with different lights and focus.

magazine name

After much consideration I have decided on the name 'Yinyue' for my magazine title as shown in my cover flat plans. I will place the Chinese characters next to the phonetic main spelling as I have noted this is a convention in half Chinese and half English magazine.

音乐 (yin yue) means music pronounced 'yin-you' I kept it simple to minimise confusion in translation and also because POP music is so broad
I have drawn a mock up logo to show how I want it to be stylised so the Y's are mainly what you see as shown here or something similar.

scamps

 

I have created these shot lists so I could gain an idea of the photos I need to take, how I will take them and where they could go
