Organisation of my magazine, actors and original photography, location and props

I have planned to take photos of my main artist on Friday 7th February in a drama studio. I have chosen this location as the background is plain black and will be easy for my to crop out / suit well with my magazine when i am editing pictures etc.

Organisation of my actors, location, costumes or props and drafting.planning of my magazines photography

I am now going to try and come up with another support act who will feature in my magazine. 
I am thinking of it either being a single artist of a boy or a girl on their own, however i was going to base this decision on the original photography i take before constructing my magazine.

Organisation and Planning of my original photography and actors





Here I have researched into outfits which look indie/grungey for the image of my girl artist. 
I liked these images as i thought it suited my genre of music rock/indie and would also suit my model who will be my main artist.

Drafting/planning of magazine, photography and actors



I like these photos of rock band as they are all using the technique of 'blocking'. I think that it looks effective and I will be able to use these photos and inspiration for inspiration when i take my original photography.

Drafting/planning of my magazine and actors

I have now decided that i will call my artists support band 'Old school funks'. I have decided to call it this as it has reference to their stories behind the music. As the were foster children this can relate to them not having a good upbring 'funks' and knowing eachother for ages 'old school'

Drafting/Planning of my magazine and actors

As i want to have a supporting band for my magazine (a girl and two boys) I need to come up with a band name for them.
As the reason my main artist writes/sings music is because she used to be bullied and never felt as though she fitted in anywhere because she used to move around alot.
Because of this, I wanted a band who also had a story behind them. 
My supporting band are three friends who grew up together in a foster home and wrote music together.
I want the name of the band to have reference to the word 'lost' as it fits in well with their backgrounds and the fact they only have eachother now. 
Here are some ideas of what the band will be called using 'band name maker'.

Drafting/Planning into my magazine, photography and actors

I have started to plan what the support band will be for my magazine.
I have decided that it will be a band of three, two males and a female.
They will all be around their 20's and also be an indie/rock band which will be supporting my main artist.

I have researched pictures of some indie/rock bands which have two males and one female so that i can gain inspiration from the clothing they are wearing, what they look like etc.
Researching pictures will also help me when I come to taking my own original photography as i will be able to see how to position my artists to suit the genre of music.
Here are some examples;

I will need to begin to think of names which will suit the featuring band within my magazine.
I can refer back to this planning to help me with further tasks.

Drafting/planning of my magazine and organisation of my actors (Ideas for my magazine)

As I have now decided that I will have my main artist who my interview will be on is a girl named Aubry banks, I now need to consider what other artists/bands will be in my music magazine. 
As I already have a solo artist, I think that I should start to make research into a band that could feature in my magazine. I will need to look into band photos to get inspiration of how my band photos will look like for original photography. I will also need to think about what the bands name will be, how many members, what genders, etc. 
This band will be a supporting act for my main artist Aubry Banks.
