To gain professional appearing images I intend to use the green screening room as it provides high tech lighting facilities and background choices. This room provides a simple white background which could be useful as a basis for Photoshop as the background would be easy to remove. Alternatively, the different lighting positions could be use to create different effects, for example shadows. It is conventional for simple backgrounds to be used on magazine front covers as it allows other conventional features such as the masthead/coverlines/tagline ect to stand out on the page. During my photo shoot I intend to take many images of my model with different lighting effects giving me the opportunity to discuss the different connotions created.
The green room:
I also explored the idea of combining many different magazine covers together such as NME and Q which directly associates the image with the music magazine. However this could have a negative effect on the publication of my music magazine as it could be perceived as promoting alternate magazines. Perhaps I could combine simple band images following the Indie and Rock genre. As today's society is "celebrity obsessed" this choice of background would definitely target my audience. The readers would have an immediate appeal to the magazine from instantly recognising their favourite bands and artists advertised.
