In order for my music magazine to adhere to the criteria and attract the highest audience I will need to make sure that my MES and camera skills are the best they can be.

In relation to MES, I will need to think about the colour scheme of my magazine and what I would like my model to wear. From looking at other magazines, I have learnt that there is more to it than a cover star and a masthead, granted they are two of the most important things but they are not the only things that make up a magazine. I will also need to think about the body language of my model and how she will stand and what pose she will make, I will decide this in advance so that on the day it will go as smoothly as possible. I will also need to make a decision on what I would like my model’s hair and make up to look like, this is a feature that people may not instantly notice when you pick up a magazine however if it wasn’t there or thought of then people would most definitely notice.

I have learnt that there is more to a photo shoot than a camera and a model. For example, I will need to set up the lights, the flash and the camera itself. I will need to capture more than one image because I will need them for the insets as well as the cover star. I will also need to get different camera angles so that my magazine isn’t boring and attracts the audience.
