Shooting Schedule - When, Where, Who

Some of the photos I will be using were taken last year before I knew of this music magazine task. I've had it confirmed that it is still okay to use those photos. I have recently taken more photos, most for my personal collection but some for the magazine's purposes.

The dates and locations the photos will be taken/have been taken are:

• Hammersmith Apollo - 31/10/10
• Wembley Arena - 12/02/11
• Birmingham LG Arena - 13/02/11 and 05/05/10
• Nottingham Trent Arena - 19/02/11
• 02 Arena, London - 26/06/10
• Wembley Stadium - 11/09/10

The people who might feature in my magazine are:

• Gerard Way ~ My Chemical Romance ~
• Mikey Way ~ My Chemical Romance ~
• Frank Iero ~ My Chemical Romance ~
• Ray Toro ~ My Chemical Romance ~
• Corey Taylor ~ Slipknot/ Stone Sour ~
• M. Shadows (Matt Sanders) ~ Avenged Sevenfold ~
• Synyster Gates (Brian Elwin Haner Jr) ~ Avenged Sevenfold ~
• Zacky Vengeance (Zachary Baker) ~ Avenged Sevenfold ~
• Johnny Christ (Jonathon Seward) ~ Avenged Sevenfold ~
• Paul Stanley ~ KISS ~
• Gene Simmons ~ KISS ~
• Sean Smith ~ The Blackout ~
• Matt Bellamy ~ Muse ~
• Simon Neil ~ Biffy Clyro ~
• Jon Bon Jovi ~ Bon Jovi ~

I obviously dont have their consent for these photos being used...seeing as they are celebrities. But then again, they are my photos so it's okay :)

Risk Assessment

In all four of the venues, there are quite a few safety hazards:

• It is possible to pass out from the excessive heat levels due to the amount of people and the stage lights


• You could get injured if in the standing section of the crowd


• Your camera could get stolen


• Your camera could get broken


• Where I was sitting at Wembley Arena, I was directly at the top of the stairs - it was ridiculous to place seats there as I could've fallen and injured myself.

I managed to get the stairs I'm talking about in a photo I accidently took:

See what I mean? It's so steep! Dangerous...

Recce - Locations

Locations

The photos that I will use have been taken in:

• Hammersmith Apollo
• Birmingham LG Arena
• Wembley Arena
• Nottingham Trent Arena

I have chosen to use these locations because I thought I could attempt to get some decent photographs that would look good enough to be in a music magazine. Plus it is also the natural setting for these type of photos to be taken in. Luckily, my photos were a success! I've spoken to Mrs Fearnley and she said my photos were perfectly fine to use! :) I was suprised I got good photos seeing as I was jumping all over the place during the gig :P

This photo was taken at a different concert to the ones I'm including pictures from - so that's why the pictures will be taken from the other side of the arena...just to make it clear :)

Deciding on my target audience using SAGEL

I can decide on my target audience by using SAGEL.

Socio Economic Group

Age

Gender

Ethnicity

Lifestyle

I'm going to use SAGEL to help me distinguish what my target audience is, it'll be easier because it'll be sorted into sections to help create one idea of an target audience.

The social class will consist of emo/greb style, as this is the type of music they would listen to.

The age will be for teens and young adults (approx 14-21) but it is also fine for other ages to read it also

The gender will be both male and female - I've decided this because magazines existing today (e.g Kerrang!) were originally aimed at men, but women still bought it, so the gender doesn't really matter - it's all about the music! :D

I'm aiming to appeal to all ethnic groups, because once again, it's all about the music! :D

The people who read this will obviously have big interests in music. They could be keen gig attenders.

My target audience will look something like this:

Examples of Kerrang! live reviews (My Chemical Romance and Avenged Sevenfold)

These are two examples of Kerrang! live reviews that I have scanned from my own copies of Kerrang!.

I have decided to post examples of these because for my double page spread, I am going to do a live review - I decided this because I thought it would be rather awesome to use some photos I took from recent concerts I've attended. I will be using photos from either of the 3 dates I saw My Chemical Romance and photos from the Avenged Sevenfold concert I went to.

Kerrang! uses a style on their live reviews with smaller photos scattered across the 2nd page of the double page spread. There is ALWAYS a part where they ask "How was it for you?".

Just for the sake of saying this - the reviewer for the MCR concert obviously had no idea what they were talking about...they deserved WAY more than 3 stars :( That gig was amazing!

Anyway, back on task...Kerrang! tend to use quirky little captions for the photos, this gives a little bit of humour to the magazine.

All these aspects are very consistent throughout each issue.

Example of a Kerrang! double page spread

This is an example of a Kerrang! double page spread that i scanned from my Kerrang! magazine.

The colours have been chosen well, red is part of the main colour pallete, plus it matches Gerard's hair.

Kerrang! has followed it's house style by having 3 columns per page, with the text wrapped around the photo.
