NEA Task 21 (Planning) : Photography Planning

Photography will be used to create the scene. First of all I will use a model as the director in order to get the magazine attention. This is because they will gain attraction to the public as they may recognise this director from another scene.

They will be in a place that is very similar to a directors office in order to make it seem as if they are a director, as well as to show that they are hard-working director and are always working to make the best movies possible. They will be wearing a suit in order to look professional, because this will make them stand out from any normal person.

The colours around them will be dimmer so they stand out more within the scene. Their body language will be very formal, meaning they won't be slouching and will look very professional.

The Colours I plan to use
-A dull blue
-Navy blue for the suit
-White for the shirt

For the magazine cover, I will have similar images to this one, however I will most likely take them from different angles. I will have a low shot angle to create a sense of power within the director.

For the second picture, the director will be closer to the camera and shot from a different angle other than the front. They will likely be facing away from the camera. This is a delibrate choice to make them see more mysterious.

The colours will be darker as well. The lighting will be much more tamed with only some lights. The lights will probably be colder colours as well rather than brighter colours unlike the first picture.

For my website, I will have a picture of the director in the first image looking at a laptop, implying that he is looking at this website. This is to make sure it seems like the director is endorsing the image.


NEA Task 20: (Website Homepage and Linked Page)

My website and banners will include the title of the magazine with a black and white colour as this is similar to a suit which is what directors wear sometimes to interview. It makes it seem very intelligent and creative, so using this same colour scheme will imply my magazine is the same as them.

On my homepage I will have he magazine front covers to provide the best preview of what my magazine is about. It will have both front covers on the front to best entice them. It will also have a singular content page as this does not spoil what will happen on the page. I will also include many quotes from reviewers about the magazine because they are going to want to know the opinions of other people to make sure it's reliable.

The magazine aim to make a positive impression in the reader feel like that the magazine is the best possible place to learn about film.

Some text include
"Latest Front Covers"
"What can you expect in the magazine"
"Latest stories"
For audio visuals I will include  an interview with the director featured on the front cover of the first edition. 

This is because he is famous and well known and it will improve the magazines reach as people will hear about the magazine just because this famous director featured in th magazine and on the website. It will only showcase part of what will appear in the magazine.
