Planning and Experimentation

Timescale/Planning and experimentation

Two page Magazine spread – Create the pages on Photoshop and illustrator about my ethical brand and why everyone should start wearing it (Two weeks)

Organise Photo-shoot – Gather boys and girls and dress them up in my team’s clothes (Two weeks)

Create an online campaign with typography – Use After Effects and win over the audience using flashy text and advertising slogans (Two weeks)

Interviews models - and get responses on why they wear their clothes and what identity the clothes portray them. (One week)

Timescale

I inserted in brackets how long roughly the duration of the task is. Also I will be working at home and when I am in college these tasks will overlap such as: going to do a photoshoot on a Wednesday or Friday and work on my magazine spread on Monday and Tuesday.

Props

For the photoshoot I simply need to acquire a Nikon camera to carry out this task. When I interview models; what I should do is take out the DSLR kit but I think filming the responses on an IPhone would be satisfactory as well.

Locations

For the photoshoot and the interviews of the models I want a white plain background so everything in the picture will be clear to see. For the two-page magazine spread I will visit more areas such as: Oxford Street, Soho and Carnaby Street

Models

Right now I have two boy models. I do have intention to seek out female models and I don’t know the number of models to have for my photoshoot. I would be happy with 3 boys and 3 girls.

Skills needed

Excellent photography skills are required to do the photoshoot. I also need to a strong stylist on the team, which I possess. I also need to have good skills on Photoshop and illustrator to create the magazine spread. Furthermore, I need great skills on After Effects for the online campaign with typography.

First Trails and Experiments

I have already done trails upon creating a campaign on After Effects I used to attract a young audience to vote more. Therefore, I am already familiar with the conventions needed to attract an audience. Photoshoots are no stranger to me. I have participated and organised many photoshoots in various different locations in London that I attend to visit again for my fmp. I now have strong interview skills due to the last task I did, which involved interviewing a lot of people for my project. With the purpose being getting responses I feel that the information that I will attract will generate good ratings for the audience. Something I do need to be more experience in is being more proficient in creating magazine spreads. My teacher has told me to look at fashion blogs such as: Vivienne Westwood’s and look at magazines such as Vice.
