It is important to get the signed permission of my models' because I now have the authority to take as many pictures as I need of them as well as the fact that they are my own photographs.

Production Diary 9 - Finishing touches, Photoshoot, Subscription.

This week has been very busy, as the deadline for finishing our draft magazines is December 19^th. This week I have continued to work through my magazine, making little touches here and there. I have finished all the text for the contents page and the front cover – all I need now is the photos. I am also in the process of transferring the content of my article over to the final article, and I decided that as I am most likely going to go over the limited space that I gave myself, but do not wish to remove any of the words, I have created another page of my article. It now consists of 5 pages – 2 double page spreads and one single page. Creating another single page has proven to be quite helpful, as it means I can incorporate more pull quotes, images, and my box out text, which is going to be the details for the 2014 Tour of my band.

Recently I held my photoshoot, which I think was a success. Though we had a late start, we finished earlier than I expected, and got a good variety of shots. I will put up a contact sheet later. The models were good and patient and did what I asked of them, and their change of outfits, combined with the contrasting colours of the background gave me the spooky atmospheric effect that I desired.

Having now done my photoshoot, it has allowed me to do many more things with my magazine; I can now complete some of the tasks that I have been prevented from doing previously due to having no photos.

Next I plan to sift through the photoshoot, picking out the best photos that I think would be appropriate for my magazine and edit them to what I had pictured in my head. I have already created three ‘subscriber’ magazines, each with a different member’s face on them; so that the subscribers can pick and choose their favourite or even make a collection. I got this idea from the One Direction issues of Q magazine – though there was controversy about it, I think it is a good idea as then the fans will be able to pick their favourite themselves, and it will also convince other readers to become a subscriber and thus boost the magazine’s reputation, sales, readership and circulation.

This is my box out text, I decided to do a tour date to draw the readers in further and to get them excited about my band. Fans will be able to interact more and since the tour takes place in more than one part of England, more people will be attracted to it. It also fits in with the educational aspect of the Uses and Gratifications theory but the actual event will fit into the entertainment side. I have incldued support acts of the same genre to boost their reputation and make them seem popular and well liked by other famous artists. The box out will be tinted purple in order to fit in with the house colour scheme.
