My Location

I am using the location of a garage which is owned to a band member I was photographing for the shoot. This is where they held their band practice.

 What I like about the location is it personalised to the band, it shows their personality. It is ultimately a place where they hang out and socialise. I want my target market to be groups of friends who hang out in their 'special place' like this and sit and read the magazine together. It has been set up to allow them to have band practice, this shows music has been a large influence to create this place which they can hang out and socialise, without music it might not even existed. This relates to my genre of mod because many nightclubs and common mod hangouts were created by people who wanted to come together to listen to the same type of music. I want my target market to relate this hang out to one they have of their own. This will connect them to the cover models straight away and they will believe they have common interest and hobbies.
In the garage there are many music instruments, this will show to my target market it is a music magazine.

RISK ASSESMENT

It is important I carry out a risk assessment so I identify all the risks. This way this will reduce the chance of any accidents happening.
As there is a lot of props in this location, it is important they are all in a position in a place where there wont be a obstruction when taking photographs.
There are many bottles in the garage, therefore may sure they are not placed on floor or at the edge of a table where they may fall off and smash.
Also ensure the wires for the equipment are neatly hidden away so they do not trip anyone over.
