Image and model planning

  Heat's main focus throught its magazine is celebrity and showbiz- therefore all of my pictures will be people shots instead of scenery, settings etc.
As I have already discovered during my research, for images to be effective in a magazine they need to give readers an idea of what the article is about before they actually read it. Because my article is giving a behind the scene insight into how TOWIE is constructed, my images will focus on all the preperation the cast and producers are involved in behind the cameras. The images will be fun, girly, and capture the materialistic and artificial nature of the reality TV show to capture the readers attention. This also links to my critical investigation because it focused on how reality TV encourages consumerism- therefore if my images show all their material belongings (for example see shot 7 below in table), readers are likely to copy this and go and buy simular things because they see the stars as role models. My images will show how producers construct this representation of the stars purposely to encourage a consumer culture.
Below I have created a table of all 15 scenes I plan to take pictures of to use in my magazine. This ensures I get all the pictures required when it comes to the photoshoot, I have all the right props and cast in the right place at the right time, and for effective time mamagement so I am able to stick to my gantt chart and have enough time to edit the photos.
