Photo Planning

I need to take lots of photos preferably more than needed and relating to target audience and music.

The shots most likely to be used on a magazine are :

  • Wide Shots (WS) show the entire person or area. They’re great for establishing the scene and allow for good action of the characters. Sometimes this is known as the long shot.
  • Medium Shots (MS) frame the subject from the waste up. This is the most common shot and allows for hand gestures and motion.
  • Medium Close Ups (MCU) shots show the subject in more detail and are often framed from just below the shoulders to the top of the head.

Most music magazines feature the singers or band members and they hardly ever show instruments.
I am going to take a range of photos and choose suitable ones. Some with instruments and some without.
