My pictures


I really like the photographs I have taken and I would like to use some of them on my contents page. The reason I took some of these photos was because I think they fit into the indie style and they make the person look free alone and serious. I also like the way that they all fit in with the background.


i really like this photo because she looks alone and serious i also like the way she is wering an indie style oulfit,although i could of took this picture better because there is a road in the middle were as i would of like it just grass.

i like this shot because it makes her look quite calm ans i like the way she is posing on a rock but were i took the shot could of been better because i have missed her foot out!

i really like this shot next to the light house because it makes her look alone but the frame could of been better.
this was one of my favorate shotes because she looks really indie but she could of lookd alot more happyer in this photo



in this shot she looks quite serious witch i do like,but i think that she could relax her shoulders alot more and  look alot more calm.
this shot was my favorate and i realy wanted to use this as my front cover shot i love the way the lighthouse is in the background and i also like the framing of the shot but i couldnt really think of something to explain the picture 


same goes with this shot i really would of liked to use is i also think the framing is alot better in this shot and i have got all of her shoes in this picture she also is poesing really well and it makes the shot look fantastic with the pose because she looks quite confadant on top with the arm movments but the way the legs are positioned make her look unsure .

i dont quite no why i took this shot but i really like the way she is looking and using direct adress making the audince have to think about the picture.

same goes with this shot i like the pose although it gets ruend by the way she is grabbing her dress.


i loved this picture but then it made me quite scared i think she would look better if she smiled abit more but overall i really like the shot
i think im going to use this shot in my contents paige as she looks quit happy melow and relaxed but looks really confadent to.

i absulutley love the way she poses she looks so relaxed the way her leg is on the wall and i love the miceon cene as she is sitting in a light house window.

same for this shot.

i like this shot put it looks asif the pose is forsed but i think she looks really nice and i think she does look indie on this photo.

i really like this photo aswell but her hair wreks the image abit i love the oufit she wears aswell.

she looks far to serious on this shot although she looks good and she does look indie.
i like this shot but i also think i could of made the framing alot better but i also think she looks indie and looks really good with the pose she is doing.

i dont quite no why i took this shot but i do no i like her poses


over all i think im going to take these pictures again and think about what were and how im going to take them 



im going to use one of these pictures to hav eas my main image on my front cover as she is using direct adress and there is plenty of room for me to add cver lines and graphice etc.

After an anticipated wait I finally got an hour with the band to find out what they had to say. I found out what they really want for their future and what it’s like being part of a really popular band.
 The band is made up of four boys called Mark, Jack, Tom and Chris. They have been together for two months and they all have a range of different personalities and cope with things differently.
 I found that Mark and Tom were allot more confident than the other two and had allot more to say on subjects I was asking them.  To start with I asked the band who came up with the name the upper hand? Tom and Mark both said it was them but then Tom gave in and mark said “well we were chilling in the common room one day and we decided we needed a new name.  We came up with the upper hand!”
 they did also say there was some history on the band and they also told us how the band started, Tom one of the louder ones in the group said “well me and Jack started the band we were originally called the funky munks and we  did play for a while with another boy on the guitar we then decided we needed a drummer so we asked Mark. The first time and he refused  then the lad we had on the guitar left, after a good think Mark come to the band and asked if they still needed a drummer we were  overwhelmed. Then from their Chris f folloewd and became the base
 Then from their Chris  folloewd and became the base guitarest
The band said they love playing live. They said they have a mixed experience when they play and Tom said it’s different for me and Mark because we have played in gigs and things before were as it’s harder for the other two because they haven’t really done as many!
 The band gets really nervous before they go on but about five minutes before the adrenalin really starts to kick in! The songs differ from their older songs because they have started to create them on the mood they are in.

they are different from other bands. This is because they all have different personalities. The boys play a range of different instruments. Tom is the vocalist in the group and comes up with witch instruments he needs and witch tune it should be played in. Mark is the drummer and plays along to create the beats and all of the loud heavy and exciting music then there’s Chris with the guitar and Jack with the base guitar,
the band explained to me that they all have a huge role to play in the band. “We all put in the effort to become bigger and better”,  Tom makes the lyrics as he is the vocalist and Jack
and Chris decide on the music then they let Mark no which sounds are needed to finish it off. This helps the band become more confident on the music they are making. I also asked the band who has the worst habit they replied ...........“Well Jack by far has the worst habit, when he is playing guitar he always manages to cut his finger on the guitar pick then they all started to laugh.
 the band said that they all try hard and that they do have their days were the cant be

 the band said that they all try hard and that they do have their days were the cant be botherd but when it comes  bothered but then they all pull together and put all their troubles beside them to get focused   out of the groupe we could definitely say that tom and mark are the louder and more competitive ones while jack and Chris take a backseat to the band and just go with the flow of it all
 so after that anticipating Waite I think we could Fairley say this group of boys have come together not just as band members but as good friends and put together a really popular band.

audience research-results and conclusions

what type of band do you prafair?

i askd this question to 20 people i gave them they option of
.a serious band
.happy and smiley band
.unique band
.entertaining band
it turned out that more people picked a uniqe band so this is what i am going to use because i think that people like a diffrense and like listening to strange and diffrent things i think if i do stick to an individual band than more people will buy the magazine.


do you like freebies in your magazine?

i askd this question to 20 people i gave them simple options
.yes
.no

it turned out that alot more people said yes so in my magazine i will give away free gifts , i think giving away free things in the magazine will atract more people because not only would they be getting a good magazine they will also be getting a free gift.



What is your gender?

i also askd this question to twenty people i gave simple choices again by saing
.male
.female

this question proved that feamales are more likley to read my magazine so ill make my magazine more deatailed for women so theynwill read it.


Do you like compertitions?

i askd this question to 20 people this was also very simple to answer
.yes
.no

most people answerd yes so i will use compertitions in the magazine i think if i do this than more people would buy it and more people will get involved in the magazine itselff.


What do you like reading about?

i askd this question to 20 people and i gave them the options of
.gig reviews
.articles
.cds
.festivals

it turnd out that most people voted for gig reviews so in my magazine ill include gig reviews this will get more people to read the magazine and it will also attract people to goto gigs and give more information to the magazine.
