Risk assessment

In preparation for my photo shoot I have made a risk assessment for my models and myself in case of the worst possible scenario  - 'plan for the worst, hope for the best'.

Hazard	Risk	Controlling the risk
Sunlight	Getting in the model(s) eyes/my eyes. Could therefore make the model(s) uncomfortable and/or produce an unflattering photo.	Either move areas, change angle so the light is not in either person(s) eyes, or wait until the sun has moved.
Additional lighting used	With the additional lighting this may be too over powering for the model to handle.	Direct the light away from the models eyes or decrease the brightness then edit it on photo shop.
Objects/props used	Could cause anyone to trip.	Make sure the area where models are posing is clear and the same with the camera angle areas. Have designated areas for extra equipment or props to be either between shoots or when not in use.
Cigarette	Burns models or anyone else if careless.	Light the cigarette in a safe environment, and make sure the models do not have any hairspray in their hair or any extremely flammable clothing.

Audience survey questionaire

I used the website www.surveymonkey.com to create a 3 question survey that is widely available, after a week of it being public I have 13 responses, and these images show my findings. 

I plan to base my initial draft of my magazine cover,contents and double page spread on the colour scheme and colours agreed by the audience opinions shown. 

I will no doubt re-upload an updated version of this questionnaire once I have had a larger amount of people reply so I can get a better audience view as to what would appeal to them in a magazine and what they would spend money on as these are my target audience and if they don't like it they wont but it and that would therefore mean my magazine creation would be unsuccessful

Audience profile

Samii - Aged 18

Samii is generally happy, enjoys a good head banging session to the sounds of heavy metal. Some of her favourite bands include Sleeping with Sirens, Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Of Mice and Men and Suicide Silence. She shops at quirky places such as Blue Banana and The Real McCoy and adores the large men's shirts cut to size with a leather jacket and Doc Martins look.

Her iPod is full with different types of music however 80% is heavy, loud, bass-y, scream, death core music. Her perfect sort of magazine would include all her favourite bands, and lead singers would be ideal along the lines of a heavy core/death core genre. This would then allow her obsession of Kellin Quinn to continue. (Lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens)

Andy Biersack for you Ladies and Gentlemen .. No need to thank me.
