I have chosen the photography for my secondary artists very carefully, as I believe that each photograph captures the style I am aiming to create for each of them.
The top artist appears to be quite confident and cool, as she is making direct eye contact with the reader which shows that she is not afraid to make a personal connection, whilst her hand is on her hip which is a stance often associated with those who are fearless.
The second photograph shows my two artists laughing together, which conveys the happy and positive tone of the pop genre, whilst showing the unity between these two artists.
The bottom three photographs also conform to the conventions of the pop genre, as the three artists all appear to be dressed fashionably and according to modern trends which many pop stars are.

organisation- secondary artist names
Here in this blog i will be talking about the names of my secondary artists.
Finn- Shawn Bee
Abi- Lola lay
Benita and Abi- Kaylie Ivy and Louise Barlow- known as the 'Memory'
James- Zac Hawks
Jono- Peter Mize
These names have been chosen carefully because i wanted the right image of look to come out, i didn't want to give the secondary artists names which sounded similar to indi pop or indi rock names. have come up with these names on my own therefore they are not existing celebrity names. i have given these names to particular secondary artists because with their profile for each star it will represent who they are and the attitude they give. i will be using these artists names fromm now on and will be referring back to them every time i mention them.

organisation- photography
Here is the photo shoot of my secondary artists.
out of these images i will be choosing only a few out of the many for my magazine double page spread and contents page. I gave my secondary artists a specific style so that they looked as if they were in the pop industry. i received feedback on a previous post from peers in class explaining that my style looked more indi than pop therefore i chose more specific clothing for certain individuals to wear> http://snoweasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/drafting-and-planning-first-draft.html here was my first draft and the fed back i received was based on this particular look. i am going to refer back to a previous post which i said i would as i planned to show that i planed this photo shoot.http://snoweasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/organisation-secondary-photo-shoot.html. although in the next blog post after this above i talked about the attitude i wanted my secondary artists to give ie angry, happy, emotional ect. http://snoweasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/organisation_24.html
i aksed my friend Jono to wear a jacket with a scarf with ear phones. i asked him to do this because it looked like a song writer and a professional singer. i used the prop of mise-en-scene (earphones) to show the target audience that they can also look and have items in which the starts have also, this allows the prop to be a huge tool because alot of fans may want to buy an exact pair and look like him. I wanted this look because he looks smart but also gives off a swagger which i wanted to portray because i wanted him to be the cool kid which a lot of young teens and kids look up to. i gave him this look because not only will this promote pop music it will inspire and want kids to do well, dress like him and be like him. i asked Jono here to use such facial expressions to suggest he was angry, therefore i asked him to drop his eyebrows and give quite a sinister serious look, i also allowed this look to come across because he looks right into the camera which suggests he wants to connect with his target audience. i also asked him to do a happy photo so that i could have a variety of photographs to choose from. i asked Jono to look into the distance and smile, this allowed his look to imply he was happy about something which he has accomplished or has done recently, i asked him to look into the distance which allowed us to think he is keeping it a secret. I also asked Jono to look straight into the camera and smile which allows us to think he is really happy which is what a lot of pop artists look like. this also allows Jono to create a relationship between himself and the audience.
My friend James was the next secondary artist in which i asked to star in my magazine. i gave him a specific look which was just a polo shirt, i didn't want to put a lot of cloths on this star because i believe it wasn't need and wasn't necessary, i wanted him to stand out not only because of his blue polo but i knew his hair would stand out and allow him to make a statement. i asked him to have his hair in different styles; i asked him first to have it down and messy which i believe was such a awesome look as it gave off such a attitude look that he looked like Justin Bieber, this is what i wanted to portray as i have looked into him in the past on my blog. i wanted him to use different facial expressions such as happy smiling and serious pout face. i wanted these two facial expressions because i wanted him to be different but also similar to pop artists of today. i asked James in the second photography to wear a jacket chosen out because i thought it would give him a different vibe and look, i believe my self that he looks very different compared to him in the blue polo; he looks as if he has more of an attitude that he doesn't care, with this when i make my secondary artist profiles i could relate to this and say that he is a moody artist and he has a bit of an attitude problem.
My next secondary artist is Abi, i have given her a specific look and style in which a lot of female artists look like today, examples of similar artists today are Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift. i asked her to wear this specific out fit because i wanted her wear a skirt with a black top as i believe she looks as if she would light up an audience with her songs and really get them on their feet, she gives off a vibe in this photo shoot that she is very sassy, i wanted her to look like this because i told her to pout and look right into the camera, this will allow me to write about her deeply in her profile as i can say that she has had a bad time and has changed her habits and seems to be a completely different person. i asked her to use elements of her body to also suggest she was sassy with the photographer by asking her to put her hands on her hips as this suggests she was fed up and wanted it to be over which implies she could potentially be a rude artist or just going through a rough time. i wanted her to look like one of the members of Fith Harmony.
My next secondary artist i will be talking about is my friends Benita and Abi these two stars are a double act. i have asked them both to wear specific clothing to look as if they look like a pair. these two female artists look as if they very very fun and would bring a crowd to their feet, they also look like everyone loves them as they just give off such a positive happy cheerful vibe. i asked them both to look extremely happy as if they both heard the best joke ever. this allowed them to look extremely happy therefore they are my happy artists. i asked these two artists to become very close because i wanted to show the audience how close people get in the music business. i really like the second photo because it hows how close they are as artists and that it isn't all serious they are also normal people like me and you.
The final secondary artist in which i took my photography of was my friend Finn.He is wearing specific clothing in which i asked him to wear. I wanted him to wear a white t shirt with a green jacket on and so this I presented in this photography. i asked my friend Finn here to pull different facial expressions. My secondary star here is the most happy out of the secondary artists because i planned to make him seem cheerful and extremely happy because this is what pop music and artists are themed on as they mostly always seem happy with everything. therefore i asked Finn to smile with teeth and look straight into the camera, this also creates a relationship with the secondary star and the target audience as he tries to show his happy story through his smile and facial expressions. i will be using a mixture of these images for my contents and double page spread as the photography i believe is the best quality and photography which suits the genre of the magazine will be chosen.

organisation- re draft of final contents
here i have re created my contents page. my first draft of my contents page was not up to my expectations and standard therefore i decided to re create a contents page. in my last contents page i believe it wasn't professional or suitable for the genre of pop, whereas this new contents page is more appropriate for the genre of pop and it is more suitable for the target audience. the images of the manikins will be replaced with my secondary artists so that the magazine contents page looks realistic and appropriate. The random text in this contents page is going to be replaced by page number and the latest gossip preview this will allow the reader to see what gossip and information they are looking for and the page at which it is located. i have chosen the words Contents is in yellow for the reason i wanted my contents page to be colorful and vibrant, i wanted this because this is what i believe pop music is linked to as they are not a dark and heavy metal industry.
