My Pitch

 I have chosen to create two real life story front covers for a magazine

1st idea:

My first idea for a real life story front cover was a 1950's theme. The storyline is "the women who lives everyday like its the 1950's. Initially I thought of this idea due to living near a diner which I have always thought was very aesthetically pleasing. I thought this would be a perfect setting for the pictures as the diner perfectly encapsulates the 1950's. However one problem with this would be that it may be difficult to get pictures in there and I would most likely have to speak to the staff before hand. If I am unable to get fulfilling photos from the diner I will use other setting most likely the beach or a simply plain background. The reason why I chose this idea was because I wanted to dive deep into my creative side and explore different costumes and makeup in order to bring a different era alive again. 

These are two potential diners very near to me which would be easily accessible. 

In order to pull of the 1950's aesthetic I have given a lot of thought into how I will produce the front cover. I have chosen my friend Maisie to appear as the star of the front cover as she naturally sprung to mind and has the right look for the piece. As well as this she has resources which will be useful for example her mum owns vintage shop with a collection of dresses ad other props which can be used for the cover. 

Shot type: I will use a mid shot

2nd Idea

My second idea for a front cover came about during pride month and as an ally of the community I thought it would be a good idea to do a front cover for the LGBTQ community in order to spread some positivity. For this idea I was automatically driven to the idea of pushing my makeup abilities in order to create a distinctive and powerful look. I found a lot of pride makeup looks online of which I am going to recreate. I prefer the idea of using a look that was more subtle to have a more dramatic effect. In order for this picture to be effective I am going to use a professional set up with a dark backdrop in order to get the desired images. In order to ensure the makeup look is carried out well I will be practicing it until I am happy with the final outcome. Alternatively I could use a prop instead relating to the LGBTQ+ community which has a similar effect. In terms of the cover lines I want them all to be based around the same topic but not entirely based on LGBTQ for example I would like one headline to be about toxic masculinity

Shot type: I will use a medium close up
