PRODUCTION issue 2 Friends Photoshoot

I wanted to redo one of the more iconic photos from friends and one immediately came to mind







My biggest challenge was sourcing all the umbrellas, not many people have a plain bright yellow umbrella! The models that I chose were brilliant and very patient when finding the perfect position for all the umbreallas and I am very happy with how they turned out.

DEVELOPING Second Issue ideas

Issue two

My first issue was based on a singular teenage girl and was solely focused on her so for my second issue I wanted to have a large contrast to this.
I thought it would be a good idea to do a group of people with mixed genders as I hadn't had any males on the first front cover.

As my magazine is a Film&TV magazine, my second issue was going to be focused on a television program, as the other issue was based on a new film coming out.

Upon doing research on the target demographic, I found out that the TV show 'Friends' was becoming more and more popular by the week and young adults were referring it as 'one of the most iconic sitcoms of the century' This is because of its introduction onto the streaming platform Netflix. This makes Friends highly accessible and has been the talk around 16-24, especially those who were born in the mid-late 90's and early 2000's as this would have been after their time.

Furthermore, Friends has been in the news a lot recently due to their 25th anniversary meaning that everyone will have heard of it.

PRODUCTION Photoshoot - Issue 1

Choosing My Model

I chose someone who I knew would be confident infant of the camera, Ellie has a strong drama based background so isn't afraid to be infant of a crowd. Furthermore, when I decided on creating an 80's themed project, she immediately came to mind as her clothing aesthetic is 70's and 80's vibe.

Choosing the setting
In Order to get a 'fun loving' yet natural feel to the photo I thought about the places that I would go as a teenager and chalk well beach is only a short walk from my house so I figured that it would be the perfect place to do it.

RESEARCH into songs to use

Song 1

Ariana Grande's 'Thank you, next' This song has over 390 million views and is full of intertextuality that the average teenage girl would understand. including legally blonde, mean girls and many more
This anchored the demographic that is arians fanbase, which largely consists of girls aged 15-21 but on a very large scale. Her songs have had many number 1's over the last few years with the gap between her number 1 song sweeter and thank you next being just 22 days! This means that her name is iconic in the music industry and has gained a lot of popularity within society. Therefore, I think that in my video the actor should listen to this song to anchor the idea of a up-to-date girl who is heavily involved within society's social media.

Song 2

Another song that would reflect the demographic, as well as fit into the characterisation of the actors is to use a one direction song. They were one of the most well known boy bands, especially with the teenage demographic and had one of the biggest online followings, which links to the current millennial generation that I want to portray.
