Actor / Location / Costume (Photo Analysis)

Actors
The actors I will use for my music magazine will be Taylor. The reason for this is because he fits some of the characteristics a rapper may have and what he wears also helps him fit what I would like within my magazine. Having someone like him, associated with my magazine will help for the sales of the magazine as customers will tell the magazine is realistic and worth spending money on. If it was someone who no one could relate rap to, sales wouldn't be good and people would think the magazine isn't serious. Therefore they wouldn't buy the product.

Location
The main location I will be setting my pictures will be in the school. However they won't be obvious, showing many school related scenes as this would not fit the rapper lifestyle and would not work well on a magazine as not many people will buy a rap magazine with a picture located in a classroom. The photos will be discrete and in shady, more urban areas of the school to help link in with rap stereotypes. The reason behind having it in a school is because my DPS will be based around him and within that I mention his age which is 16 and at 16 years old he is still in school which is where a lot of his time will be spent. Therefore this location links in with his life and background as this is still a big part of his life, so it is a suitable background for the actor.

Costume
The costumes that will be used for the photos are going to be rather casual. This is because this breaks the stereotypes of what clothing is commonly associated with big rappers. They would usually wear expensive clothing and accessories as they are rich and will have the disposable income to do so due to their success. But because he is wearing casual clothing, it isn't the norm for rappers, this shows that being successful doesn't mean that they have to be any different to normal society and show off. Due to his age 16, the causal clothes will represent his age, as 16 year olds aren't known for wearing expensive and flashy stuff such as suits, gold chains and jewellery as a lot of well known adult rappers do and usually wear casual clothes such as jeans and a t-shirt.
