My Moodboard:




Font:
I have change my font to 'American Captain' following the advice of my pitch. This is a less formal font, but still links to the genre. It is simple and would appeal to my target audience as it creates a strong brand image.

This is my Gantt chart ,a Gantt chart is a form of organisation to make sure you stick to a deadline and get everything involved done and completed. This is very important piece of documentation to make sure i get everything competed and up to the best of the ability that i can get it up to.

Legal & Ethical issues:

• Make sure the content is suitable and not offensive- I will make sure that the content in my magazine isn't offence of could be taken in the wrong way at all as I want my customers to be able to recommend my magazine and make my magazine popular in the industry. To make sure all the content is suitable I will proof read over all my work and make sure all the writing makes sense and it would offend anyone in any way.

• Make sure the article isn't copyrighted and their is no plagiarism- I will make sure that the content in my magazine and the title and double page spread hasn't been produced before as i could get my self into serious trouble as copyrighting is a serious offence. I will also make sure I don't plagiarise and if I do copy some quotes and information then I will reference anything that I have put in my magazine that has already been said. To make sure I carry this out properly I will read over my article thoroughly and make sure there is no article like it. I will take all my photos and all the photos i use will be my own photos that i have taken myself. Any images taken from online will be taken from royalty free websites.

• Make sure there is no (libel) which is making false accusations to ruin someone's reputation- I will make sure that anything I say in the magazine will not be offensive and there will be no content that some could take offence to or something that could ruin someone's reputation. I will make sure I don't do this as I will read over and over again over my article and make sure there is no offence to someone.

• Need all permission forms to be filled out ( Location release form, model release form)- I need to make sure that all my forms are filled out so that I am legally allowed to take photos as my location and take photos of my model , if I don't carry theses out then I could get in serious trouble as I haven't been given permission and if I have only been given permission by word of mouth then this is invalid as when it comes to it the person could like and I could be in a really bad situations, so this is why I need to get the permission written down on paper. If I carry this out then to resolve it I need to try and sort it out with the model as I never got permission from them so in hindsight they shouldn't be doing it .

• I also need to make sure that I don't copyright as this could get me into serious trouble as I am copying someone's work with out permission. If this does happen then this could end up giving me a very bad reputation. Additionally if i were to use copyrighted material, i could be taken to court and fined which would impact my revenue streams. To stop  copyrighting I will generate my own original material and find material that hasn't been used before by another magazine. I will ensure that this is properly sourced and paid for.

• Permission form for owner of location to use their location for pictures to be taken.   (I need to get permission before shooting as if i don't then i could be going on private property with out permission which is an offence,i also need to get this in written form as if i just get word of mouth then this isn't good cause they could lie when asked by someone and i won't have any evidence of them allowing me)

• Make sure the model is dressed appropriate for the genre. To resolve this i will research into my target audience and dress my model appropriate to the genre. I will also make sure that my model feels comfortable in the chosen outfit.

• I must not discriminate or include any offensive language/racist comments within my magazine. To resolve this by checking over my magazine multiple times and ensuring that there is nothing that can be deemed offensive.

This is my risk assessment of my production:

This is my risk assestment this ways up the risks throughout my production whether to see if its worth taking the risk. If the risk is too high then i might not be able to take the risk due to the safety of cast and whether it might mess up the production of the product.

Location release form:

This is my location release form, a location release form consists of having and getting permission from someone to use a location that belongs to them, in the production you need this because you could get in serious trouble if you don't get permission and there is no point in getting it in word of mouth as they might lie and say they never said it so its best to get a signature of the owner of the location.

Model release form:

This is my model release form,a model release form is is a legal release typically signed by the subject of a photograph granting permission to publish the photograph in one form or to take the photo.

Location recce
