Photo-shoot Storyboard

I have needed to plan my photo-shoot, in order to get some ideas of what looks best and what I prefer, so when the time comes to actually take the photos I will be able to use this storyboard.
I will be taking more than six pictures, however I just drew six in order to get a rough idea of what background I like, what type of shot looks best and what props I should use (such as guitars, microphones e.t.c).
Shot 1, 2 and 3 are all shot at a music studio. I feel that a music studio would be a good place to take photos as my music magazine is all about new metal bands, so if they are in a studio then it looks as if they are just starting out as a new band.
Shot 4 is shot outside, possibly next to woods, in order to get a variety of pictures and see if it will look good or not.
Shot 5 and 6 are based on a stage. I also feel that this is a good place for my pictures to be taken because if the character/characters are on a stage then the picture may look a lot more appealing for the audience, and if the room is dark with the stage lights on then it will fit in with the type of music I am doing.

Risk Assessment - Music Studio

A risk assessment is required before photo-shooting, so the area is safe. This will minimalise the risk of injuries. In a music studio there are numerous amps and leads lying around, so these could cause to be a hazard. This is why a risk assessment is needed.

Questionnaire - Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages
One of the advantages with a questionnaire is that it does not take long to make. Whats great is about this is that once it has been finished and dished out to the target audience, it allows me to be getting on with other work, therefore saving time. Another advantage is that most of the questions are mixed answer questions, so the reader can circle answers which i have put on there to make it easier for me to evaluate, and to avoid bias results. This makes producing graphs a lot easier, and again saves time.

Disadvantages
One of the problems with questionnaires are that if some of the target audience are grouped together, then they might all have the same answers as they will confer with each other. This means my results would not be reliable, which would mean I could not use them to help construct my music magazine.

My results will help me to influence my design choices because I can find out what the most popular answers are to my questions. This means I will be able to find out what people prefer, so when I include this in my magazine people will prefer it.
