Possible locations for my front cover

As my music genre is Indie I wanted to have an organic feel this is because you mainly see stereotypical Indie lovers at music festivals which you could connote with freedom. Also my theme for my music magazine is vintage so once I have chosen my image I will edit it to make it look retro with either black or white or sepia effects. I thought that I will try to shoot the images outside as when I think of organic  However as it is winter it will be quite cold and the weather is unreliable which will make it difficult to make a specific timetable. I have chosen a little village called Weekley which is only 1 mile from my house to take the pictures, I regularly go here for dog walks and I know that the surroundings will look good on my front cover.
This image shows that although Weekley is a little village it is easy to access. These photos allow you to see the village and some places that I would like to take my image. However I have to think of the time of day I will take it and the weather conditions.




Risk assessment
I will have to be aware of anything that will dangerous whilst I take the pictures, also how I will use the equipment safely, this is called a risk assessment.
As I haven't looked at the exact place that I want to shoot for my pictures, I will quickly go to the village before I make my timetable of the day which I will take the photographs. However 

because the weather is unpredictable I might change the location in Weekley as it might look better somewhere else for example if it is snowing then the trees will look prettier than a small section of land. If it is raining then I might have to shoot indoors as it could damage  the equipment. My camera will not need any wires so I will not have to think if they will  

be in the way for someone to trip over them or if it rains then they will not get damaged. I will have to think of the temperature and dress the person who I will be taking the photo of in correct clothes that it will not overheat them or make them freezing cold. I will be using a tripod to make my pictures look professional therefore I will have to think  about the conditions that I 
use the tripod in, for example if the floor is muddy then I will have to put something on the ground before I place the tripod as I will be borrowing it from the school. 
Also I will have to think about the time of day in which I want to take my pictures as I will have to set my camera to a specific setting so I can get the best possible photo. As I will be 

taking the image in winter I will have to think about the dark mornings and nights, however I really like the sky before it gets dark as I think it make it a bit mysterious. So when it comes to edit my photo it will look as though it has been taken in winter which is the season when the magazine will be published.
