Location 1 - Ryde Town
Taking the photo here will be a good idea because the mise en scene of the shops and streetlights in the background will be ideal for a grime magazine because of the 'streets' kind of look is common to the ideology of the grime audience so will create audience identification. In a lot of music videos of grime music, this is a typical setting because it fits with the stereotype of grime that they were raised in rough areas.
This location is ideal because it is also a common location for grime music videos and also follows the stereotype of being raised in rough areas. The mise en scene will be the estate in the background, estates have a common stereotype of looking rough and tatty, which combines well with grime. I am not sure whether or not it will be dark or light when I take this photo, depending on which one I prefer when taking it because they both have positives and negatives.
This location is a good choice because it will be against a white wall, making the model of the photo stand out and attract the audience better. This is not just used in grime but also a lot of other music genres because the simplicity highlights the music artist. If the photo doesn't look as effective when I take it, then I will edit in a white or black background.
The problems that I might have with this is that the locations might look a bit unprofessional when I actually do my magazine, as I have looked at some examples and a lot of them don't have a location in the background and if I do use a location then I will use photoshop to colour correct the background and adjust the brightness and contrast. This is to prevent my magazine looking like this example of when another media student has used a location as the background and in my opinion this makes it look really fake.
