Main Task: Planning- Location, Props and Costume.

The main image needs to reflect the genre of the magazine well in order to make it appeal to my target audience. The costume used in the image will reflect the 'careless' appearance, I have mentioned to my models about this and we agreed that they would wear their own clothes as they both wear suitable clothing for this genre. As long as the models wear similar to what is shown in the initial images of them, it will not be an issue as I would like to focus more on the props. 
I want my image to show a fun, quirky nature without making it too mainstream. In order to do this I need to choose props that are out of the ordinary, for instance, the 'bear head' featured in my props planning. However, as this may be difficult to get hold of, I could get the same effect with quirky features such as bear ears, or a drawn on moustache. I think it might also look good to place similar props on the elgar statue, such as a hat or a scarf, as long as this does not cause offence, and there is no permanent damage to the statue.  

The locations I have chosen for my images are the Elgar Statue in Worcester and the Media photography room in my college.
