planning photos for magazine

We are now at the stage of taking our photos for our final magazine. I am planning to take my photo at the Cavern Club in liverpool. I have said to the people i'm using in my photos that I want to be going over there on saturday 24th of November.

The people i'm using are myself, Michael James, Will Jones and Jordan Ronan. The props I want to use are my guitar and Jordan's guitar and also my acoustic guitar for when we take photos in a different location which will be Michaels band room.

Also if possible i'd like to use a microphone but thats not as vital as the guitars. The costume i'm after is the scruffy shirt, tie and jeans rock look like some Dave Grohl's outfits.

The camera angle I want to try and get are worm eye shots for the Cavern and try to make the poses look like the people in the shots are in action at a gig to give the authentic band look. I want to use medium close up shots for the band room shots with acoustic to give the feel of the person being a serious musician and writing music.

I'd like to to use the Cavern photos for my front cover to attract the reader by having a band rocking out in a gig. I want to use the band room photos for the inside of my magazine on my double page spread but I could also use the Cavern photos in there as well. I will possibly take photos over the liverpool skyline just to remind readers that its a liverpool band.

I would possibly like the try and recreate a shot similar to this:










As you can see it is a worm eye shot of a group of serious looking people but i'd like to have a action shot including all the props of my band while keeping the same style shot as this.

This is the medium close up shot i'm going to try and recreate:











The changes i'd want to make to this photo is that the guitarist will be sat down possibly with a sheet of paper writing music but still keep the same distance for the shot.
