- 2. + The location for the photo shoot was within the school dance studio, where we were able to set up a green screen with the appropriate lighting. I think this set-up worked in my favor because I was then able to manipulate the background of the images easily. However, at times in certain images the light was a bad addition because it would increase the amount of shadow in the pictures.
- 3. + I chose this image for my front cover as I feel it is a sexy, provocative image that will draw the attention of my target audience. It is a mid-shot on a slight angle, the model is looking directly into the camera. I chose this outfit for the model because the tight black pants and leather jacket suggest the model has a bad side to her, but then the sparkly bra contrasts this and brings out her glamorous, flirty side! The models hair is drawn back into a tight ponytail, so that no focus is taken away from her face. She is also wearing very minimal make up.
- 4. + This was the first image I chose for my contents page, it is of my main model and goes well with my cover shot. The image is another mid-shot and it is taken on a slightly low angle. The model is again looking directly into the camera, I like this because it helps to engage with the reader and prompts them to read on. The model is giving a cheeky smile with her finger on her lips, suggesting she is making a ‘hush’ sound because she has a secret to keep, this suggests to the reader if you read the article you will find these secrets out. The model is wearing the same outfit throughout the magazine, I think this is an advantage because it helps the reader to recognise her straight away if she is who they want to read about. On the other hand it could be a disadvantage because people may like to see her in different outfits and there is not much variety.
- 5. +This is one of the more insignificant images used on my contents page. This image was taking in a different environment to the rest of my images, that’s why the quality is lower. It is still a high level image but the lighting is just darker and more natural than the artificial lighting used in my other shots. Even though the model is sitting down this shot is a full body shot taken at a mid-angle, sticking with the ongoing trend through out my magazine, the model is staring directly in to the camera, making reading my magazine more personal for the reader. The pose he is in makes him look relaxed and approachable. The model is wearing black jeans and a graphic t-shirt, which portrays to the reader the image of a ‘skater boy’. Also the graphic t-shirt ties in with the feel of my magazine, symbolising that my product is hip and trendy.
- 6. + This was the final image I added to my contents page and again this wasn’t taken in the same environment as my other images, because it is a different model. This is a full body shot, his eye level is in the top third of the image so his eye-level matches the reader’s eye- level. His body posture which is quite relaxed contrasts with his facial expression which is assertive and serious, which gives the reader the impression he is confident. The model’s attire corresponds with the other outfit’s in the magazine, he is wearing all black which connotes bad, dark and highlights that the model is a ‘bad boy’. His denim shirt also helps to make him look current and stylish.
- 7. + It took me a while to decide which image to use on my double page spread, I had took so many good ones and it was hard to decide. Initially I was planning to use more than one image on my double page spread, while there are numerous magazines that do this I did not think it looked professional enough and looked slightly unorganised. On this image the model is leaning against a wall, similarly to my other images she is staring directly in to the camera however this time she is looking over her shoulder in to the camera. Even though she is wearing the same outfit it looks completely different because the jacket has been removed which makes the image look much more seductive. Her facial expression portrays her as timid but yet sexy and passionate, her hair being loose also adds to the sex appeal her hair on this picture looks more untamed giving the impression she has become more wild.
