Task 1aa
- 1. Task 1
- 2. • Brief, purpose, use, media product and target audience • Consider current practice and existing media products. • Review ideas, contingency plans. • Produce a trial layout, where or how the photos will work within the wider context of the media product.
- 3. Brief, purpose, use, media product and target audience The genre for my front cover is going to be Fashion I will be using many images that have been taking from inside a building and also from outside.my front page needs to have a good quality picture to attract more people and the cannon camera takes good quality pictures.my front page will teach people about the new fashion trends my target audience are going to be young adults that are interested in all the new fashion trends.

Review ideas, contingency plans. • I already have a model that I am going to use but if on that day something happens and my model that I have chosen does not turn up I have also asked another person to model for me if for example my first choice of model is ill and cant make it. When taking the pictures I am going to chose the best 4 pictures instead of choosing just one picture just in case the picture doesn’t fit into the background of my page. I will be taking 2 pictures from inside and two pictures from outside.

- 8. location (exterior) assessment (weather, light, positioning, permissions, risk assessment) • I am hoping that on the day it is sunny and there is no rain which will mean there will be good natural lighting for when taking my outside images. • Permission • I will be taking pictures when it is light outside so that I can get all the natural lighting and inside it doesn’t matter if it is dark or light because we will be using the lights • I will be taking pictures when it is not raining outside and when it is sunny if this does not work out them I am going to have to take pictures on a windy day and hope the pictures come out how I want them too. • Permissions; • I will make permission slips for the people who are involved in taking pictures and the model.
- 9. ASA/ISO (American Standards Association/International Standards Organisation), stand for? • The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is the self-regulatory organisation (SRO) of the advertising industry in the United Kingdom. The ASA is a non-statutory organisation and so cannot interpret or enforce legislation. • (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=asa&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=PGI- WZCzA-SEwgLLgIW4Bg&gws_rd=ssl#q=asa+definition&spf=1497260603997) • ISO is defined as the acronym for the International Organization for Standardization, headquartered in Switzerland. • https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=asa&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=PGI- WZCzA-SEwgLLgIW4Bg&gws_rd=ssl#q=+ISO+definition&spf=1497260604000 A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, image scanner, or motion picture film scanner. Raw files are named so because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor. • https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=asa&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=PGI- WZCzA-SEwgLLgIW4Bg&gws_rd=ssl#q=raw+definition+photography&spf=1497260604002 Image resolution is the detail an image holds. The term applies to raster digital images, film images, and other types of images. Higher resolution means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image. Resolution is sometimes identified by the width and height of the image as well as the total number of pixels in the image. For example, an image that is 2048 pixels wide and 1536 pixels high. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=asa&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=PGI-WZCzA- SEwgLLgIW4Bg&gws_rd=ssl#q=image+resolution+definition&spf=1497260604004 • With RAW you can also correct problems with images that you could not recover if you was to shoot it in the JPEG format. • You can get the Highest Level of quality by using RAW. • You can also record greater levels of brightness. • By using RAW you can enjoy non-destructive editing.
- 10. Test shot I decided to take pictures on this background because is suited what my model was wearing and it helped her blend in also because this is for young adults dark colours are more appealing to them because bright colours are usually for children I didn’t use this image because my models posture wasn’t that good and it looked like she was slouching down.
- 11. Test shot I didn’t use this image because the lighting was to much because of the flash on my camera also you couldn’t really see my models face and on my front page I wanted everyone to see my models face.
- 12. Test shot In this picture I had to use different models because of the day my model was not in and the rest of the days it said that it was going to rain the reason why I didn’t use this image was because all my models was squinting their eyes because of the sun so it ruined the way my models looked.
- 13. Test shot I decided to use this background of a field and a block behind my model because it suits what my model is wearing and all of it combined actually looked quite appealing the reason why i didn't use this image was because there was something in front on the camera which ruined the picture also there was people behind in the football pitch which I didn’t think of when planning. Also my models eyes where half shut and she wasn’t ready for the picture.
- 14. availability of resources, e.g. space, time, personnel Things I need; Things I will be needing would be my phone to take the pictures, studio lights and the studio for an hour also, I will need the studio lights to get good quality pictures with good lighting for my inside images. I am going to need my phone which takes good quality pictures of my model also, I will need the studio lights to have good lighting for the model when taking the picture and I will need the studio for only an hour because I will only be taking a few pictures for my front page.
- 15. For final photographs • framing (choices that allow for placement/context in media product) • shutter speed (choices that allow desired effect, e.g. slow speed, high speed) • aperture (choices that allow for desired effect, e.g. correct exposure, under • exposed, over exposed, depth of field, bracketing) • file size (appropriate for publication or media product, e.g. billboard, website).

Research who and what copyright is in the world of photography
- 16. Final shots
- 20. Contact sheet • Adobe bridge • Why you have chosen them • I have chosen these images because they have the best lighting and also nothing is blurred and nothing is in front of the image stopping you from seeing my model also my models posture in just right for my target audience for the front page. You can see all my models features in this particular image and my model stands out. • I have rejected images because they was out focused, also the sun made some of my models close their eyes so it didn’t look right
- 21. Storing print screen of your folder with your images in them/correct file format

- 24. shutter speed • In photography and digital photography the shutter speed is the unit of measurement which determines how long shutter remains open as the picture is taken. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time. The shutter speed and aperture together control the total amount of light reaching the sensor. • https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=focus+meaning+in+photography&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=mMc_WeSk
- 25. aperture focus framing • A large aperture lets in more light to the camera shutter for an exposure, while small aperture has a smaller opening in the lens diaphragm to let in a smaller amount of light for a given exposure. • In my final shot I used a large aperture as you can see in my picture there is a lot of light coming through and lets everyone see all of my models features. • Focus is a basic tenet of photography. It's typically given a definition in photo books, but not fully explained. The standard definitions of focus are: 1) The position at which rays of light from a lens converge to forhttps://www.google.co.uk/search? q=focus+meaning+in+photography&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE- Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=mMc_WeSkOIyE3gPR3anYAg&gws_rd=sslm a clear and sharply defined image on a focal plane. • In my final shot the picture is very much focused of the model and the background but seeming as the background is all dark colours more of the attention is on the model anyway so if I used brighter colours for my background and my background and model was both in focus then no one would be focusing as much on my model then the background. • In visual arts and particularly cinematography, framing is the presentation of visual elements in an image, especially the placement of the subject in relation to other objects. Framing can make an image more aesthetically pleasing and keep the viewer's focus on the framed object(s). • https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=focus+meaning+in+photography&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE- Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=mMc_WeSkOIyE3gPR3anYAg&gws_rd=ssl#q=framing+meaning+in+photography&spf=1497352088870
- 26. use of mise en scène • I used a location which would appeal to my target audience which was a field where many teenagers spend their time and in a restaurant where many teenagers go. • I used dark colours to fit the target audience I have which was young adults who like dark colours • Costume • I have used stylish clothing to appeal to my target audience and I have also used stylish clothing which is also formal which would appeal to young adults this is a good way of making the front page appeal to young adults. • My model is a young female adult I decided to use a young female adult so it could appeal to my target audience which is mainly young adults also it appeals to men because of my model being a female.
- 27. composition • In the visual arts, composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject. ... The term composition means 'putting together' and can apply to any work of art, from music to writing to photography, that is arranged using conscious thought. • https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=focus+meaning+in+photography&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE- Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=mMc_WeSkOIyE3gPR3anYAg&gws_rd=ssl#q=composition+meaning+in+photography&spf=1497352088873 I have placed my model in the middle of the background this is so in the front cover everything goes in together and the tittle is clear at the top.
- 28. lighting, e.g. flash, natural light • . For my interior photographs I used the studio lights because inside there are no natural lights this made my model stand out but it was very subtle lights so that it could look as natural as possible • I used no flash for when taking my exterior pictures because there was already enough natural lighting coming through on to my model so if I was to use my flash it would be to much and the pictures wouldn’t look right and you wouldn’t be able to see all my models face. I used natural lighting instead for my exterior photographs.
- 29. camera support, e.g. tripod. • In photography, a tripod is used to stabilize and elevate a camera, a flash unit, or other photographic equipment. All photographic tripods have three legs and a mounting head to couple with a camera. • https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=focus+meaning+in+photography&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&ie;=&oe;=&gfe_rd=cr&ei=mMc_WeSk • in my photographs I have not used any type of camera support and it was all done hand held. This was because it was easier personally for me and usually in photo shots for big magazines they usually do it hand held with out any camera support.
- 30. Creative intent, e.g. intended response, intended meaning. Of my shot intended o do a fashion shoot to target my audience Production of meaning, e.g. outcome, actual response. Integration into final digital media product (in the context of put the photo onto that front page
- 31. Task 2
- 32. Evaluation camera • For my interior photographs I took many pictures all different types I took some close ups and some mid shots this was so when I was analysing my pictures and trying to pick one picture I had a wider selection and I could choose which one would go best with my target audience and vogue, vogue usually uses mid shots taken by hand with not camera support so I tried to do the same for my photographs also the reason why I chose vogue was because they have the same target audience that I had in mind for also all their pictures are so glamour's and to do with fashion which my genre was about another reason why I took a mid-shot was so that my audience could see my models outfit seeing as my genre was for fashion. For my interior photographs I used the studio lights because inside there are no natural lights this made my model stand out but it was very subtle lights so that it could look as natural as possible. I took my images behind a white screen because that is what shots for magazines usually do so they can then change the background when finished. For my interior photographs I didn’t matter to me what time and date I took my photographs because I was suing the studio lights so depending on the weather it didn’t matter but I did chose to shoot at 11 o’clock in the morning so that I had time to take as many pictures as I needed just in case my model had to be somewhere. I wanted my interior photographs to be very sophisticated but also edgy at the same time based on the fact that my target audience where young adults so my pictures being more sophisticated and edgy would of appealed to my target audience I also chose out what my model wore because even clothing in a photo shot is a big thing because if they are not wearing clothes that appeal to your target audience then it would appeal to your target audience so, I chose to keep the clothing that my model ore again sophisticated and also edgy. I also took images for my interior photographs in different places inside rather than just in the studio room this was because I found a background inside which suited what my model was wearing and made my model look even more edgy. • My interior pictures and exterior pictures I had to change the clothing of my models because what my model wore inside didn’t really suit the scenery I chose for my outside photographs because of this I had to wait till the next day to photograph my exterior photographs but then, my model didn’t turn up because she was un well so it was a good thing for me to have a backup model which was in and which I did then use in my exterior photographs. I placed my model in the middle of the background this is so in the front cover everything goes in together and the tittle is clear at the top. This was for both my interior and exterior photographs. I used a location which would appeal to my target audience which was a field where many teenagers spend their time and in a restaurant where many teenagers go. I used dark colours to fit the target audience I have which was young adults who like dark colours Costume I have used stylish clothing to appeal to my target audience and I have also used stylish clothing which is also formal which would appeal to young adults this is a good way of making the front page appeal to young adults. My model is a young female adult I decided to use a young female adult so it could appeal to my target audience which is mainly young adults also it appeals to men because of my model being a female. • For my exterior photographs I only took a few photographs because I knew that my final image was going to be one from my interior photographs even though I had that mind I still chose to take photos outside this seemed to be more difficult than when I was taking my interior photographs because we had to wait for a day where there was good natural lighting and where the weather was sunny and hot also I has to take my pictures early in the morning when the sun was fully out it was difficult because the sun would come and go because of the month that we was in. for my exterior photographs I took close ups because when I took mid shots I realised that my models uses would always be shut because of the sun so I took close ups so that in my photographs you could see my models eyes and all her features' took my photographs at 9 o’clock in the morning. I wanted my exterior photographs to look as natural as possible that my main aim for my exterior photographs. Also the reason why I didn’t want to really use any of my exterior photographs for my final shot was because in vogue magazines you rarely see a front page with a natural outside background it is usually editing n of behind a colour background. Also I felt like my exterior pictures would appeal to my target audience as much as my interior pictures would of. I used no flash for when taking my exterior pictures because there was already enough natural lighting coming through on to my model so if I was to use my flash it would be too much and the pictures wouldn’t look right and you wouldn’t be able to see all my models face. I did not use any camera support for my exterior photographs and did it all hand held which is most common in photoshoots of models whereas if my finals shot was to be more a bike or something then I would have used camera support. • In my final shot I used a large aperture as you can see in my picture there is a lot of light coming through and lets everyone see all of my models features. In my final shot the picture is very much focused of the model and the background but seeming as the background is all dark colours more of the attention is on the model anyway so if I used brighter colours for my background and my background and model was both in focus then no one would be focusing as much on my model then the background. • Overall my interior pictures came out better and suited my target audience the most which is very important when taking photographs for big o small magazines for articles or anything that has a target audience also the clothing of my model would of appealed more to my target audience when i asked a few people that where young adults they said that my interior photographs appealed more to them then my exterior photographs.
