Rachel Black AS Media Foundation Portfolio: Photograph Choices

From looking through other music magazine for my research, I have found that to keep to the media conventions I needed to have a close up or medium close up for my front cover, a long-shot for my contents page and double page spread.

For the image for my font page, I took many images and from that selection I decided to choose this image:

This is how it looked after I had Photoshopped it:

These are just a small collection of the photographs I took at the photo shoot that I liked but didn't decide to use because it wasn't the right shot (long shot), it was out of focus, it had reflection in her glasses, it wasn't from the right angle (low angle), it didn't have the right light in the image, her hair didn't look tidy, or her costume didn't look right.

For my main image for my contents page, I took many images and from that selection I decided to choose this image:

This is how it looked after I Photoshopped it:

These are just a small collection of the photographs I took at the photo shoot that I liked but didn't decide to use because the camera I used made the photographs come out too blurry, so I decided to use a better camera to get a better quality of images, so that it looked more professional. I also didn't use these images because they looked too similar to my other images that I was using for my front cover/double page spread as she was in the same position etc. I also didn't use them because the lighting wasn't very good on the images. I also didn't use some of the images because the colours of the costumes/outfits that she was wearing didn't go with my colour palette. Another reason why I didn't choose these images was because some of them didn't match up with the media conventions in that they weren't the correct shot of my model.

These are just a small collection of the photographs I took at the photo shoot that I liked but didn't use because they didn't go with my idea either because; my model wasn't using the correct expression to give the right connotation for my article, it didn't have good picture quality, she wasn't in the correct position, the pose looked artificial/forced, she wasn't fully in the shot or that it wasn't the correct shot (close-up etc).
