Photo shoot done- what was achieved? 


After doing my photo shoot as planned I can now upload some of the pics I could use in my magazine and talk about why I think they would be effective.

This is the photo I have decided to use for my front cover. It is a head shot and Amelia is looking into the camera which is what I wanted to achieve because it feels as if she was looking at you, and gives more meaning to my front cover. Although you can't see what she is wearing, the genre is portrayed through her hair and her black leather jacket. She is shown slightly more to the right of this photo because when it comes to creating my magazine all the text will be placed in the left side third which is typical of magazines and is done incase of shelving being horizontal in a shop rather than vertical.

In this picture Amelia is sitting by the window that I described in my photo shoot planning. This photo will be used on my double page spread as the main picture. I like the mise-en-scene because the clouds are dark and moody which reflects the facial expression I was trying to create here. By looking away Amelia looks relaxed and carefree to her problems, which is another image that me be thought of when thinking of rebellion in the rock genre.





The following three pictures are pictures I will be using on the bottom of my double page spread, these images will be alot smaller and will be in black and white because I feel that black and white gives it a more professional look and it will add to my rock genre and the dark colours associated with it. By using a mix up of photos in my double page spread I feel the look of my magazine will be more realistic and the different pictures can portray different images and provoke different emotions in the reader. As these images aren't the main feature of my front cover or double page spread I don't feel it is as important for Amelia to be looking at the camera lense and these photos can be directed to a more stylistic aspect.

I am very happy with the look I have created in the photos and feel that I have achieved what I set out to do in terms of the photos for my print task. .
