Why I Wouldn’t Chose These Photos for my

Front Cover

First: Not Chosen ImageThis image isn’t really suitable for a school magazine as it doesn’t show any school aspects and doesn’t in reality link in with the aspect that school is fun. The reflection on the image doesn’t show proficiency which is a key skill I need to have in order to have a good grade in my AS media studies grade.

The reflection on the glass is reflecting the school. This was a mistake as it was meant to show a plain glass with nothing reflection on it. We could Photoshop this but it still wouldn’t come out 100% clear. So when taking the photo next time we need to bear in mind that we need to get a good angle in order to get just the main objects in the image that is needed.

While taking the photo I have not bared in mind that we were meant to use 3 by 3 grid this is when there has to be a gap between the image example:

There has to be a gap between the person and the side. This is so that we can put the sub headings and the little images that summarise on page at a time in our magazine.

Second: Not Chosen Image

This image will not be suitable for a school magazine as it doesn’t really show the main purpose of the theme of the school magazine. Our school magazine is themed at the fun side to school. This doesn’t really give or make stand out the purpose of it. Also the picture isn’t taken from a right angle as the head of the person is taking up more than a quarter of the image.

When taking a picture we will next time take into account the fact that we need to crop or move to the side the background objects that can be seen in the photo. For example in the image you can see a white board and a white sheet where the light reflects on it in order to have images reflected on it. this is inefficient as the photos have to be taken professionally.

Third: Not Chosen Image

Here the image is not professional like image. The reason for this is because the book page is covering half of my peers face. The whole purpose of the image is so that we can see the educational and fun side to the school.

The camera angle of this shot is low. The camera is being taken from a high angle. This means that the ‘camera man’ needed to take the image kneeling in order to get the whole camera shot.The lighting of this image is dark. The

lighting is mainly focused on the book compared to the faces of the people in the image.
