My magazine cover photos

 The second image i took is okay but to central for the front cover of my school magazine i could edit this photo by cropping the right side of this image and removing the background to the left which will leave space to fit text.







This was the first photo i took using rule of thirds i think this photo would be suitable for my school magazine front cover if i can crop the image slightly and remove the background using photo shop.

 This image could be improved by cropping the image on the left side and removing and cropping the right side of the image.

 I think this image does not allow enough space to fit text into for a the main image of a front cover so i will not be using this image.

I think this picture is to similar to the last image and is not suitable for a main image of a front cover.

 I do not think this image is good enough for a main image as theres to much space and the prop is the wrong way around which would reflect badly on the school.

I think this image has potential to be a good main image for the front cover of a magazine if it is edited. I also think this has potential to be a good cover photo.

Mise en scene

Location - I have chosen outside our sixth form building as the location for my shot as this clearly resembles the Oldershaw academy.

Actors - I have chosen Jordan to be my single actor as the shot I have decided to take infers that we have musical talent. Jordan shows this as he can play a musical instrument. Jordan will be dressed smart to infer that our academy is elegant.

Camera Shot – The shot I have decided to use is a low angled medium close up as this shows power which resembles our school as powerful.

Costumes – The costume Jordan will be wearing smart business wear.

 Props – The prop I have decided to use in the shot is a guitar as this infers that our academy is musically talented.

Narrative – The story I am inferring through this picture is that the school is musically talented and smart also that the students are happy to attend.
