Best Selection Double Page

My first pic i have chosen because it follows the rules of a good double page image as there is still enough room for text. The image follows the l shape rule allowing text to be clear and the image to no cut across the text.

The next pic is similar to the previous picture and follows the same principle this also allows the image good space for clear text.

The next picture is effective as there is also enough room for text but though there is room the image does not cross over the page although the image will still be effective. I like the image but feel that the space for text is to plain even if the background is left in.

The final image is similar to the previous image but the main focus is situated on the opposite side. The image allows enough space to fit text in but unlike the previous picture. I think the background makes the shot more appealing and would be more interesting than the previous picture as a double page spread.

Best Selection Contents Page

The first picture for my contents page follows the conventions of a contents page as it leaves space for text and the picture can also be cropped to fit into a single page.

Best Selection Front Cover

Photo shoot

Today the photo shoot took place I have obtained numerous shots for the front cover, double page spread and contents page. The photo shoot went as planned taking place in an entry and on a field. I have followed the codes and conventions of a heavy metal music magazine with the use of the actors poses showing attitude and power this is useful  as it attracts the audience.

Props and Costumes arrangement

Today the group met up to discus the props and costumes we need to take the photos we decided a leather jacket or jean jacket with a band shirt, jeans and some form of boot would be appropriate for the genre of magazine we are creating. We also decided the props we have chosen yo use a johnny brooks standard guitar with a Gibson les paul studio.

Location

Today me and my actor jordan scouted out locations for our photo shoot. We found three places suitable one being in an entry as this location suits the chosen genre another being a field close to school as this allows me to to easily crop the background out and finally by a large rock which is situated in a field the reason for this is i think the rough edges of the rock would make a good background for my magazine front cover.

 

Planning the photoshoot

Our group came together to discuss when the photo shoot we have planned will take place. we decided thursday the 14th of january would be a suitable day as i have a nose operation the week before that has delayed the photo shoot. Thursday the 14th of january is most suitable day due to all members of our group being free for the full day.  

We have arranged all of the costumes and props for this date so that we are ready to take the shots to a good standard. we also come to a conclusion that the location for our shots will take place in an entry and on a wall by a field because the location is rough which relates to the genre of music magazine I have chosen to create.
