For my media work preliminary task I have taken a series of photos which I have put thought into taking for my magazine. I developed two shot ideas and then began to think of some different surroundings and purpose to present this idea well for my magazine cover.
The first set of photos I took for the magazine is for the header "New English Curriculum is Set for the Stars"
The first shot seen to the right is the exact image I had pictured in my head, and has gone down a treat I think for the cover idea.
It shows, using props, the headline and the location and also involves a smart outlook and presentation for the school. With an obvious connotation to teacher and student relationship.
Personally out of the two, though this second shot may not seem different, both the people in the shot are presenting smiles and the work is more present in the shot, so A) This presents a good and happy outlook for the school and B) shows that the people are happy with the new curriculum and it has been 'made' by the school...
also there is less room in the background for things that will distract (in the first photo there was alot of ledge and wall) and the only things on show are related to the headline topic, therefore fitting with the shot.
In my next post, you will see the second set of photos which will include my headline photo which I have chose for my front cover -
Thanks for reading.
