Shoot Analysis (Selected Pictures)

I'm now left with good pictures I would be comfortable using for my magazine. However, I have to be selective and pick the ones which would best match the themes and colour palette of my magazine. 

Here are the ones I've considered using.


This picture has a great figure to shadow ratio as I wanted and is a mid long shot according to my planning. I feel this amongst other shots may be able to portray the narrative I'm trying to tell. 


I really like this picture. Appropriate codes such as the mic is present. The model looks serious and striking and the red flare only works to increases the dramaticness of the picture. I might use this as a secondary image if it blends well with the theme. 


I really liked the lighting and framing of this picture. I plan to use it as my anchoring image. It will meld in perfectly with the black background of the double spread. 


I'm considering using this picture in my page of contents since it's radiant and definitively different from the dark palette and theme of the cover, presenting a pleasant contrast.


The picture is a good candidate for a secondary image as it's different from the primary setting, the stage, giving it a more informal look. The picture maintains her chic look while also adopting a more casual appearance. 



This too, would make a great secondary image, the purple glare will contrast well with the rainbow in the background of the double spread.

"The Beginning is Always Today" Forlorn, a girl stares out the window, unseeing. This world bores her. So she makes a new one. And then another. And another. And another. And another. That girl is me. Today marks the birth and creation of my blog which's purpose is to keep a record of the progress I've made on my foundation portfolio. Being seventeen and deeply intoxicated with the art of story telling and sharing said stories with the masses through a medium which brings us all together, taking Media Studies in my A levels was a natural choice.  Along with Psychology, Literature in English and History, it evolves my understanding of people and aids me in my aspiration of telling an exciting tale; mine. I look forward to telling you more about my project as it progresses and myself.  Keep reading!
Key Media Concepts "What we learn with pleasure, we never forget." Today's class was an exciting mix of future prospects and facts. We learned about key media concepts through a very interesting mnemonic 'MIGRAIN', which will perhaps later act as a Freudian slip!  What are key media concepts you may ask. They're the basic components used by media creators to communicate to their audience and perfectly project their thoughts within their art or more technically known as their media product.  M   edia forms and language I     nstitutions G  enre R   epresentation A  udience I   deaology N  arrative Media forms and language, to put it simply, are the way of doing things when it comes to the makings of an media product, print or otherwise. Media forms are the various different platforms on which media is produced, for example, film or radio.  Media languages encapsulate media codes and conventions. There are two types of media
Shoot Analysis (Rejected Pictures) There are good and bad pictures in every photo shoot. What's important is filtering out the inappropriate images and out takes so we're left with the good pictures we know we would like to use in our magazine. These are pictures I've decided to exclude. This would have been a good option for the magazine cover except the shadows fell really awkwardly on Emil's (the model) figure, focused more on her throat than her face and even so in the middle of the throat making the light source look confusing. This image is too dark and will probably turn darker with a very sharp contrast after it is gray-scaled. The lack of rim light also makes it confusing as to where the shadows end and the model begins and not in the way I visualised it. Bad shots happen to good people. A case of blinking at an unfortunate time. It was only after the shot had been clicked when I realised the 'Super Biscuits' wrapper on
