2. Shot 1
This image is rejected as the ‘star’ is
wearing a white shirt suggesting the
innocence of her character. This is not
the characterisation we wished to
display. Also we planned to use a MS
for the front cover, this shot is more of
an MCU.
3. Shot 2
This shot was quite ideal for our
front cover as the shot was the type
we wished to use (MS). Despite this
the character’s facial expression is
quite plain and does not characterise
her in the way we were attempting to
display.
4. Shot 3
The gap between the two characters’ heads
would be completely unconventional if
used on a magazine front cover. This could
be edited although it would be much
easier to simply re-shoot the photo
differently.
5. Shot 4
In this image the character’s
glance is too far
downwards, making it appear as
though the eyes are closed.
Also, this character is the ‘victim’
of the soap opera and so it
would be much more
conventional to use a high-angle
shot to portray vulnerability.
6. Shot 6
This shot effectively displays the
relationship between the two characters
however the mixture of colours in this shot
(white, black, grey and blue) would make it
difficult when adding content such as cover
lines or buttons to the magazine front cover.
This shot is an MCU Two-shot, an MS or an
MLS would have been mush more
conventional.
