Selection and rejection from photo shoot 1.

1. SELECTION AND
REJECTION
From photo shoot 1.

2. SELECTION LIST FOR FRONT COVER
These are part of my selection list because
the lighting on all 3 are good. These would
be suitable for my front cover because in
all images, all 4 boys look suitable and well
posed for a cover shot. In all images I
would need to replace the background
and brighten their faces. Although the
background would be plain white it would
contrast well with the black clothing which
I asked them to wear.
In the two images which I took where the
boys looked casual, they still look happy
which means that it is suitable.
In conclusion, you will see that some other
images I took for my front cover are not
suitable because of facial expressions, blur
and lighting issues.

3. REJECTION LIST FOR FRONT COVER
These two images were the only two images which made it to my
final ideas and therefore my rejection list. The other images I took
for my front cover were all unsuitable (apart from those on my
Selection list) because of bad lighting and wrong camera settings.
You can see these on my Slidely that I made of all the images from
the shoot.
The top image, in my opinion, is unsuitable because one member
of the band is looking away which isn’t a good portrayal of a new
band as all members would need to be facing the camera and
looking professional.
The second image (bottom) is unsuitable because one member is
yawning which is also a bad image for a new band to be
recognised by. In addition, it implies that he is bored – which is
definitely the wrong portrayal for a new band. Also, another
member is looking down which suggests that he is unprofessional.

4. REJECTION LIST FOR DPS/CONTENTS These images I took were either
for my Contents page or my DPS.
These images are part of my
rejection list because the lighting
isn’t suitable for the DPS or
contents. Also, the positioning of
the boys isn’t good because the
models are not looking into the
camera which breaks too many
conventions to be suitable for
my media product.

5. The other images that can be found on my
slidely were not suitable at all because the
lighting, positioning of models, pose, facial
expressions and their eyes were not acceptable
to be used in my media product, at all. This
means that the images would break too many
conventions so that certain institutions (in this
case IPC Media) would not want to invest my
magazine. In addition, the images do not
making the models look like a stereotypical
musician although “Stereotypes are not simple”.
These images can be found on my blog.
