A collection of images I have captured for my AS Media work; images I may incorporate into my music magazine.

1. COLLECTION OF
MY IMAGES

2. Here are all of the images I took, all of which are
for my contents page. As aforementioned in my
planning, I aimed to experiment with different
shots and angles, so as to capture the best images
possible.
CONTENTS
PAGE

3. This is the selection of images I think
are the most effective, which I have
already begun to manipulate, as they
will probably be placed in my
magazine. The next few sides will
include descriptions on how I have
manipulated some of these images,
with explanations as to why I have
done so in that way.

4. These are some
of the images
that did not come
out as effectively
as the others; i.e.
they are out of
focus.

5. DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD

7. These are the images that I may potentially use for my
double page spread because they really capture the
message I am trying to convey: my upcoming artist is a
hardworking, dedicated individual, who is very passionate
about their music. At the same time, he is very laid back,
hence he is casually sitting down, working on his music. It
also represents the indie rock music fairly well with his
laid-back approach to life, which can be seen through his
relaxed approach towards the camera to make him
appear friendly and inviting. The images that I have edited
initially using iPiccy are using a black and white filter to
look slightly retro and stripped back which adds for an
atmospheric effect.

8. These are the images which did not come out so
well. The bottom 3 images, in particular, came
out too dark which means that you can’t see the
subject of my image, Josh, very well. Also, the
other images were either blurry, slightly out of
focus, or simply did not fit the message very
well.

9. FRONT COVER

15. With this image, I have the idea to
use it as an album cover – which is
fitting given that I aim to include a
‘FREE CD’ in my magazine.
These images would potentially be used for my main front cover image. I particularly like the long shot, because this fits well with my drafts for my front cover. My focus was to capture a
long shot or medium shot, which means I could then work the headlines, sub headlines and other features around this image, which will be the centre of visual interest.

17. These images could potentially be used for my double page spread as well, as a whole image
covering an entire page. This fits well with one of my plans for my double page spread, and
especially with these props, particularly with the microphone and the last image with the guitar
and the chair, I can create an interesting story around these images. That said, I believe I will still
stick to using the wide shot, with Josh in the recording studio, as it truly emphasises my message
of Josh being a hardworking upcoming artist. The recording studio is also a professional location
to capture for a professional looking product.

18. I dislike these photos because they are too out of focus, and Josh isn’t
looking in the camera for some of them. I prefer having Josh looking into
the camera, especially for my front cover image, so then, through eye
contact, the story can really engage with and captivate the customers.
