Third analyses of line photos

1. ‘Line photo’ Analyses
Firstly, I experimented with lines in my photos. Doing
this catches the reader's eye and creates a visual
path in which the reader can follow. This focuses
their attention onto the object at the end of the line.
In doing so, I realised that this approach wouldn't fit
the theme of my magazine because it would have
looked too structured for a college magazine.

2. In the two photos above I decided to focus the camera on the background and not
the banister in the foreground as I feel that the model(s) at the bottom are the
main point of the image this way and all attention is on them. These also have a
very relaxed feel to them and would fit my magazine genre of a college magazine
because of the location clearly being a school environment.

3. I think that the photo above is very effective due to the low angled shot used. It
shows the model to be unaware of both the camera and the line she is stood
upon which gives a sense of everyday life again as situations such as this are
usually un-staged in an environment alike this school.

4. I don't think the photo above works at all because the camera isn't focused on the line
which caused it to not be as evident to the viewer. The model also looks un-sharp, as if
the shot has been taken with no precision whatsoever and that is not the vibe a sixth
form college magazine should have to it. The lack of focus also defeats the object of the
line being in place as it doesn't achieve the goal which is to allow the viewer's eyes to
follow it.

5. The final photo from my 'line-shoot' is above. I think that using the path as a natural
line was very effective in the location I chose because the grey path is in deep
contrast to the greenery surrounding. This forces the path to stand out which
means that the viewer's eye would be directly drawn to it instantly.
