The document provides details about photos taken and edited for use in a magazine. It describes taking close-up shots of faces to familiarize readers with subjects and using bright, clear images as main cover photos. Photos were edited to emphasize lipstick color, add glow effects, and lighten hair and faces. Mid-shots were taken to show body language and a smiling pose aims to portray women positively. Photos were cropped, darkened, lightened, and given sepia or black-and-white effects to attract readers' attention and portray subjects in different ways for various sections of the magazine.
1. Photos for My Magazine:
I took this image as a
close-up because I
wanted to familiarise
the audience with the
artist’s face. By also
using a close up image
for the main cover
image it gives a better
quality image as the
image is very clear to
see and this attracts the
readers attention
towards the magazine.
I edited the effects on this photo to emphasise the
lipstick colour which is being used and this brings out a
brighter image. I also lightened the effect of the photo
to give the artist a “glow” effect to the face. This also
brightens the quality of the photo. I also lightened the
colour of the artists face by lightening the photo which
lightens the tint of the hair.
While taking this
image, I got the artist
to stand against a blue
wall and this was to
enhance the
background colour
because blue is a very
bright colour which
easily attracts the
audiences attention.
I edited the
background colour
slightly by adding a
glust of white to give
extra effect to the
picture making the
artist stand out from
the background colour.
In the image, I got the artist to do a
smile pose. This symbolises that most
teenage girls are happy and this is
portrayed with a happy girl in the
image. From having a women
smiling, its portrays women in a
positive light because it shows them
being happy and having fun.
2. This is an image which I will be using in my contents page.
While taking this photo I did not know what angle to take the
image at, however After considering all angle, I decided to
take this image as a Mid-shot. I chose to take this image as a
Mid-shot to get a better angle of artist while they were
sitting down. By also doing a mid shot photo, the audience
are at a better understanding of the artists body language.
I also edited this photo to add edginess to this
photo. I firstly darkened this photo to give a black
and white effect to this photo. I then lightened the
image to lighten the artists face so that it was Cleary
visible to the audience.
For this angle shot, I wanted to have a black background to
go with the effect of the photo which was black and white.
By having a dark background also attracts all the audience
attraction to the artist in the photo. Therefore in this
picture the background is not over powering the main
image.
In this image, I edited the photo for many different reasons. I firstly edited the photo for it to have a
white glow. The white glow effect symbolises purity of women and this effect is Cleary portrayed in
this image. This photo also breaks many stereotypes of teenagers. In this image the teenage girl is
looking away and this effects gives to the audience that she is very shy and nervous. This breaks
stereotypes because the older generation believe that the younger generation are loud and over
confident and I believe this image breaks that stereotype.
3. This image is also of a close up of the artist. The
image also have servial different effects which
makes up the contrast of this photo. I firstly
cropped this photo down because the background
of the photo was not needed for this image. I also
cropped this background out because I just wanted
the audience to be attracted to the main image of
the photo. Once the photo was cropped I then
edited the photo by lightening the effects by
adding a glowing effect to the image. I then added
a “sepia” effect to the image and then lightened
the image again to give an orange glow to this
photo.
This photo will most likely be used on my
context page because I feel that this is image
does not attract the audience as much as what
the first photo does. However I like this photo
effects because it adds edgiest to the photo
because it has a different contrast colour which
attracts the readers attention.
This image portrays a young girl having fun by doing a fun pose. I think this portrays teenage
girls in a positive way because the teenage girl is having fun without breaking the law or
committing a crime with the older generation believing that the younger generation see crime
as a fun lifestyle therefore this image portrays that the younger generation can have fun
without breaking any laws.
4. I also took this image as a close up shot as I believe that a
main image should be close up so that the audience can get a
better feel for the magazine.
To get this image I had to edit the photo several times . I
firstly cropped the photo down to get a closer image of the
face. I then darkened the photo for a black and white effect.
Once the photo was darken I then slightly lightened them
image so that the image has a slight glow and this was the
final outcome from the editing.
This is one of my mid-shot photos. The angle that I took this image at
was an “over the head” angle where the camera was above the artist
in the image.
For this photo, I did not edit the photo however the adjustment that
was made to the photo was that the image was slightly cropped to
crop out what additional things in the background which are not
needed for the shot.
However this was the only image which has a colourful background
because this photo was not edited. The background of the photo
contains of white wall tiles with added patterns. I used this as a
background because I did not want all shots to have a plan
background,
