This document reviews 9 photos from a photo shoot of actress Sienna Miller. Photo 8 is selected for use on a film poster because the composition is neat and symmetrical, Sienna's off-frame gaze suggests a disengaged character, and the lighting creates a colored effect while still showing her face without direct eye contact. Photo 3 is also considered for a magazine cover because it has a playful, casual style appropriate for that purpose. The other photos have various compositional or technical issues that make them less suitable for the intended uses.

Teaser poster outlines landscape
This teaser poster draft is in landscape orientation and provides details about the film title "The Art of Living", release date of June 5th, and names of the actor and director, Calvin Bishop and James Slator. The document discusses adapting and changing ideas, fonts, colors, and placements to finalize the teaser poster design and make it as authentic and professional as possible.
Poster analysis
The poster uses various micro-level techniques like mise-en-scene and camerawork to subtly provide clues about the genre, narrative, and themes of the film. Specifically:
1) Clouds above the main character symbolize his clouded, confused state of mind and set a mysterious atmosphere.
2) Faded eyes watching from above imply someone is watching the character, diminishing his power and creating unease.
3) The character's isolated, turned-away pose shows he feels lost and intimidating.
4) A glitching news banner across his chest partially reveals a headline to build suspense about the film's narrative.
Media evaluation 1
The document discusses the design of a magazine cover, teaser poster, and trailer for a thriller film called "My Name Is Jon". For the magazine cover, conventions were followed such as placing the main image off-center and including a headline. The teaser poster features an ominous image and minimal text as is typical. Shots in the trailer were chosen to create an unsettling atmosphere about the mysterious main character without revealing details, breaking from conventions of typical trailer structures.
Task 11
This document summarizes the images and edits used on the magazine cover. It discusses using a headshot of Daniel in front of a blue screen to make the background removable. It also discusses using a long shot of Mustafa to show his body language and calm personality. A mid-shot of Becky and Sam was edited to change the background from a college to gates. A picture of Daniel laughing while holding a microphone was edited into a mid-shot to look natural. The last picture discussed is a close-up of Scott from his previous band, with question marks added to draw attention.
Cover 2 selection
The document discusses a photo being considered for the front cover of a magazine. It notes that the photo stands out due to the large contrast in colors between the man's clothing and the background. Bright lighting enhances this contrast and eliminates shadows. However, there is one shadow under the man's right arm due to lack of lighting from all angles, which is atypical for magazine covers. The man's relaxed body language fits the magazine's laidback theme. The shadow would need to be removed through photo editing if this photo is selected.
Poster and mag shoot
The document summarizes a photo shoot for posters and magazines promoting a film. Photos were taken of the main protagonist against a yellow brick wall and in a bathroom mirror to highlight the character and film's tagline. While bathroom shots couldn't be used, the photos of the protagonist in a fur coat and red lipstick against the yellow wall best portrayed the atmosphere desired to market the female-led British crime film.
Camera expermentation (1)
This document contains 7 photos taken by April Phillips to showcase fashion accessories and clothing. The photos use different angles, lighting, depths of field, and poses to emphasize the accessories and outfits. While some photos have lighting that is too bright or backgrounds that distract from the items, others use techniques like shallow depth of field and close-ups to draw attention to the centerpiece accessories and help readers decide if they like the styles.

Evaluation
This document evaluates different design ideas for the layout of a music magazine. It discusses changes made to the color scheme, backgrounds, fonts, and positioning of images and text over multiple iterations. Various photos were considered but not used for reasons such as eyes being closed, unfavorable angles, or hands blocking the face. The final design placed the main image in the center, included a DVD cover, and aligned the text with the image.
Poster shots taken/ mise-en-scene
The document discusses several poster shot photos that a group decided not to use for their movie poster. They found issues with the centering of the models, the facial expressions not looking scary enough, backgrounds not being dark enough, shadows making images hard to edit, angles making the villain look too innocent, and eye positioning looking comical rather than scary. The group wanted a shot with straight gaze and a mid-shot that avoided these issues.
Camera Shot Analysis.
This document analyzes the camera shots used in popular music videos and discusses why each shot was an effective choice. It examines shots including a reverse mid shot in "Cherry Wine" that sets the scene mysteriously, an extreme wide shot in "Roses" that uses lighting to silhouette the dancer, and a close up in "Lost Boy" that powerfully displays the artist's facial expressions. Overall, the document discusses how different camera shots like close ups, wide shots and establishing shots can be used strategically to set mood, highlight important details, and draw in the audience.
Film camera
This document contains an artist's reflections on experimenting with a film camera to capture images in a natural way. They discuss several photos in terms of composition, lighting, exposure, and technical camera settings. The artist was able to experiment with features like ISO, exposure, focal length, and focus. Their aim was to capture fleeting moments of light and life through creative angles and compositions. However, some photos suffered from exposure or focus issues that they hope to improve on next time.
Photographic Evidence
The document summarizes the selection process for photos to include in a music magazine. The author chose a photo for the front cover that shows the model smiling and making direct eye contact with the reader. For interior pages, a mid-shot photo was selected that focuses on the model's face and shows a friendly expression. Additional photos included a mirror shot that captures the model's reflection and eye contact to represent glamour, and a photo with the model and her dog to provide a realistic glimpse into the celebrity's life.
Task 5 Critiques
The document contains feedback from judges on photos submitted by two teams for a modeling competition task of depicting "stressed/calm". For Team 1, the judges praise Photo 1 for perfectly embodying the task through contrasting bright colors in the background and the model's depressed expression and body language. They note minor issues could be improved but overall it is nearly perfect. They provide additional feedback on technical and execution issues for each of the other photos. For Team 2, the judges note the photos were nice but did not fully accomplish depicting the task through contrast as the backgrounds did not clearly convey relaxation. They felt the model's expressions were too comical rather than realistic portrayals of stress. They provide feedback on each photo and how
Our digipak image choices
The document discusses selecting photos for a digipak. Photos 1 and 2 were chosen for the front cover because they look natural, follow the sad theme, and image 2 features an interesting background. Image 5 may be used for the inlay as it shows a happier side. Other photos were rejected for being too dark, unnatural poses, low quality, or not fitting the theme of sadness with hope. The photos selected provide natural expressions that fit the theme while being high quality images.
Documentary photographers
The document discusses four documentary photographs taken by different photographers and analyzed by the author. For a photography assignment, the author conducted two photo shoots in Cheltenham capturing people unaware. Several photos from each shoot were selected, cropped, desaturated and adjusted for lighting and contrast. Three photos from each shoot were chosen as finals based on compositions and expressions captured. The author's style is compared to photographer Dominic Bracco II.
Posters
The document discusses film posters, their aims and conventions. It analyzes several posters in detail, including their use of imagery, text, and design elements. Feedback on the posters is provided from class discussion and online reviews. Based on this evaluation, the key elements of an effective short film poster are a simple yet symbolic main image, limited text focused on essential information, and a tagline that conveys the film's theme or message.
Images taken for the ancillaries by Joe Lavigne
The document describes a second photo shoot that was conducted to obtain close-up pictures of an artist after the first shoot did not provide high quality close-ups. For the second shoot, a plain background was used so the focus would be only on the artist. A tripod was also used to keep the camera distance and lighting consistent across photos. The writer felt the second shoot was successful as most images looked professionally done, especially those selected for edits. The edits section notes the photos look professional due to lighting and shadows, and show a range of emotions, poses, and stances that could portray different meanings.

Photo Shortlist
- 1. PRINT WORK PHOTO SHORTLIST PRINT WORK PHOTO SHORTLIST LOUISE CHIVERS
- 2. PHOTO #1 We liked this photo because of the blue/red lighting undertones we achieved by using the gels over the lights. We also liked the fact it was a slightly high angle, making Sienna look innocent and slightly vulnerable, a little like her character. However, the composition is a little tilted and to fix it in post would mean cropping more of her leg off. PHOTO #1
- 3. PHOTO #2 We liked this photo because the composition is very neat and tidy; she takes up a good proportion of the frame and is partly symmetrical, which is pleasing on the eye. There are a lot of shadows but they can be removed in Photoshop easily. We wouldn’t really use this for a poster as the camera covers her eyes, and successful posters usually have some form of direct address between the character and the audience, through seeing their face. PHOTO #2
- 4. PHOTO #3PHOTO #3 This photo breaks the symmetry a bit more from the previous photo but I find it appears quite playful and casual. We liked this because it seems like the kind of fun photo that a young movie star would take during a photo shoot for a magazine, therefore I think we will be most likely to use this image for our magazine cover. There is a black strap on the floor and some white paper on Sienna’s leg but they can easily be edited out.
- 5. PHOTO #4 This photo is a variant of #3. PHOTO #4
- 6. PHOTO #5 This photo is a variant of #3. PHOTO #5
- 7. PHOTO #6 This photo is quite similar to #3 but just in a different position. We liked the image but felt it wasn’t framed right, as her leg goes out of the frame, which doesn’t look particularly visually pleasing. PHOTO #6
- 8. PHOTO #7 We liked this photo because of the coloured effect we managed to achieve on it through the light gels, but I feel it is a little off-guard for Sienna and doesn’t convey good emotion through the facial expression. PHOTO #7
- 9. PHOTO #8 Our group really liked this photo as the composition is very neat and almost symmetrical, and the off- frame gaze suggests a ‘disengaged’ character. We liked the coloured effect we created and the audience is able to see her face yet not make eye contact; suggesting her de-attachment from society. The camera is also visible for mise-en-scene purposes. We will be using this for our film poster. PHOTO #8
- 10. PHOTO #9 This photo is a little like the previous one but with tighter framing. This could be a problem as this doesn’t leave room for any adjustments that could cut off part of the image. The facial expression also seems a little too casual for the poster. PHOTO #9
