This document discusses how the author took professional-looking photographs for a pop magazine using a photography studio setup with a white backdrop and screen, as well as high-key lighting and a Canon camera. This allowed the photos to look like those produced by top companies. Using a white backdrop also allowed the text on the front page to stand out and be easily viewed. Considering professional magazine photo conventions, the author shot images on a white screen and edited in a light blue background in Photoshop. This made the band featured stand out against the plain background due to their brightly colored clothing.

The document summarizes the process of creating modeling pictures for a magazine. It discusses using a Canon EOS 1100D DSLR camera with 12 megapixels and a pop-up flash. A tripod was used to prevent shaky pictures. Multiple pictures were taken with different angles, lighting, and focuses. Photoshop was used to edit pictures by darkening hair and makeup. Microsoft Office and Adobe Fireworks were also used for layout and design work. A variety of fonts from 1001 Fonts and Microsoft Office were used to give the magazine a professional look.
Using Photoshop
I developed my Photoshop skills by slightly manipulating the main image on the cover of my music magazine to create better lighting suited to my publication. I used the brightness and contrast tool to remove some dark shadows and enhance colors similar to an Olly Murs image I referenced. I also used the crop tool to better frame the image since the background was the same as the front cover and needed to be sized to A4. Minor adjustments were made to the background using the clone stamp tool by selecting and drawing over parts to remove for a less distracting, more professional look.

Pre - production - canon
The document outlines plans for a contact sheet print advert featuring multiple images from Newcastle presented with colors and the Canon logo. It will follow the campaign in a unique format not seen in many posters by including multiple images in one. A location scout was done to document where filming took place and on what dates for permissions purposes. As the images were taken in a public place in Newcastle and it was a solo production, no permissions were needed. The resources needed include a phone with camera, SD card, Photoshop, Google Drive. A flat plan is presented for the print advert sketches with the unique selling point being its contact sheet format and style.
What makes a good photograph
High-key lighting aims to reduce lighting contrast ratios in a scene to suggest an upbeat mood, originally for technical film reasons but now for creative effect. Low-key lighting uses mainly a key light optionally with a fill light to create shadows and contrast, producing a chiaroscuro dramatic effect important for photography, film, and television lighting styles. These styles balance light and shadow in different ways to impact the mood of an image or scene.
Steps that have been used to create the advert.
1) The document outlines the steps taken to create a campaign ad, beginning with designing a layout template and using Photoshop to create framing corners for the billboard.
2) Key words like "election" were added in multiple languages on both sides of the ad. Fonts were also designed in Illustrator for higher definition.
3) Photographs of models were taken, with one model positioned to look thoughtful and confused to convey the message that not all citizens understand the voting system.

Reconnaissance and ideas
- 1. This is the location where I have taken my photographs for my Pop magazine. Like professional images, they were shot using a backdrop and a white screen. Doing this as well as having high key lighting and a professional canon camera allowed me to take images that looked more professional and that of what a top end company would produce. Using a photography studio to take photos allows you to control the shadow in the shot. For instance the shadow has been purposely used within the double page spread to create an eerie, effect on Ollie, this has worked well as the page is all about him leaving the band to make a solo career. Another advantage of using a white backdrop includes that it allows the text on the front page to stand out on the newly made background, making it easy for the reader to view. Professional magazines also shoot their photos in a studio with equipment similar to this, this is a common convention as this way they are able to add backgrounds and effects at their will. Usually, they only shoot outside if they have a special article relating to a specific setting for the artist, even so, they can use effects and backgrounds anyway to create this without event going there. This can be done on photo manipulation software’s such as Photoshop. Considering this, when creating my images, I shot on the white screen and edited in my light blue background using the colouring tool. Using a plain background without any effects on it allowed my image to stand out more, this is because the band are wearing bright and different coloured clothing to the background. Having this new background with the easily cropped image allows me to place it and resize it to an area that allows all of my sell lines to fit in. Having a white backdrop allowed me to easily cut out the band and place them on a new background, this is also a common convention of pop magazines. Pop magazines such as We love pop and pop party use this as well or sometimes leave the background white and minorly edit it. When they do this however, they make the page full of content to ensure it does not come across as dull to the audience.
