PHOTOS

I didn’t use these as I didn’t feel that they portrayed the image that I was after. Having her play the guitar was a good thought but I think the way her head is tilted away is too much and other pictures I took looked much better.

I really like the picture on the left. I used a low angle shot to make her look for powerful and prominent. I think her looking to the side slightly but the camera still has full view of her face is a good part of the photo. I am going to use this picture on my contents page.

This picture isn’t the best out of what I took. It was a low angle shot looking up at her to create power however the picture looks twisted as she is looking in different directions.

These pictures look really good. They fit the codes and conventions of my music magazine as they are a bit cheeky and get across the rock image. I may use these in my magazine, it depends if there is space.

This picture contains nose room so is perfect for my double page spread, so this is the picture that I am using. I plan on it being in black and white so it looks for effective.

I took a picture of the sky in case I want to do something different with my background on either my front cover or double page spread. I am really pleased with this picture. I think that it really fits with the conventions. This mid shot allows for the mise-en-scene to come across into the forefront of the photo and the attitude in the picture looks really good. I am going to use this picture as my splash image on my front cover.

These pictures were taken when I went to a gig. They aren’t the best quality and they don’t look as professional as gig photos usually look in a music magazine. However I have thought about adding a competition to my magazine, a live picture feature that readers send in their photos, so then I can use these pictures and sending in pictures to a music magazine is very common.

This is a picture I took at a gig. I think that it looks really good with the lights in front and all the crowds hands up in the air. Also you can just make out the band in the distance. I will be using this picture on my contents page.

The picture on the left is a low angle shot with. The people also raised as they are up stairs but are also hanging on the stair rail. I think that this picture fits with the conventions as it is rebellious and gives them power. I will use this picture on my contents page. The photo below is good. It fits with the conventions using mise-en-scene and props. I like that it is close up and that the top of his head isn’t there. It shows the quick pase of the photo and also that my magazine is light hearted. I may use this photo on my contents page.

I like this photo. It is thoughtful. She is looking into the distance which could represent her career and life going forward. She’s clutching her guitar which shows that it is important to her and she is holding it in front of her body like she is using her music as a barrier. The only thing I don’t like about this picture is that the tripod was set too high. I think it would work a bit better if it was taken at a lower angle looking upwards. I will not be using this photo in my magazine.

I really like this photo, I took it at a gig that I went to. I think that having the spot light focused on one person makes him look more prominent and pushes him into the front of the picture. Also the camera is angling upwards meaning that he has more power and looks more ideological. I will use this picture on my contents page.
