Research and planning risk assessment and location recce

Research and planning further audience feedback

This is a print shot of a conversation between me and a friend where she gave some feedback on the front cover of my pop magazine. I will now consider these points to improve the front cover.

Research and planning shot list and shooting schedule

For my second Photoshoot I needed a medium shot picture of the two characters of my story for the double page spread. On the day of shooting I took a various number of different shot type and chose the most appropriate one.

Rsearch and planning improvements to DPS

Today I have added more text on the double page spread as there was too much blank space. Also, I added words in speech marks on the blank spaces of the image.

Research and planning 2nd photoshoot

I have carried out another photo shoot with my models yesterday on the 15th of January for my double page spread image.

This is the first picture I took in my second photo shoot for the double page spread. I could use this picture but it doesn't have the right attitude to match the genre and the quality of the photo is poor. Therefore, I won't be using this picture for my double page spread.

Even though this picture has the right attitudes and perfect expressions I wouldn't use it for my double page spread because the quality of the picture very poor. The lighting is low key and so you can't see the expressions very well.

In this photo you can see the expressions of the model on the right however, the other model doesn't have any expressions on her face. Also, the lighting on the right side is fine though, the lighting on the left is poor and dark therefore I wouldn't use this image for my double page spread.

I woudn't use this image for the double page spread even though it has good attitudes and expressions because first of all, the quality of it is bad, it's very blurry. Also, the positioning of the models isn't right as one side of the model on the left is cut off which doesn't look very professional.

I wouldn't use this image either as you cannot see one of the models expressions as she is looking the other way. Also, the image has come out very dark so it wouldn't look good on the double page spread.

This is the image I will be using for my double page spread it has the right attitude for the magazine genre. Also, the lighting of the picture and the positioning of the models are perfect for the double page spread. In this picture the expressions match with the storyline it shows that the main model Faith's disgusted by the attitudes and behavior of her friend.

Research and planning changes to DPS

This lesson I have changed the layout and the pictures on the double page spread. The previous picture had a brick wall background hence, didn't suit the genre. I have now changed the background  of the picture to white so that it matches with the double page spread and I can play around with the text on the image in the page.

Research and planning improvements to magazine covers

This is the most recent improved version of my front cover. This time I have taken one of the story lines off from the cover because it was too crowded according to the audience feedback. I have also added a page number to 'shape issue'.

This is the final improved version of my contents page. This time I have adjusted the text, titles and the pictures to look more organized and professional.

I haven't changed anything on the double page spread because I will need to take more pictures to exchange with these two because the big picture on here has a brick wall background which doesn't suit with my genre and looks out of place. I will need to do this next lesson as I will have to carry out a photoshoot again with my models in order to change this inappropriate image to something more suitable.
