The first shot I took was a mid-closeup shot of my model standing up and she wasn't posing. I decided that this shot wasn't suitable for my magazine because the model looks too simple and this doesn't match the conventions of a pop magazine where the model is usually posing. However, I like the model's smile and the angle of gaze as it looks quite intriguing. This shot might be suitable for the contents page or the double page spread as these are usually simpler compared to the front cover.
The second shot I took was a mid-long shot where my model was posing. Her pose isn't too over the top but still makes it relative to my theme. Her wide smile is also eye-catching however, I personally think that it will be hard to work with if I made it my front cover image but it could work for the contents page or the double page spread.
The third shot is my final shot for the front cover of my magazine. I think this is a unique angle and the angle of gaze is also innovative. In this mid-closeup shot, my model was sitting down and slightly looking up at the camera which makes her the main focus on the cover. Her wide smile is also very hooking and the natural lip colour goes against the conventions but the colours on her dress make it better. When it comes to my masthead choices, I will consider making it brighter so that my cover has some bright features.
The fourth shot I took was a long shot of my model standing up with her hands in front. I think this is a different pose which isn't usually seen on pop music magazines. I could use this for my contents page as it looks good and very eye-catching.
The fifth shot is also a long shot of my model sitting down with her legs out. This is suitable for the double page spread because I have intended to use a sitting down image of my model with her legs out and this is preferably the best one. She doesn't have a wide smile which could help me write a suitable interview and this could also help me make up a quote.
The sixth and last shot I took is a mid-closeup of my model sitting down and this one is very similar to my final decision however, I liked the third shot better compared to this one because this was a little blurry near the eyes. However, I like the angle of gaze and the shot angle. The last picture on this video is my model holding her model consent form to show that I used her consent when taking these test shots.
When I was taking these pictures, I didn't add enough lighting to the background so it came out came dark and hence, some shadows were created. I thought this would be a big problem but I will fix it when it comes to manipulating the images.
Overall, I like the images I took as I think they are suitable for my target audience and also suit my theme. They aren't targeted towards younger teens because I would've used brighter colours but I used some natural colours to make it suitable for this age range. Last but not least, when I was taking these images, I didn't follow my shots as I didn't take all of the shots I had planned to. Although, I didn't follow the shot list, I managed to get a good variety of images.
This is my final shot.
