Do my all my images meet my intentions?

Fashion Spread

This is the image I have chosen for my fashion spread, it shows the models outfit very clearly as the model is sharply in focus. The background of the image is out of focus so we can clearly see depth of field in the image, the model is making direct address with the audience clearly, this makes the audience feel more involved. The way she is propped up on the railing is very interesting and brings in the use of the environment in the photograph. The environment goes well with my theme of gender reversal because the place she is in is somewhere the opposite gender could possibly hang out. The text I used for the description of clothing is Myriad Pro, this text is very simple so it doesn’t detract anything from the main image. The intentions of my imagewas to have the model appear more dominant& masculine as this would fit with my overall theme of gender reversal or how making women look more sporty and masculine can be a good attractive thing. Overall I think my image meets the intentions because of the mise en scene of the image, the model is wearing male clothing which signifies manliness, the model also isn't wearing any make-up and hasn’t done her hair. Her stance is also very upright and dominantshe looks very assertive and has no sign of beingfeminine at all.

This is the image I have chosen for my photo-shoot, the model is sharply in focus so the audience can clearly see the whole outfit. The jacket of the model is pushed to the back so we can clearly see her top & over shirt, which is the whole outfit. The model will be cropped out of the image so that it is portrait. The colours of the image are mainly on the model, so that she is the first thing that attracts our attention. The background is rather grey and blends together which doesn’t take our attention away from the main point of theimage. The model in this image isn’t making direct address with the audience which makes her seem more dominant in the image. This is a good feature. The image meets my intentions because the theme of my magazine is women looking more dominant / masculine. In this image the facial expressionmakes the model look as if she is not bothered about the camera and her stance is in such a way that she is posing for the camera so that the audience can see more of her. The confidence inthis image has connotations of masculinity and portrays an image that the model is extremely comfortable.

I have chosen this image because of how interesting technically the image is. Firstly, the camera shot size is a canted low angle. This is a very difficult camera shot to execute but I believe I did it well. The canted angle works because the model is leaning back and the camera makes it appear as if we are leaning with her. This shot angle also shows more of the models outfit, which is important as the purpose of the image is for it to be a fashion shoot. The model also has the cardigan open in this image so we can see the grey shirt underneath, the beanie hat compliments this shirt, making the outfit look good. The image is very interesting because of the low angle shot, the mise en scene of the image isperfect for what I am trying to convey to the audience, which is gender reversal and how women can look good in males clothes. This image meets my intentions of creating a theme of gender reversal mainly because of the camera angle I used, the low angle shot gives the model dominance over the image and has connotations of masculinity and confidence. These connotations are exactly what I wantmy images to portray to the audience so they caneasily understand what the theme is of the fashion shoot.

I have chosen this image as it is the most interesting out of my photo-shoot. The angle used is an over the shoulder but the model is making direct address with the audience. The model is not centred in this photograph but she is sharply in focus so she is the first thing we look at. The rest of the image is clearly out of focus, showing depth of field as we go down the ramp. The whole outfit of the model including the shoes can be seen in this shot, this is very important as it is a fashion shoot for clothes, so the audience needs to see the clothes primarily. The colour red stands out predominantly in this image, it is very important as it makes it so we look at this first, the audience will do this because the rest of the image is neutral colours. The title is perfect for conveying the intentions of my fashion spread. The male gender O symbol in the women perfectly represents the theme of my magazine, the blue colour also hasconnotations of masculinity. The white stands out very well and the text below the title works very well as the blue drop cap allows the audience to see it clearly. The mise enscene of this image clearly connotes a very male image because of the background in the image, it appears extremely dirty and where somewhereof the opposite gender would hang out and where you would not expect to seea girl.

Front Covers

This image was chosen for my magazine front cover because of the direct address of the model. Also his actions looks as if he is very serious about prom, the action of pulling up his trousers is also very suave and adds to the image. The text on the image is very good because the red is easy to read and stands out so the audience’s eyes will be drawn to it and then they can read the text below. The title Fun is also red so it can be seen easily and also so it fits with the colour theme of the magazine. The audience of the magazine is teenagers, so the model had to be a teenager so it would fit with the theme. The model also had to look very smart and well dressed to pull off the theme of this magazine being around‘Prom.’ The model has been cut out of the background so that he stands out more against the white, the top left of the white has been slightly darkened to give it some differentiation. The image has also been edited in terms of brightness & contrast so that the model stands out more and looks the best he possibly can. The intentions of this image is to create a magazine that is appealing to teenagers, though thecombination of the theme (prom) which is appealing the cover lines which are attractive to the audienceand the fact the model is a teenager himself.

This image was chosen for the front cover of my party themed magazine. I believe the image meets my intentions because of how the model looks. She clearly looks as if she is having a good time because of her smile. The models pose of brushing her hand through her hair also works well as it shows off the mise en scene of her outfit, there is a fishnet glove on her hand which signifies a kid of rock / punk theme, this is how people would generally dress if they were going to a rave, it is extremely colourful and connotes fun. The text is similar to every other magazine cover so that there is a general theme that runs throughout and so that it is very easily so read the coverlines. Themagazine has met its intentions also because of how it would appear to its target audience, it looks like fun and would provoke teenagers to buy it because of the model on the front and possibly because of the enticing cover lines. OverallI believe this image meets my intentions of being a magazine that is attractive to teenagers because of the mise en scene of the image. The model is dressed in an outfit that is attractive to a teenager because it looks as if she is going to a rave, which is also where teenagers would like to spend their time.

I chose this image for the cover of my music themed magazine. The image works well because the model is making direct address with the audience and his mise en scene suggests he is a teenager which is the target audience of this specific magazine. All the cover lines are also relevant to a teenage audience so that they would be interested in the article and consider buying the magazine. Even the title of the magazine has connotations of teenage life, this is so that teenagers feel inclined to buy it. The cover lines are also easy to read and stand out well on the white background. I feel as though this finished product meets my intentions because it can persuade teenagers to want to buy the magazine.The image has also been edited in terms of contrast & brightness so that it is more pleasingand looks more professional. The contrast brings outthe more vivid colours which is good because I believe it brings more attention to the brown guitar which should be quite noticeable and make the theme of the magazine / a lot more clear. I believe this image meets my intentions of being attractive to a teenageaudience because of the mise en scene of image. The guitar is very prominent in this image whichwould attract the teenage audience and cause them to be interested in the magazine.

I chose this image for the cover of my technology magazine. The image works well for my intentions because the phone in clearly viewable by the audience so they will know that it is the main point of this issue. The mise en scene of the image works because the models facial features clearly represent that she is in a phone call she wants to get out of, which lots of teenagers experience with their mothers. The cover lines are also extremely relatable to the teenage audience. This is so that the audience will feel inclined to buy the magazine. The clothing of the model in this photograph is bland which is good so it doesn’t detract any attention away from the main point of the image. Overall I believe this image meets my intentions because of the mise en scene of the image and how the cover lines relate to the theme of the issue.
