Photography Powerpoint

In class we looked at a photography powerpoint which displayed different photography techniques and how we could use these to get the best possible images for our magazine. We learned about the different distances that can be used to portray different things in an image. From looking at multiple different images I have decided that I would like to try and take a medium shot which I could use for my front cover image. I decided on trying to get a medium shot because it is close enough to show emotion in a characters face but not too large that the face takes up the whole front cover. Here is an example of medium shot and I would like something similar to this on my front cover.

From the powerpoint I also decided to include images that are bright and vivid in colour. It is a common feature of my magazine genre and I find the images to be more attractive and appealing to the reader. The bright colours portray happiness and give a nice impression of the magazine to the reader. Here is an example of and image that I would like to recreate for my magazine.

One of the slides discussed the type of images that we could include in our magazine. There was two different types of images shown and that was a 'Candid Image' and a 'Posed image.' As far as possible I would like to include Candid Images in my magazine. The poses will be as natural as possible. I think that these types of images will fit better with my ideas for my double page spread. Natural images will appeal more to my target audience because young teenagers will be more attracted to a person that they can relate to. Someone in a natural environment with a natural pose will be easier for young teenagers to relate to.

This image is a posed image.

This image is a candid image.
