MY TWO CHOSEN IMAGES.

Front cover

I have chosen to use this as my main image for my front cover of the magazine I'm creating as it shows clearly that Southfield is a highly successful school considering the background is a trophy cabinet. The model has a slight smile on her face which could show that she is happy and comfortable with the environment she's in and could create further conotations that it is a positive atmosphere. The use of the mid shot allows the readers to have a clear insight on the setting she's in due to the model wearing school uniform and it shows a significant amount of the background. When taking the mid shot, I told my model to look straight into the camera lens in order to produce a picture which has direct eye contact; this could allow the reader to feel more drawn in and connected when looking and reading the front cover. Within the mid shot, I have decided to include a clip board in order to look professional and shows signs of hardwork and a sense of dedication to school life, hoping the reader will see that this is a high achieving, good school.

Contents page

I have chosen to use this as my image for my contents pages as it is not as direct as the picture above yet still displays suggestions that the model is working hard and in an enjoyable environment due to the slight smile on her face. The use of her eye contact with the key board can also support this idea that she is dedicated and focused on her work. I have chosen to dress my model in their own clothes considering the school has a sixth form as well which could help show that they are reasonably laid back while still demonstrating that work and education is a main aspect to the school. The mid shot used shows what the model is doing, (computer work) that could display to the readers that the school is up-to-date with technology and work can be done on computers.
