1) I must take
numerous photo shoots to ensure my photographs are of high quality as I was not
necessarily pleased with the quality of my school magazine photos and had to
rely heavily on the editing process. This will allow my selection of photos to
be greater.
2) I must
consider using natural light as I used this in the school magazine and this was
much softer than the artificial light as the model’s features were highlighted
to a higher quality by the natural light which will ultimately improve my photo
quality, making the magazine more appealing to my target audience.
3) I will use
the same editing features for my music magazine, such as the black and white,
as I feel this worked well in my school magazine. If I am to have a full black and
white image I will take this using the camera settings although I am also going
to experiment with a colour feature as I think this will liven the image up.
4) I must consider
the efficiency of photo graphing more than one model at a time as this caused
great difficulty during the school magazine as one model was illuminated more
than the other and the features therefore were lost. I would only shoot more
than one model if I was guaranteed to gain a quality image due to the
circumstances although I would be less inclined to do this.
5) I must
sustain a colour theme throughout the front cover as I believed this worked
well in the school magazine as it created a professional appearance and is
considered good design.
6) I must make
my music magazine more creative and interesting to the viewer as this is a
media product and must be able to sustain the viewer’s attention span. I must
make my front cover busier as the school magazine was extremely simple which
fitted the criteria although not particularly engaging.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->7) <!--[endif]-->My magazine
must have striking title as the title on the school magazine was rather bland
although fitted the purpose. This title must incorporate colour and add
interest to the magazine as the school magazine title was uninspiring.
8) I must ensure
I have a clear focus for the magazine which I stick to throughout the creation.
This will ensure the magazine is effective and grasps the reader’s attention
span which is relatively short.
9) I must ensure
the contents page and double page spread is strong and follows the feel of the
magazine. I must use a range of research and narrow this down to ensure my
contents page conforms to the brief.
10) I must use
various models, one for the front page and a different model for the double
page spread and contents page. This will also allow me to take numerous shoots.
