Lesson 7

Lesson 7: 10-02-09

In this lesson, we had the opportunity to go out and use the digital cameras to full effect. It allowed us to take our images that we want for our front cover of the school magazine preliminary task. We had to consider how many pictures we wanted on the front cover, before going out to take them so we knew what we wanted to capture. Planning was essential in this part of the task if it was going to be a success. We had to think about how the images would fit the A4 page, and whether they were suitable to our specfic audience whether it be just the 6th Form, Staff or the school as a whole. We gained an understanding into how we should think carefully about everything in the shot, so when it comes to producing the front cover, it is slightly easier and more effective. On my front cover, I had an idea and knew the way in which I wanted my image to look which inturn will give off the right message. The layout, size and camera angles were thought about with great consideration, because I want my magazine cover to be a success and appeal to those who will gain the most out of the information inside.
