Initial Audience Feedback

Initial Audience Feedback

After talking my initial shots we all regrouped in the class room to get some feed back on how my photo composition was in my first shots.

When showing my pictures on the board I had to pick out the negative aspects to my photographs while everyone else in the group had to pick out the positive point.

When other people photographs were on the board the roles were reversed they had to pick out the negative points while me and other members of the group had to pick out the positive.

This process that we used is known as Mise En Scene.

Photo Composition

This is one of the photographs that we reviewed I could improve this picture in many ways as the picture itself is poor as I could not connect this picture with a story about school. Another point is that I have not thought about things when taking the photograph such as the reflection made by the glass door. The final thing that I could approve on is the positioning off the actor as he is not addressing the audience.

This is one of the better photographs that I took as I have taken into account many things such as the lighting and the positioning of my actor as I have took into account the rule of thirds.

Preparation for my Preliminary task

After I had composed my first set of photographs we reviewed the photographs that I had taken with the rest of the group. During this i picked out the negative points to my photographs while the rest of the group had to pick out the positive points.

We also were taught about the rule of thirds which should improve the composition of my photographs.

Deciding My Brief

Last week I chose the brief that I was going top do the brief i decided to do was the print brief. 

 Preliminary exercise: using DTP and an image manipulation program, produce the front page of a new school/college magazine, featuring a photograph of a student in medium close-up plus some appropriately laid out text and a masthead. Additionally candidates must produce a DTP mock-up of the layout of the contents page to demonstrate their grasp of the program.

Main task: the front page, contents and double page spread of a new music magazine.

All images and text used must be original, produced by the candidate, minimum of FOUR images per candidate.

I chose to do this brief as I believe that I can achieve a good grade as the school has the resources I need to complete this task such as Adobe Photoshop, high quality cameras and course work from previous years that I can look at to help me with my course.
