Research and Planning:Shot locations

The first location was the media studio at Clarendon road where I used only a side light to illuminated my model giving a dark shadow across his face.

Research and Planning: Studio Photo's

The first set of images gave me the initial idea of what I wanted but the lighting I used was too dark, insead of using the hand lamp I opted for a studio light that will admit more and a brighter light to give the contrast between light and dark  

The angle of the photo doesn't work for what i had in mind, there's to much light on the face and you cant see the contrast between the shaded side of his face

As I moved the angle of which i started from and moved more to straight in front the contrast became more noticeable and would work for the article which the image is needed for. 

This is the image I am going to use due to the contrast between his face and the effect of the beam of light on the background. I think it will convey the message I want with a caption beneath 

The last two images i tested with the ceiling lights on as you can see it has illuminated all his face and doesn't give the effect of the shadow

Research and Planning: Progress over the last week

  This week I focused on my front cover and pictures taken for both front and double page spread.
with the front cover I added a bold impact fonts with a slight drop shadow to link with the image behind the two fonts I used are TIMES for CLASSIC and IMPACT for ROCK with the deep red line between. from just uploading this image I have noticed the deep red isn't being picked up. I will print the page out to see if its seeable or change the colour from my results.

Research and Planning:Social feedback

here is the first two comments on my blog as you can see the second person to post gave constructive critasims to my magazine like about the price it isnt shown anywhere on the magazine

Research and planning model test shots

From the selection of images chosen I would choose picture one because of the rock star look with the long sweeping fringe

Research and Planning:Shot Idea's

Here are a selection of images I have found in magazines, which gave me idea's to what I could possible use or recreate for my magazine. The first image shows a bold stance of Lewis Hamilton. I like the image because it has been photoshoped onto a new background and shows dominance that conveys to the audience, I would like to do something similar for my front cover.
The second image is a four picture display taken randomly while conducting an interview, I do like it because its not fake like been directed into positions, this covey  to the public the real celebrity what they could associate to.
Third image I like is due to the editing of images being croped giving it a spin on the usual photo editing
The film strip I really like again for the uniqueness of the editing it was taken while conducting  an interview showing the different emotions of the celebrity.
i chosen this shot because of the outside location, the man in the center of the image showing importance, even though its a sunny day a second light source  being used hence the shadow to illuminate the mans face. i will need to add a second light source for the double page spread images since the location is down in the woods
