Magazine Analysis #2

The image I used is a medium shot. Before taking the picture I planned out the following:

1. How the student model will be situated, her facial expressions and the feelings she is trying to portray.


2. The location of the photo and whether that will affect the image.


3. The Mise-en-scene - what is in the background of the photo.


4. The props in the picture. In addition, costumes are important.


5. If I will crop the image or insert text or editing.
   

The student was situated in a domestic setting to show a personal and relaxed mood. I asked her to smile as this would envoke a feeling of happiness or ease in the reader and portrays an ideology that Wyke College is fun. In addition, her body language is relaxed.

Mise-en scene in my image- I decided to include the student, as this is relevant to the medium. I included a domestic background for the reasons given above. I positioned the camera so that the student filled most of the frame; however some background was intentionally shown.

The costume in the image was black and white, to reinforce the schooling institutions ideologies. The student models line of sight is in the centre of the page so that the reader will immeadiately draw their attention to her.
