PRELIMINARY TASK: INSPIRATION FOR MY PHOTOS

 I will surely capture some photos for my magazine cover and secondary images too, but before I go onto that let me show you some pictures which is going to give you an idea as to how my magazine is going to unfold. Here is an example of how my model is going to look and dress up. I would like to feature my model with such positivity in her face and her way of standing would also seem professional but appealing at the same time. And unlike many business magazines where entrepreneurs will dress up in their usual casual attire, my model will represent a professional business woman and dress up in a suit or an office look. 



My cover would somewhat look like this:






The secondary shots that I will be taking can majorly include full shots, medium shots, medium long shot and point of view shot. It would most probably be a 2 shot because in my opinion, business magazines / corporate magazines are incomplete without a shot showing interaction. 




My content page will also be having a picture or a main picture that will be a high angle shot as this in my opinion, is appealing An example of this is as follows:

SKETCHES AND ROUGH MOCKUPS

 To start with the making of the magazine and moving on to working on the software, all I needed was firstly to make a rough sketch of how I would actually design the cover in regard to the placements and the heading etc. Then I also decided to roughly sketch the double spread too. Here is how i roughly sketched my magazine elements featuring all the components of a magazine to make it look appealing to the audience. I used the online auto draw tool for this purpose which made me design a rough sketch easily. Cover page : For my magazine cover I decided I would put a full shot of my dog (model) from head to toe. As my dog is trained I am looking forward to the fact that it would be easy for me to get a full shot it. However if he's too restless I really wont be able to control how he stands. In that I would take a close up shot and put it in the same way as sketched. It will be picture taken in high key lighting that I have thought would be taken in natural sun light following the ...

SCHEDULE

 I didn't have to plan a complicated detailed schedule for my shoot since the model was available at my house at all times but the most important factor that needed to be considered surely affects my schedule making, i.e. lighting. I usually had classes in the morning and would be back by 3-4pm and till then, broad daylight wouldn't have been present at all for a good shoot. Instead I planned to do it on a weekend when I would start the shoot early.   -Saturday 12th March. 11am- 1pm This was the day and time I initially planned my shoot but unfortunately the weather was unfavorable and it rained too, which led me to having to delay my dates.  -Sunday 13th March I did my shoot on this day on the same timings, I had a broad daylight and the weather worked in my favor too. The shoot was done for the cover page as well as my double spread and content page.  -Thursday 18th March On this day I had to do a reshoot because my previous shoot had some flaws and was definitely ...

THE CONCEPTS ELABORATED

  Another important part of media studies is how forms and languages are used to convey the products of media and its use of codes and conventions that helps it. These include different signs  and symbols to create meaning to something.  The most important of them is codes which are used in media and these are actually the connotations to the audience.    Initially there are two categories of codes that you'll find in media, one is the technical code and the other is the symbolic code. Technical codes includes all the equipment used to tell a story in a media text and includes camera techniques, framing, depth of field and exposure. Whereas symbolic codes on the other hand show whats beneath the surface of what we see for instance objects, setting, body language, clothing and color.  Other categories of codes include the written codes and the audio codes. The written codes as the label itself says, is the formal written language on a media product for examp...
