PRELIMINARY TASK: FINAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Here is me trying to capture the perfect pose for the photography:

This is the picture Ive selected for my cover page :

Other pictures that I took apart from the one that I shortlisted are below :

These are the photographs Ive taken for my preliminary task and as a matter of fact, there are a number of flaws that my teacher and I identified together in these. For instance, the joints and hands should not be cut or crossed out instead the shot should be adjusted that way. However the way I captured the photos, my models hands were cut and it should've been a mid shot. To correct this i can crop the image in a way that the hands dont seem cut during my making. Since its a business magazine my subject is wearing a black and white shirt and black jeans that mainly represent a suit for business magazines. She is also wearing glasses which can be taken as a sign of intelligence, hard work etc, professionalism etc.

PUBLISHING HOUSE

The publishing house that I chose for my animal magazine would be DAWN. DAWN is a well known publishing house since its the oldest english language newspaper/ magazine in Pakistan. They usually have their spotlights on a variety of topics so in my opinion, they will feel no hesitation to publish my genre as well. Another reason of the less likely chances for DAWN to reject my magazine is the number of people with dogs as pets in our country is quite high, which means that the genre of my magazine will be proven beneficial for many people since it is highly representative.

PHOTOGRAPHY RULES

Photography rules and their information is as important as anything else in media. We discussed a number of rules that should be considered while we take a photo, and rules that we should knowing while taking our shots. Here are some of the shots I took and the rules that they belong to : DEPTH OF FIELD: 'Depth of field' is used for objects in the background and the foreground. It focuses on the main subject. LEADING LINES: 'Leading Lines' show the effect that the viewer is being dragged towards a specific subject and draw the viewers eye to a specific direction. NOSE ROOM: 'Nose Room' is the space between the subject in a photo and the next moving or still object being looked towards. HEAD ROOM: The 'Head Room' is the space between the subjects head and the top of the frame ie the space of the room.

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

As far as the distribution of my magazine is concerned, it will be made available in majorly all urban areas that are highly populated. These would be Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Multan in particular since statistics and research states that mostly dog owners are found in these urban areas. I will be selling my magazine's copies at a fair price in the number of 1000. These will be available at big shops and stalls where mostly the upper class, upper middle class, and the middle class people will have their reach.
