SHOOT DAY 2 (re-shoot)

 The previous shoot I did was not satisfactory as it had a number of flaws in it. First and most of all my model looked aged and not energetic at all in those photos. My pet magazine is supposed to be appealing and for that I wanted to have an energetic pet on the cover image. Furthermore, many of my angles were not correct and fixed at all. You will get to see those pictures in my shoot analysis, and since Ive mentioned the flaws above, you will have no difficulty identifying them there. 


I wanted sunlight in these photos too and it was quite favorable a thing for me that I had the benefit of broad daylight which helped me take a lot of pictures. These pictures include full shots, mid shots, and wide shots too. 


Since the location was the same one as the last time, I was familiar with at which spots to capture photographs and which spots should my model be avoided to go to. 


The lighting was extremely good for my shoot and my model fortunately cooperated a lot with me since it didn't move much while i was capturing stills, however I did face some disadvantages too on my shoot day 2 too. For instance, I later realized that a bigger green area like an open field or a park or something like that could help more since dogs are usually more energetic when they see a more open field, and in this way it could pass more energetic facial expressions for my photographs but unfortunately due to the lock down because of the pandemic, no such open fields or parks were open.

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 ...

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...
