SHOOT ANALYSIS (REJECTING SOME)

As talked in one of the previous blogs, I rejected some pictures from both of my shoots since I had found flaws in them and not worthy enough of going on the magazine be it as a cover or anything else. This analysis is going to help me what pictures to use at the final stage. The photos below were rejected on the basis of their technical flaws as explained side by side.

COVER PICTURE:🐾

I would have really liked this as a cover picture but the lighting is too dark and the angle is a bit distorted too.

Although my model looks graceful in this photograph, its head got slightly cut from the top leaving zero head room even for a mid shot.

DOUBLE SPREAD PHOTOGRAPHS: 🐾

The lighting and angle in this shot are perfect for it to be on a double spread but the shot got blurry and the picture got way too much distorted.

The lighting in this shot is too dark and like the technical fault on the cover page photograph, there is no head room in here.

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.
