Preliminary Planning

PRELIMINARY PLANNING:

 

For my preliminary task I have to create a magazine relating to schools using a medium close up image.

I have decided to aim it for sixth form students at my school, this is because I am in sixth form myself and creating this magazine would relate to people of my age (16-18 years old). It will have to have bold titles and funky font to attract the eye of a teenager, also the cover lines on the front of the magazine will have to relate to them and what is the latest debate within sixth form.

This will be the image that i will use for my front cover, although I had more images that I could have chosen from but I feel that this one has the right compasition and would sit well on the front of my magazine. The two people are wearing similar outfits and are posing similar also goes well. I feel that a medium close up was the right camera position for the way that they are sitting/ standing, and the background of the image compliment eachother. I also feel that having two people in the image will look better so i can relate the cover lines to the image. I used to 2 boys in smart clothing to link it to a Cover line that i have thought up. It will link into the school debate whether the smart 'business wear' that the school has put into place for the sixth form is working.

I will be breaking the codes and conventions by not following the C motion of a front cover and i will be using the T motion as a guide to help me with my front cover.
