Photo checklist


  1. What & Who is going to be in my Original Images?
  2. Will I be able to take Images for just my Front Cover or Will I be able to take other images for my Double page spread and perhaps the Contents page?
  3. Do I need to book or organise possible Location in School?(e.g.Hall, Drama Room) or outside school?
  4. We have 3 weeks to complete this task? What plans have you made?
My Pictures are going to be close up shots of a top half and face, close up shots

just for the main image

3. i will use somewhere around the school, with a plain background, for easy editing

Mise-en-scene

  • Lighting (trial and error is the best way of getting it exactly right)
  • Costume
  • Appearance
  • Props for shot
  • Background imagery
  • Colour


The lighting will be a kind of dark, shadowed affect, for like a dramatic effect

The clothing will be a casual look like jeans and a plain top, to fit in with the casual reader who reads the magazine

Appearance: like a not too confident pose, looking away from the camera
Background imagaery: Maybe a dark background with a slighty light, which can reflect a shadow, or maybe just a dark place 

Props: Maybe a guitar to show the genre of the magazine

Colour: Maybe a grey effect, too show like a dull mood
