Magazine Mock up Blog.

The way i framed my image was that i positioned the model in the center of the image so i could easily crop it, or have enough room to create added effects like the headline etc. I used a direct shot, with a slight tint from above to create a more of a luring image as if to say something else is behind the image, like theres a background towards why this picture was taken. Controlling my model was easy i knew the type of effect i wanted to give off, so it was basically just positioning her in the right place and giving the right direction for her to follow, which in my opinion went very well, since i'm used to being on the other side of the camera, it was something new for me to encounter.

I didn't have to change the ISO levels because i had enough light to make the effect i needed, however if i did use the light it would have created a more scuttle effect and that wasn't the image i was going for. It was more of a dull and mysterious look, therefore i used shading in my image. I think a problem with my image would be the background, it doesn't quiet fit with the tone of the image, however there is still some mystery to why she is sitting on some old stares with no-one around? so it could work well in that area. If i was to choose a better location it would be somewhere like an alley way or even a skate park or something that gives off a feeling like them locations.

Front Lighting and Side Lighting.

 Side lighting is used to create more of an intensity on one side of the models face rather than the other. For example one side of their face would be shaded, the other in complete light. This type of lighting is suited for young women with smooth skin and regular face features. On the other hand its good for men who have rugged facial features to emphasis them more.

Shutter Speed.

Shutter speeds are one of several methods used to control the amount of light recorded by the camera's digital sensor or film. It is also used to manipulate the visual effects of the final image. For example, for it to sharpen certain objects or people, and make them stand out. Or capture some movement to the picture. 

There are two types of shutter speeds, fast and slow. You would use these both to create two different effects. Using a slow shutter speed will enable you to create a visual sense of movement. For example taking a picture of someone playing snooker, when the balls smack into each other and separate, you will be able to see the movement of the balls. On the other hand, using a fast shutter speed will enable you to have a moving subject to appear unnaturally frozen. For example, a running person may be caught with both feet in the air with all movement lost, in somewhat a freeze frame. 

Above.
This is an example of slow shutter speed. What was done was i had two people spinning the slights and had the camera set to a slow shutter speed, this enabled it to capture the lights in the air and what effect they created. If i did the same thing with the fast shutter speed, it wouldn't have this effects with the lights.

In my opinion for this image above, it wouldn't need much more doing to it, because i think the capturing of the image is well put together. However to me it looks a bit messy, but thats just the effect of the lights when spinning.



To the right.
This is my example of a fast shutter speed. I had heather jump into the air flinging leaves whilst she did. The camera captured her just before she jumped, but still when shes not touching the ground, and when the leaves are in mid air. Therefore it looks as though there is no movement coming from her or the leaves.

If i was to take this image again, i would be more careful when pressing the button to take the image. This is because if i took it a little bit more later, i would have had her in mid air and it would of gave off a better effect.
I would also take this image at a different time of the day, i would do this because this image would give off a better effect when its lighter, as at the moment its dull, and wouldn't catch your eye.


My targets for next time would be to be a bit more adventurous with the camera effects, and also the ISO settings more, to give off a brighter look. Also i would be more careful with the setting of the image, as in to use the right lighting and background etc, to make it to the highest quality i can to capture the best image and get people wanting to see it.
