Photographs for school magazine, contents page.

 This photograph is of a year 8 music lesson, rather than doing my main image as help! year 7, I will do it of this as it truly shows the fun nature of the music lessons.
 I took this photograph for the sports part of the contents page, it is similar to the one which I included in my front cover, however it is different.
 This photograph shows two year 7 students who are helping the receptionists for the day, I included this to help with the story on subject ambassadors.
This photograph is of a ticket from Berlin Museum which was on display, this goes with the 'trips' heading and shows the trip to Berlin.

Photographs for my school magazine front cover.

This photograph is used for my main image on my school magazine front cover. I took the picture in the library as this is a prominent location in the school which everyone recognises.
I took this photograph of one of the year 13 subject ambassadors, I used the background as all the charity work that sixth form do in order to obtain the positive attitude that is in this picture.
This photograph is of a year 7, I have made her stand above where I was in this specific pose in order to connote power, as this photograph goes with the help! year 7 article which gives year 7s a sense of hope and power.

This picture is of a year 12 Sociology class, I used this one in order to accentuate how hard-working the sixth form are, and to be included inside the magazine.
This photograph is of sports, I wanted to catch year 9's playing sports as this shows how much sports is a big deal in schools.

Rough layout of contents page

This is a rough sketch of my school magazine contents page, I have included featured articles and the other bulk of the magazine, and included which images are going to be on the contents page.

Rough layout of front cover

This is a rough sketch of my school magazine front cover, I have included which images are said to be in the specific places and the masthead of the front cover.

Plans for front cover

Title: Weatherhead news
Mis-en-scene: A main image of a Weatherhead student, to represent the school and the style of the magazine.
The front cover main image will be of a picture of a student, preferably outside the school, if not outside then someone recognisable inside the school. My front cover will include 3 columns, I will also include other images to let the target audience aware of what else I am including in my school magazine. The other images will be of:
  • The SSLT (head girl etc)
  • Students working
  • Drama GCSE class
  • Class of sixth form
  • Astro turf
I will also include a bar along the bottom of the magazine including what else I will include in the magazine.

Camera angles

I photographed many examples of different camera angles. This is because I used these images below as practice images so when I photographed my real images, I had some knowledge about what camera angles to use and what would look best, which would therefore make my work appear better.
