Magazine Shots taken/mise-en-scene

These are the images my partner took for the front cover of the magazine. She shot them on a Cannon camera on a white backdrop (in the studio). She had the model try two different costumes, one with a black top and another with a over sized blue jumper.

 Close Mid Shot: This first image has a playful tone as the model is smirking and looking up. Although the lighting works well the tone is not what we want for our magazine.  

 Close Mid Shot: In this image the model looks out to the audience and is smiling with her eyes but not with her mouth. I like the idea of the model looking to the camera but the lighting could be more dramatic. 

Close Mid Shot: This is the image we ended up using, the model looks straight out to the audience and has lots of negative space around her, making her seem isolated.  

Close Mid Shot: this shot was taken from a slight lower angle and has the model tilting her head to the side slightly. 

 Close Mid Shot: this shot is taken from a side angle, the model still looks at the camera and seems as though she is hiding something.

 Close Mid Shot: she now looks away from the camera with her mouth open as if she is scared. I like this image but if we wish to add effects on top later it may be harder to see. 

 Close Up: the model looks at the camera here and has slight open mouth to show shock. She also has a different outfit on which I think has a weaker effect because of it's light colour.  

 Close Mid Shot: this last shot has the actress looking confidently at the camera, this does not match the characters personality and therefore was not used.

Overall I think my partner got some good shots but the image need to be enhanced to get the full effect. The next stage is to begin layout and Photoshop work.
