In order to get an idea of the types of framings that could be used on a magazine, I did a practice shoot before taking my final photographs for the cover of my college magazine.
The shots that i needed to include were:
- Extreme close-up
- Close-up
- Medium close-up
- Long shot
- High angle
- Low angle
- Two shot
- Framed left
- Framed right
- Central image
I also applied what i learned about camera framing in Film Studies and included two other types of shots: a medium shot and a medium long shot.
In order to take these, I had my friend stand in front of a lit white wall in order to make it look like it was taken in a studio, giving it a sense of professionalism. I then edited the raw images, cropping them so that the composition and black and white effect made them look appealing. Then, I named and organised them so that they could be uploaded easier.
These photos were the best ones out of the 100+ I took. i had at least one for every camera type, and taking these helped me to gain a lot more insight into how a portrait image could be framed for the front cover of a magazine. I will definitely use what I have learnt in this task, such as camera framing and picture composition, when taking and editing the final image for my front cover. However, if my final image does not turn out as expected, some of these photos may work well as the main image on my college magazine as they are quite suitable for the criteria.
