Powerpoint Work

By looking through powerpoint's in my media lessons it has helped me to learnt different things on photography, and how it can effect the image on the front cover of a magazine. During getting taught about the different types of photography we learnt that that the essentials to take a good photographs were;

• The shot distance 
• The use of tilt/angle 
• Eye line (the way the model is looking at the camera) 
• Tone 
• Line 
• Colour, (including vivid and monochromatic)
• Texture 
• Patterns 

By learning this, it helped me when i was taking my own photos, to try and get the right light in the photo and try and i tried to get the eye line of my model to look down the camera, this is so that the model on the front cover of my magazine, is able to get a eye contact mainly with the people that are looking at my magazine. Also to do with photography i learnt different poses on images. The four main poses on the front of magazines are; invitational, super smile, romantic and sexual and chocolate box. The pose that i am planning on using on the front of my magazine is chocolate box, this is because there is no emotion showed on the models face, this doesn't give anything away to the reader. 

Other things that i have learnt by looking through the class powerpoint's are things like 

• Language used in magazines
• What makes up a magazine 
• Primary codes 
• Secondary codes

These things all helped me with what should go inside the magazine, to make my magazine good, and to get it up to the standard that are already on the market.
