Still images

Still images - These are the images i have taken in order to make my college magazine. All of the images taken have the same theme: In all of the images taken i have used a medium long shot of the subject studying, in the foreground I have two students being distruptive; I chose to do a realistic front cover image as this is an everyday situation, in which people can relate to, as they are trying to distract her and she is not retaliating and instead continuing with her work.

1)

This image was not high quality enough for me to use as an image for the front page of my magazine, however compared to my final picture I actually used for the front cover, it has all of the original ideas i wanted: the medium long shot of the female and the male helping her was my original idea with the male leaning over her shoulder and helping with maths work, which is why she has a calculator in her hand. However the lighting was not high key therefore failing the standards to be used on the front cover of my magazine.

2)
As the first picture was not usefull, i then took another picture, which clearly from looking at it, is far too dark. The lighting is too low key and the quality is poor. I also positioned the subjects differently, but preferred the original layout of the first image I took.

3)

This is my final image I took, this was the last image and was happy with the standars this is also the image i have used for my front page of my college magazine. This image is very good quality and the lighting is perfect, which highlighs the subjects key features, the subjects in the foreground are also clearly seen without readers being distracted from them and concentrating on something else. From the setting used, it is clear that it is in an institution, making it authentic and usefull for the college students to relate to. Although in the first image I took you can see that the female is being helped and is using a calculator, i changed that idea, so it can be a more versitile magazine and students that chooses subjects other than maths will want to read it. When i used photoshop, there was not much work i needed to do on this still image, i used the spot remover to relegate spots and blemishes on their faces.
