Images that I will be using on my contents page

The images that I will be using are two images. One will be of a PE lesson outdoors and one will be of two happy 6th formers smiling happily. The characters in the PE image will be year 8 students partaking in a football game. The other image will be taken in a classroom within a school environment.







This image will be the image that i use on my front cover of my magazine. I have mistakenly deleted the image prior to editing from my camera and desktop. I used the eraser tool to erase the background of the image; I had to use the eraser tool due to the fact that the magic wand tool didn't allow for the lack of contrasting colours from the background and my actor. 










This image will be a feature in my front cover to give an overview of the contents and one of the leading stories.

Mise En Scene

Mise En Scene

Location
The Location for the shot would inside a Design Technology classroom in The Oldershaw Academy. I picked this image because it creates a hard-working visualisation for the school; this being due to the fact that the actor in the image is working hard sanding a piece of acrylic. The image suits the use also becuase it is relative in terms of its use of the rule of 3.
Actors
The Actor for this shot is myself, Bradley Barker. I have used myself as the actor simply because it is easier to direct myself in the picture and tell somebody else how I want the image taking; than vice versa.
Camera Shot
The shot is taken from the left-hand-side of the actor and is taken using a tilt-shot from a slight above angle. The image suits also, because it is relative in terms of its use of the rule of 3. The actor is slightly over to the right-hand-side of the image thus allowing to have text on the left hand-side of the image.
Costumes
The costume that was used was a lab coat from Design Technology, this allowed the image to evoke the sophistication of the school.
Props
In this image, I used a prop of a piece of acrylic plastic in order to look like i was using the machinery.
Narrative
This image will have a narrative that suggests that the school has a very highly qualified Design Technology department. It also suggests that the students are very happy because the actor is smiling.
