This is the picture Zara and I have decided to use as our main image on our front cover. It was taken against a wall at my house and i have placed a pillow up my jumper to make me look pregnant! We shot the picture at a mid close range as this is how we have seen pictures on front covers on existing magazine soap magazines, allowing audiences to see the disturbed expression on my face, and my bloated stomoch.
I have chosen these three pictures out of a collection that we took of mine and Zara's friend Ellie-May, at her house in Dartford. We found a white wall in her house to take it against and asked her to pose in a serious expression. This photo is going to be one of the many featured on the magazine cover, which conventionally is cluttered with pictures.
This photograph was taken at Wilmington Boys School, and is of Joe Malloy, another friend of mine and Zara's. The shot was very last minute as none of the boys we asked were very keen to have their photograph taken for some reason. This shot was also against a white wall as it eases the editing process.
This is my favourite photo that we took during the whole process. The photo of Simon and Tom together looking in different directions shows their different characters, also aided by their dress.
This was another successful image of the three of us together, my positioning in between the two of them in a wide shot presenting the storyline in imagery. The only thing disappointing about this image is the fact that you can see Tom beginning to laugh, which happened a lot during the shoot by him and Simon!
This image of Tiffany and Emily, also members of my media class, was taken on a different day to the others and was due to total spontaneity. I love the expression on both their faces which conveys alot of emotion, shown clearly by the close-up shot. I think this image will contrast nicely to the others because it was taken on a different camera the image quality is different, this shot being much more like one that has been lifted from a filming shot from an actual soap. Next to the posed photographs it will contrast which is a common convention of existing TV soap mags.
