SELECTION AND REJECTIONFrom photo shoot 1.

SELECTION LIST FOR FRONT COVER

These are part of my selection list because the lighting on all 3 are good. These would be suitable for my front cover because in all images, all 4 boys look suitable and well posed for a cover shot. In all images I would need to replace the background and brighten their faces. Although the background would be plain white it would contrast well with the black clothing which I asked them to wear.

In the two images which I took where the boys looked casual, they still look happy which means that it is suitable.

In conclusion, you will see that some other images I took for my front cover are not suitable because of facial expressions, blur and lighting issues.

REJECTION LIST FOR FRONT COVER

These two images were the only two images which made it to my final ideas and therefore my rejection list. The other images I took for my front cover were all unsuitable (apart from those on my Selection list) because of bad lighting and wrong camera settings. You can see these on my Slidely that I made of all the images from the shoot.

The top image, in my opinion, is unsuitable because one member of the band is looking away which isn’t a good portrayal of a new band as all members would need to be facing the camera and looking professional.

The second image (bottom) is unsuitable because one member is yawning which is also a bad image for a new band to be recognised by. In addition, it implies that he is bored – which is definitely the wrong portrayal for a new band. Also, another member is looking down which suggests that he is unprofessional.

REJECTION LIST FOR DPS/CONTENTS These images I took were either for my Contents page or my

DPS.

These images are part of my rejection list because the lighting isn’t suitable for the DPS or contents. Also, the positioning of the boys isn’t good because the models are not looking into the camera which breaks too many conventions to be suitable for my media product.

The other images that can be found on my slidely were not suitable at all because the lighting, positioning of models, pose, facial expressions and their eyes were not acceptable to be used in my media product, at all. This means that the images would break too many conventions so that certain institutions (in this case IPC Media) would not want to invest my magazine. In addition, the images do not making the models look like a stereotypical musician although “Stereotypes are not simple”.
