Production Tip

Production tip

In todays lesson, the first task was to read the production tips on how to get a perfect image. I then had to put the definitions into my own words (see below). The next task was to explain how I would use each section when taking my image for the front cover of the magazine.

Conception:

Ensure that the images are appropriate for the magazine that is being constructed together. I have chosen to use a picture of "shoes" walking in to school as the focal point because this will express someone walking into school for the day ahead, with some blurred background of the school. This ensure the school theme of the magazine. I will implement this by ensuring that the image is appropriate for the magazine. I will spend time planning the image taken and plan where it will be on the front cover of the magazine this will ensure that the image is the right image for the magazine/.

Framing and composition:

I will take a lot of pictures to ensure I can get a variety of images which I can then choose to be the right one to work on the magazine.  I should be able to adjust by cropping and editing if needed.  Ensure that the angle is the right one needed for the shot. Make sure there is a focus and what will the focus be.  I will implement this production tip by cropping and editing the feet to ensure that the sense of school, and this will be used by editing and blurring the background of the image because the focal point is the shoes walking. This image will be taken with the feet being in the focal point of the lens which will ensure that this is the centre of the image.  The image will be a flat angle view as it is an image of the shoes walking into school.

Shot distance:

The shot distance needs to be spot on to create the perfect shot for the magazine, for example the “zoom function” will allow for a variety of possible distances from the subject of choice. I will implement this production tip  by ensuring the  distance from where I am standing is the right distance for how I want the image to look.  

Mise en Scene:

This term means “putting into the scene” this describes the creative choices the image may have. This has to include:

·         Lighting                               

·         Costume

·         Appearance

·         Props for the shot

·         Background imagery

·         Colour

In the image,  I will insure that the background imagery is of the school but is blurry because the main focal point is going to be the shoes of someone walking into the school.

Colour and resolution:

The image will not look the same once printed so the quality will be different to the original image taken. The printing will determine if the colours will work and the final resolution. This will give a sense of what the photograph will translate into a printed outcome.  I will use this in advice to when taking the image, this is because, I will need to remember that the image might not have the same colours as in the actual picture as when printed. The colour may come out different so I need to ensure the colours that are kept in the image are not going to change a lot so that the image doesn't look how I wanted it to.
