PROBLEMS

Overview:

• After taking into consideration my peer’s feedback and personally overviewing my blog, I have decided to reshoot my photographs due to the fact that I believe they are of an unsuitable standard and are bringing down the overall ethos of my magazine. As a result of this my products will consist of a new model, better lighting and different outfits.

Poor Quality Images:When it came to edit my videos it was very difficult with regards to the fact that the images consisted of incredibly poor lighting and poor location choice on my behalf.

Image one shows a cable running into the shot, despite the fact that this could be edited out, it causes unnecessary hassle for myself as it is much easier to simply reshoot the pictures to a higher standard, allowing me to simply edit the images to suit my magazine as opposed to fiddling about removing unwanted items from the shot.

There is also a large shadow glowing around my model which makes editing out the background particularly hard. This then brings down the whole contrast of the image, making it look incredibly poor quality, dull and unprofessional.

Poor Quality Images:

Once again the poor framing of the shot has incorporated unnecessary background features into the image which could have been easily avoided. When taking these images it is as though I was more concerned with the models outfit that I forgot to ensure that the location surrounding her was clear from all protruding items.

As the above picture reiterates, the shadows are once again very prominent in the images reinforcing the consistent bad

quality of the full batch of images.

How to avoid this happening again:

When shooting my images for the second time I will ensure that I make full use of the studio lights that the college has to offer and make sure all surrounding areas are free from unrequired items in the shot.

To make editing or manipulating the images easier, I will take my images with my model against a plain white wall which will not encourage shadows of any sort as I will ensure that the lighting is perfectly accurate before beginning the shoot.

With regards to mise en scene I will also ensure that the genre is equally as prominent as that shown in the first batch of images.
