Photo analysis and draft

First photo (one I chose)

This was the first picture I took and it is in mid shot. I chose this because he looks smart and happy which promotes the sixth form in a good light. It's a direct gaze to make a connection between him and the audience, it is also in good lighting which shows a positive light to the sixth form and has the sixth form sign in the background so it is relevant.

Second photo

This was the second photo I took and it is also in mid shot. This is a good photo because he looks smart and is laughing which shows he has a good time at sixth form. It's an indirect gaze which I didn't chose because I think that a direct gaze is a better choice for this magazine because it needs to intrigue the audience. It is in the first place as the first photo so it also has good lighting and has the sixth form sign in the background.















Third photo

This was the third photo I took, which is also in mid shot. I didn't chose this as my final picture because it is in an irrelevant location and has quite bad lightning. It has a direct gaze like the first photo which intrigues the audience. Obviously as he is wearing the same outfit as the first photo then he is looking smart which regards him as a positive aspiration to other students and future students.

Conclusion

I will be using the first photo that I took of him. I came to this judgement because in my opinion I think that it is the best of the three I took. This is because it follows all the forms and conventions of a sixth form magazine. It has good lighting which is a must for an image needed for a front cover to attract the audience, he also looks smart which puts a positive light to the audience of the magazine because it shows off our sixth form as classy and professional.
