Photos

This image was taken to show a high angle shot , i think that the picture is at the correct angle , however i think that the lighting could be brightened to show a clearer image of the people. Also i think that the framing of the picture was done nicely , as the people are directly in the middle of the photo with equal spacing around them.
This image was taken to show a high angle shot , i think that if i was to do the picture again i would take it from slighyly higher up to show a deffinate higher angle. I think that the lighting could be contrast could be decreased  to show a less brighter image of the people.



Photography task...
For one of our lessons we had a photography task , which we learnt basic camera angles and how to achieve them using a camera. Some our the angles we attempted include ; high and low angles , close ups etc. The use of this was to understand how to use the camera for when we have to take our own shots for the 'college magazine'. I think that it was useful as now i know which shots would be the best to use and why they would be useful.

The idea is this ...

So i'm writing my first blog for my music magazine coursework project. Over a period of time , I will be uploading how I have been building up ideas for it. I like many genres of music , however particular favourites are bands such as Lostprophets , You Me At Six , 30 Seconds To Mars , The Script and Biffy Clyro. The most likely choice of magazine for me to study is one like kerrang or Q which are likely to feature bands like them. Kerrang magazine targets individuals who like rock and heavy metals type genres , this particular magazine is stereotyped as being a 'goth' or an 'emo' magazine , however it now targets all audiences , which in turn would increase magazine ratings being open to a wider range of people.
