Photos of Possible Locations
I have chosen 4 possible locations for where I want to take pictures for my music magazine, mainly pictures for my front cover so I can select the perfect image to disply on the front cover of my magazine. The 4 locations are a brick wall, a field, a shed wall and a bridge.
Brick Wall
A brick wall offers a plain background that doesn't distract the audience from the model on the front cover. It also offers a bright background that will accentuate the model on the front cover, as it will bring out the models bright eyes and clothing. Overall this is a fairly simple and effective location for my front cover picture to be taken.
Field
A field offers a plain background for a picture to be taken, depending on the location in the field. The grass will brighten up the picture and make the model seem more vibrant in the picture that will be taken. As well as this, there are trees in this field meaning that there a lot of different possibilities for backgrounds for the picture. The model could be placed in front of the bark of the tree, which would create an interesting background with the colours of the bark. Also, the leaves on the tree could generate an interesting effect to the image which could be an option. Overall, this option offers more variety but I don't think I will take the picture for my front cover in a field.
Shed Wall
A shed wall would be an interesting background for my front cover image for my music magazine. The colours of the wall could help emphasise the model and her bright features such as her eyes and clothes. It would also highlight the model well, as the background wouldn't take away from the model. Overall this location is one I will take into consideration for my front cover image because the background is plain, and it would exhibit my model effectively in the picture.
Bridge
A bridge would be compelling for the target audience for the location of my front cover image, as it offers different dynamics. This is because there are different backgrounds to a bridge location. For instance, the picture below is a bridge with the London eye behind it, which would be an effective and striking image to use. However, this background is dependant on lighting which would make it difficult to get the perfect lighting needed for the picture. Overall, the location for the front cover picture would be ideal, but the lighting would be difficult to manipulate, so I won't be taking this location into consideration.
