Magazine PhotoShoot

After researching magazine covers it was time to start planning my own. I choose to use the main character of our film for he cover photo. I wanted a shot of him holding the gun and pointing it towards the camera as it would look as if hes pointing it at the reader and attract them. The best of the photos I took are below.

The location of the photo shoot wasn't too important as long as there was good lighting. This is because I plan to crop down to a more focused shot of the gun and top of the models body. As you can see I took a range of photos from different angles all with the same idea of the gun facing the camera.

I have chosen to use the photo below because it will fit best onto an A4 sized template after cropping it down. it fits bets because both the head and gun are near each other and do not take up much of the photo so there will be room to add text around it. As well as this the camera is just below eye level so the camera isn't looking up at the model like in the other photos. This is important for an empire magazine this is the style most of their photos follow. Furthermore, there is no shadow blocking the face in this photo unlike some of the others. Finally, the gun is upright and facing in the camera direction better than some of the others.
