Photography Analysis for Film Magazine Front Cover


Photo 1
A front-close up shot of the model with minimum front lighting to create chiaroscuro but only just very minimal. The photography style used for 'Sight and Sound' film magazine mainly consists of front-shot images which are either a close-up, mid-shot or head-shot. 

The photography didn't work out as planned since shot shows the top of her head being cut off; making it unusable for the front cover of the film magazine since the shot needs to show the complete head or it will make the front look very unprofessional.









Photo 2
This photography looks more preferable to use for a front cover magazine since there is front lighting from an angle thus creating shadows on the other side of her face. The lighting is able to show her facial expression which will link with the headline for the front cover since 'Sight and Sound' magazine uses their emotional-facial expression to link with the main story headline.

However, the problem lies with the facial expression the model is putting on. I've requested for an more determined expression but for this one; she was caught on the camera shot with a slight smile. This makes it unusable for the film front cover magazine since it won't link with the headline for the main story.






Photo 3
This photograph has the same preferences mentioned for photo 2. The lighting from an angle with the shadowing on the side of her face went as planned still.

Although, the only difference is the facial expression she uses. It symbolises more of a determined and serious look thus; it will link with the headline story for the film magazine. The shot used will make the front cover look more professional and similar to the style 'Sight and Sound' uses for the front cover of their magazine.
