Media Studies; Analysis of Professional Product for Preliminary Exercise.

Media Studies; Planning the Front Cover Image for your Peliminary Product.

Model:	Thomas Hardwick
Camera height/angle/distance:	Medium shot / straight ahead / approximately 3 metres away
Location:	Seated on a bench by the pond in front of the astroturf.
Lighting:	Nothing added, natural lighting.
Mise-en-scene (including props, costume) :	School uniform, bench, tree in the background.
Attempted connotation:	To show a typical school pupil sitting on one of the many facilities within the school, looking around the school impressed with the facilities.
Planned denotation:	Pupil sat on the bench.
Contingency (in case of model absence/weather):	Take the photo indoors on a different facility that could be demonstrated.
Alternate angle:	Low angle aiming up empowering the model, showing that they are a rising pupil at the school who can accomplish anything whilst at the school.
Thinking points:  Taking photographs with more diverse background scenery, or perhaps having more than once model sitting more naturally in the image to show the social side of the school. That it is a warm environment where people can make friends and easily socialise.
Comments:  Chosen models are representative of the typical student that the school aims to produce; this is in the hope of attracting parents to the magazine and to project the image of success for the school, and also to demonstrate what sorts of things the school can offer to their child.
