Potential Problems With My Coursework

Front cover images:

Problems with the lighting

(Problems with the camera flash):

When taking photographs in the past (particularly in the dark) I have noticed that the flash on my camera makes things look pretty bad. In order to fix this I will try to stay to places where my flash is not needed, or if I do need to use a dark area (for example, to get the dark background I wanted so I could make the text contrast it easily) I would try and make sure the flash doesn’t ruin the image by positioning my model in a way were it is not noticeable or where the flash being bad adds to the theme of the image (this being a Halloween issue means that poor quality lighting of the flash might make it work more).

Problems with the background (colour, etc.):

When taking my photographs for my magazine I will have to make sure the background is correct. You wouldn’t have a front cover photo with the background as just someone’s house. I will need to find somewhere where there is one solid background colour (for example using a white wall).

Article Inside Magazine

Language:

When writing my Article for my double page spread I will have to think about what language I use. A rock music magazine isn’t likely to use very formal language. Therefore I will have to think about what kind of language I use and if it is appropriate.

Techniques:

Another thing I will have to think about when writing the article is what kind of things I would use or more importantly how I will include it into the article. Things like pull quote or other things to make the article better and more professional. I will have to consider careful where to put them and how I can put them in.

Amount:

A less important thing I will have to think about is how much I write for my article. It isn’t too difficult as there isn’t really a certain amount, simply not too little and not too much. 

Images to accompany article

Editing:

One thing I will have to consider is that these images will have to be smaller than the front cover ones, however when taking them with the camera they will be the same size. This will mean I will have to manually make them smaller using Photoshop. I will have to make sure that I don't use images where the quality is effected by this (at least not noticeably). More importantly I will have to make sure that the images I use will still look okay and be easy to see and look good after the size has been decreased.
