AICE Media Studies

I did a red coloring for my masthead because I wanted it to pop out and red give the feeling of fire. 

The first and the last picture are the things that I did to get the final cover photo (the middle picture). I chose this picture as my cover because it gave me the best confidence yet hardworking picture out of all of them. I also wanted a body shot to show off the sweat.

These are the pictures that I took specifically for the main cover page. Once I edit them , I will decide which one to pick. I want to give off a fierce yet confident look, no matter the size you are. 

This was my shot set up and the things that I used. I used the sun as my lighting since I wanted a natural scenery. These were the items that my model mostly used as well.

These were the shots I took as practice. I took a medium shot to give off a fierce look and I took a medium-long shot to look at the features of the body. I will keep taking more shots till I find the right one for the cover page. My next assignment will be taking the actual shot and setting up for it.

After careful consideration, I have finally chosen the colors I will be using for my magazine. For the cover page, I will be using a black background with white and red coloring. Some words will also be in orange and red. The reasoning behind this is the colors reminds me of fire/ fiery. These terms are typically correlated with power. Usually, when one works out, they feel powerful afterwards or when they see results. Indeed, one gains strength so, those colors also reminds me of strength. Colors:  

Furthermore, we also learned different camera angles which can help the way I take pictures. I also included camera movements to show the different type of step that one can take with a camera. each of these angles and movements produce a different of meaning.  tilt: camera tilts in sync with moving object  pan: camera goes from one object or subject to interest to another  zoom: camera pulls in or out to reveal information  dolly: long continuous shot; requires one to be on a cart in order to complete it  eye level: shoot at eye level, no matter the position low angle: below the main part of the subject; exaggerates height signaling power high angle: above the main part of the subject; subject seems weak, insignificant over-the-shoulder: when a conversation is being made, the speaker's full face is shown while the camera is being over the shoulder of the listener 

Over the weeks we have been learning about different materials, and one of them are camera shots. The knowledge of angle shot will come in handy, because I will have a better idea on how to take pictures for my type of magazine. The camera shots include: wide shot: used for settings/ establishes the location. full shot: whole body of a person-to establish a character medium shot: frame a person from the waist and up-closer view of the action  three quarter shot (3/4): frame a person from knees and up long shot: full body at a farther distance head and shoulder shot: from chest and up; it is used as a reaction video  close up: above the shoulders; gives an intimate look extreme close up: the chin to the middle of the forehead; to show tension  two shot: two people in full shot medium two shot: two people in medium shot 

This theory is based on people that seek out information that reinforces their beliefs. If they were to see an article or news that go against their beliefs they will not feed into it. It is said that people like to do this to not feel wrong. The founder of this theory, Joseph Klapper argues that the mass media can not influence people. Typically, their surroundings can influence them, such school and family. The only way that the media can influence people is when a new idea or concept in introduced.

It was developed by Maxwell Mccombs and Donald Shaw. The study was published on 1972. They found a correlation between issues voters believed were important. This theory suggest that the more a news is published the more the people would recognized, meaning they are trying to instill things in oppose to what they believe. They did the study in 1968 with a presidential election in America. media shapes and filter reality  the more the media concentrate on an issue, the more it will seem important
