1. Planning the front cover image
Agency Name Shutter Speed Productions
Model Antonia Blakeman
Camera height/angle/distance Eye Level
Medium Shot
Approx. 5m away from model
Location
School Stairway
Backup: School Library
Lighting Use available light on location for the first part of
the photo shoot (i.e. light bulbs)
Use external device, a flash light, to maximise
the light in the image to create a fully lit up
image.
Mise-en-scene (incl. props, costume)
Drama Mask (Comedy/Tragedy)
Backup: Rubik’s Cube
Attempted connotation
With the use of a drama mask, I am trying to say
that there is drama in school life. This is
connected to the coverline which will read
something along the lines of ‘how to cope with
the drama in your life, including school’.
Backup: If the Rubik’s Cube is used, the
attempted connotation will be that the student
has ‘cracked’ the way of coping with drama, not
just in her school life, due to the successful
completion of the Rubik’s Cube in the image.
Planned denotation
A student with a drama mask near her sitting
against a coloured background.
Backup: A student has a successfully completed
Rubik’s Cube in her hand, sitting against a
coloured background.
