Magazine Cover

Analysis (Shot Type & Angle)This a medium close up, part of her body is shown and her head is shown even though her face is hidden. Its between a mid shot and a close up. This gives the audience a connection with the woman.

The angle is slightly low but close to straight on which shows to the audience she is thoughtful and you can see she is very focused.

Analysis (Mise-en-scene)

• The setting of this picture is laidback but a focus towards the woman working and the stress she is going through. Her costume is very relaxed and the colors are very calm. The props are the paper and pen which indicates she is hard at work. The lighting sets the mood to be like there is no rush.

Analysis (Depth of field & Realistic or Artificial Looking)• The cover has a shallow depth of field taking most

of the focus towards the woman and her action. Most of the background is faded and black so the audience only pays attention to the woman.• This picture is realistic as there are no obvious

picture manipulation or added objects, this helps express the attitude of the woman towards the audience

Analysis (Single Image or Collage & Soft or Hard Focus)• It is a single picture as only the woman and her

props, this once again gives her all the attention from the viewers.• There is a hard focus at the woman but mostly at

her working and not her face, shows emphasis to her dedication o her work.

Analysis (Direct or Indirect Mode of Address & Color Palette & Lighting)

• I find the mode of address to be slightly indirect as there is no product shown only the college but many messages can be picked up from this image depending on the target group.• The colors are mostly dark with some showing of

dark green and yellow.• The lighting is also we dark as there is not many

bright areas of the picture.

Analysis (Text Choices)

• The font style is very neutral with the main text having opposing colors to the background colors with makes it stand out more, also the main text has larger size than the rest. The subheadings are represented in yellow differentiating them from rest of the text.

Analysis (Representation)

• This picture represents are woman whos busy doing her work and were focused. Most the focus is lead towards her work efforts and not the woman herself. With the point being to represent a college, this sends a strong message that students are very engaged and serious with their work.
