Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene

For the general College magazine, I'm having a female or male student, which will show that it is appealing to the student audience. The sun should be shining in order to make the magazine look positive and more attractive to the audience (a rainy day photo would look depressing and might put the audience off). The headline will be "Highest Attendance Records this year". To match this, the main image will be a student holding a folder implying to the audience that she is ready to learn. She should be smiling at the camera to show that she is enjoying learning at Wyke and enjoys attending. She should also have a rucksack and should be in casual clothing to show that she is just an ordinary, hard working student. Students should be out of focus in the background to show that attendance is at a high.

Layers

Layers are the different levels at which you can place an image. For example, if I put the layer with the A4 sized red box over my college image. I will hide the college image.


(Select a layer by clicking on it, it turns blue when selected)


























Selection Methods



These are 2 of the 3 select tools:

The Quick selection allows you to select a part of an image which you have previously clicked.

The Magic wand tool allows you to select a part of an image based on the tone of colour.





The Lasso tool is another select tool which allows you to select the part of an image which you have drawn around.

My Practice Magazine



I copied the student using the select tool: Lasso, i then pasted the student onto the college background.








I then selected the College layer then selected Filter, Blur, Gaussian Blur. I then changed the intensity of the blur.










I then inserted a purple box and changed the opacity of the layer to 72%. I then double clicked the layer and selected Stroke, to choose the border of the banner/ masthead.








I then added Text and changed the colour and Font.









Then by using the same techniques, i was able to complete my college magazine cover. I added a Plug, Cover Line and Footer.
