 in our media lesson today we were  making out own nature magazine front cover where we were applying all the skills that we had learned  on Tuesday about using photo shop to change a photo and  apply editing that we see fit that a photo needs. 

 Firstly we were each given digital cameras for us to go and take pictures of different nature that surrounds. we were each assigned to different groups to work with. Within my group there was Kiera and Letisha. We all went out and began to take pictures of  the nature surrounding us. In my group we came up  with an aim to  take pictures from different camera angles then from those angles we will have a variety of  photos to each choose from. we selected four different types of  camera shots (long shot, close up, looking down shot,very close up shot,) to take with all  the iconography of  the nature that  we were taken.

 Once we had taken all our photos we each choose  individual photos that we selected as our front cover magazine.  For my  nature magazine front cover i used a close up camera shot i choose this because i just wanted the animals itself  and the water that surrounding them and didn't and anything else in the mise en seen. for my nature magazine the lighting i changed to black and white and very bright lighting because i wanted to emphases freedom as though a light is  the ending of all troubles. i used yellow writing account of it stands out on a black and white backing.  around the animals i used shadowing so they stand out and u instantly are attracted to them , they are the first thing that appeal to the reader who looks at it. the front cover magazine is A4 size. for the caption of the cover i used THE PURITY OF PEACE AND LOVE. this i used because the swans are lightened to look pure  and in a heart shape. the second caption that i used  DESIRES FULFILLED, this i use because its has though that freedom has finally being reached. the front cover represents love and peace then freedom on the other hand.
