Shooting session for magazine cover

Here is the picture that I chose for my magazine cover:

I chose this picture because I like the way that she is holding on to teddy bear, it shows her vulnerability and how young she is. I also like the way that she's looking and posing for the camera but in costume of her character, this is what most magazine covers do. It lets the audience feel involved with the film, they feel like the actor is looking at them and advertising is targeted at them.

Here are some other pictures that I took during the shooting session for my magazine cover, I wanted a choice of different pictures so I had flexibility whilst editing:

In the first picture, I had the girl looking at the camera with her teddy bear and her bag, two things from the teaser trailer and the poster. But I didn't feel that it worked for my magazine cover. I think that it looked far too similar to my poster and therefore I decided not to use it, I wanted something that had synergy to the poster and the trailer but that was also individual and had its own design.

In the second picture, I had the girl with her teddy bear from a side angle, this is similar to the picture that I chose for my magazine cover. I tried it from a few different angles and I liked them all but I felt that the one I chose looked best and fitted better with "Little White Lies"

Finally, in the third picture, I had a similar position to the first picture: the girl with her teddy bear and bag, outside her front door. But she wasn't looking at the camera for this one and so I felt that it didn't look like a magazine cover. Also, I feel that it didn't feel professional and real enough for "Little White Lies".

Overall, I feel that our final shooting session for "Home" went really well, I was really pleased with the pictures that I took. I am glad that I experimented with different shots and angles, it gave the opportunity to play around with lots of different effects and covers whilst editing.
