Photo analysis- Preliminary

I used this picture on my front cover as it again conveys the school genre. The two girls being shown in the picture are studying hard, showing the hard working atmosphere being put in at the school.This shown through the fact they are looking through books, but also through the instinctive looks.  This is key as it conveys a hardworking edge about them which could signify that the magazine is going to be a good one. In a way this picture is used to establish the background, conveying that it is a establishing shot. However, at the same time, it is also a medium shot, which allows the audience to draw focus on the students but also to their actions. The medium shot also allows the audience to see the props that make the picture more detailed. It is rather darker than other pictures that I have analysed, therefore it could label that this is quite a serious picture. The props in this picture however, are the most important factor, as they are showing to the audience that this is a hardworking place. The fact there are a lot of books helps to convey that they are really hardworking and are taking school seriously. Mise En Scene is considered really highly in this picture, a massive factor in the planning of taking photographs. Overall, I think that this is a good photo to use, as it focuses enticingly on the two girls working hard, which would give the audience a good attitude by the magazine and are more likely to purchase it.
