My Chosen Final Cut Contents Image 26/4/16

I finally came to the consensus of what image I should use on my contents page with the help of my target audience. All along, one image stood out to me so I was very pleased when my target audience agreed that this would be the most suitable. This image was taken at Whitley Bay Skate Park- a very edgy location which suits the genre of my magazine perfectly. Furthermore, this example of mise-en-scene is very striking due to the graffiti which you can see in the distance.

Image Before Manipulation

Image After Manipulation

On the Photoshop programme, I used the essentials bar to alter my photo in order to make the colours brighter and bolder. In addition to this, as it was a relatively windy day, the models' hair was blown all over the place. I therefore used the clone stamp tool to clone sections of the sky and clouds to fill in any areas where their hair was too messy. I think that on my final contents page, I shall flip the image horizontally so that the image is on the right hand side of the page. This is a common feature in Mojo and NME magazines so I would like to use this convention in Native.
