The main picture on the second page was chosen because I didnt want it to be all about the girls. To help this I took the picture with the girls facing away from the camera, looking down on Cabot Circus, making sure that there was a good view. I tried using one of the face on pictures of the girls, but I felt that with the vox pop pictures it would have been too much and would have been less about Cabot Circus so would not have matched as much with the main picture on the front cover.
The second picture on the front page is of a footballer signing a football. I took a variety of pictures, having him look at the camera and at the football. I decided to have him looking at the football, as if he is in the middle of signing it. I also thought it would be good if he was smiling because it is a very positive story, so this needed to be conveyed in the picture. Again, I had to crop this photograph and make it brighter.
My main front cover picture was hard to take because I found it difficult to choose a good angle of Cabot Circus to give it full credit.The shot needed to show as much of it as possible without being boring. I chose to take a picture of the 'centre' of Cabot Circus from above. The reason I chose this is because I thought that it was the most atmospheric area of the shopping centre and the stairs accentuate the grandness of it. It is also one of the most recognisable angles. I made sure that I got some of the architecture in my picture because this was a part of what I wrote about in my article. I managed to include some of the curved glass roof to give readers an idea of what it looks like if they have never been before. The day on which I took this photo was quite dark and wet so I had to make the picture brighter and change the contrast in order to make it look more upbeat and positive as well as being clearer.
