How can I improve my plans?

Use the presentation below to help you evaluate your final plans for your advert.  

Once the controlled assessment has begun, the amount of help a teacher can give is very limited. Please speak to your teacher and even a classmate about anything you are unsure of. 

How confident are you that have the necessary skills/ practice in using Photoshop to complete your advert? If you're unsure please speak to your teacher however, I strongly advice you to  spend some of your lunchtimes and/or after school to come to the media classroom to practice using Photoshop.

P1:Shoe Photography

How you frame and photograph your trainers is very important and will make a real difference to the finished quality of your advert. 

Tip 1

The trainers you are trying to sell is the real star of your advert. It is very common for trainers (shoes), to be framed using a close up or extreme close up.

Tip 2

Another tip is to use a eye level shot (i.e. the camera is placed around the same level as the shoe), or using a slightly high or low angled shot. Whichever you chose it's important to give your reasons.

Tip 3

If you intend to have someone model your trainers, it fine to concentrate on their legs/feet- remember the trainers is the real star. Below are examples of great shoe photography. 

Tip 4

Think really carefully about what background you shot your trainers against. Having a plain background or pre planned background like a park, football; pitch or skate park will save  spending lots of time removing the background.

Tip 5

Another  way in which you can add that professional finish is to organise your trainers in a way that makes it look even more stylish and appealing

Tip 6

If your trainers are aimed at a specific sport, way not try and get an action shot.
