The main difference in using the camera between the prelim work and the final product is I had a lot more time to use the camera to get as optimal a shot as I could. I got to play around with lighting more too, plus with the more time I had I could spend more time figuring out how to eliminate shadow in the different poses my model was in. I also learned how to use the lens in order to change the zoom of the camera if I wanted a close up shot of the model's face. However, I didn't use any of my close up shots in the magazine itself.
Again, I had more time to put more effort in to editing the magazine. The editing included effects, borders around texts, downloading new fonts off internet websites like Dafont.com that fit the magazine genre and intended atmosphere too. Also, with the practice from the prelim work, I'd already gotten used to how PhotoShop works which made work quicker. One of the main tools I learned to use in Photoshop that made my work more convenient and effective is the path tool and the magnetic lasso. With this I could more precisely crop out something from a background and make the magazine look a lot more professional.
In my prelim, the model's poses weren't very good for the genre so I had to re-think a lot in terms of getting the model to look as if he fit the genre i was going for. The costume was straightforward, black but alternative at the same time. I also got him to look very serious with a silent sense of aggression which fit the punk genre really well too.
