Journal 'Critical Reflection' on Shoot (Billboard)

For my billboard the images that I was going to use was from St Michael's Mount which was where I started my photoshoot. Because I was focusing on my billboard in this area I wanted to get the majority of my photos landscape and appealing to the eye from a quick glance as many people will only quickly view a billboard.

 This image was taken beside the notorious St Michael's Mount. As St Michael's Mount is surrounding by water I thought that there may be many scenarios in which 'youths' are partaking in water based activities. Although I did capture this image in which there is presumably a father and son walking in the shallow depths of the sea. I feel like as this image does not include a 'youth' it may not appeal to my target audience. But then again this image does really advertise the location and the fact that it can be a family experience. When reaching your teenage years, for many, its the last years you spend constantly with your parents and therefore this could advertise a good experience for a family while they can. 

This is a landscape shot of St Michael's Mount with the causeway making an appearance. This image captured a lot of light bouncing off the shadow sea and the causeway giving the image a not very nice gaze although I feel like this image could still work through editing. I do like how bright and vibrant this image is and additional bright colours and images will attract to my target audience. 

This is another long shot of st Michael's Mount. This landscape photo like the one above has a lot of dead space around the main focus (St Michael's Mount). This dead space is where I can put my catch line to draw people in. As people are not going to view my billboard for very long this text can't be very long but I have left enough dead space on the top half of the image to have some bold catch line. Furthermore I wanted the rock in the foreground where I will be able to put the title of my magazine, this will not be the main focus point of my billboard but I feel like it should make an appearance to get the name out and this photo complements that idea.
