The Caterhamian.

This magazine cover is for Caterham School. I think it has a unique and interesting mise-en-scene. The mise-en-scene is basically alot of boxes within the frame. Some include words and some include pictures. I like this mise-en-scene because it is different and a creative design. The masthead is situated at the top of the cover in a black box, which separates and stands out from the rest of the mise-en-scene. The captions on this cover are different to what you would expect them to look like. There is one at the bottom saying "Education for Life" whilst there are words such as "create", "achieve", "inspire" and "trust". These short captions are situated in text boxes within the mise-en-scene. The images are of students playing sports, being happy and participating with activities to show the excitement and fun that goes on within this school. As the images aren't planned and are taken at that moment, the lighting is either the natural daylight or room light, available at the time. No special studio lighting has been used. Apart from the black box of which the masthead is situated in, the colour palette is quite light and pale with colours such as blue, lilac and yellow. There are all pale though which is what makes the masthead stand out so much. The audience would mainly be the students and parents.
