Mini Photo Analysis

There are several types of photographs in a newspaper including posed, action (which is not posed) and the photos sent by either a professional or amateur photographer. In my own publication I will need to take all of the photographs myself, rather than using ones from other sources, for example, photobucket.

This photo is evidently posed and matches the story below it.
The composition has been made in order to summarise or suggest what the story is about. If looking at this picture without the headline or story I would say it was a school related piece to do with the recent academy debates in the UK.
Also I would say that it was most likely to be positive news because the 'models' are smiling
Note - I have blurred out the faces in this so nobody recognises the 'models'

In contrast to the previous, this was taken as the action was happening.
This kind of shot is normally used for a review or for a story that has not been completely planned, for example a riot. Additionally, this type of shot would often be used for crime related stories, for example when a person involved is giving a public statement during, before or after a court case.
