Mise en Scene

Mise en Scene

By Stephanie Rallison

     In my photo shoot I used a variety of props to display the image of pop being fun, creative and enjoyable. Firstly I used a guitar this is similar to the guitar used in the magazine Billboard with the music artist Miley Cyrus she has the guitar strapped on her, in my photo shoot I have used a guitar and done a variety of positions including the guitar I asked my first model (Bianca) to pose with the guitar close to her to remake the Billboard design. I even included a position where the guitar is in the air this represents power and breaking free this was only an experiment, I do not plan to use this photo as it doesn’t relate to pop.

     The second prop used is a straw summer hat, I found this prop most useful as it can be used in different ways and by using different positions it can create a mysterious image or a bright image. By including a second model the image it creates a wider image and gives more of a story when I write the article. One model wears bright clothing while the second model wears dark negative clothing this can represent good and bad, two different people in the same photo is contrasting to create different personalities. Towards the end of my photo shoot I include the hat more making it a symbol of pop; I like how the hat was used to cover part of my face creating a hidden side to the models life.

     Next I introduced my main prop of a red microphone the bright colour draws attention to the reader, a photo of my first model screaming into the microphone represents how she wants to break free. This photo is interesting but I will not include it in my magazine as it does not relate to the fun image of pop.

A combination of the straw summer hat and the microphone brings the genre pop and music together, I will use this photo in my magazine as it represents this very clearly and gives a great effect as it doesn’t include a model.

     My second model (Catherine) poses with the microphone facing towards the camera this is engaging the audience, and makes the photo more interesting.

     There is a change in the clothing I first wear a yellow jumper the colour representing a happy, fun environment. Next I change into a white jumper as it represents peace and a neutral atmosphere.

I have been working on my mood board and my poll results however I find I am thinking of ideas for my photoshoot now but finding it hard to organise. I was hoping to include a modal but trying to organise a suitable date to complete my ideas is proving difficulty, my next step is to do it after school during the week.

Diary Entry Week 6

This week I am planning to do a photoshoot for my magazine, I have a consent form and I am planning to use music props in my photoshoot to create a fun pop image as this would attract my audience more. I have completed my results for my Poll, and I am currently making a mood board for my magazine based on everything classified as pop or related to pop.

Audience Profile

Audience Profile

By Stephanie Rallison

     From my poll results I have learned more about what is most favoured to have in a music magazine from how the front cover should be displayed, to what is most interesting page to read in ta music magazine. I used a different sort of media from my other forms, by using a most common social network site (Facebook) I was able to advertise my Poll there by getting more results from my target audience. The results came clear to me how my magazine should be set, I have learned my front cover should be set with a variety of images and titles scattered around the cover as my results showed 40% of the votes prefered this layout. Also the most interesting part to a music magazine is interviews with music artists as the results showed 90% find this part of a magazine interesting along with a 60% vote for music news, from this I can see the audience likes to know more about their artists and their songs also anything happening in the music business. Furthermore the people strongly voted that they would only spend between £1-£2 on a magazine, this reflects on the quality of the magazine aswell. The style of music I will be focussing on is Pop as 50% of people would read a pop music magazine compared to the 20% who would prefer to read a Heavy metal genre. Lastely a monthly magazine is better suited for my audience as more information can be given and from my poll 70% of my audience would prefer to only read a monthly magazine this could reflect on the price of the magazines they read.

     I was interested how my target audience get their music as tchnology is key to the music industry, only 30% of people convert music from Youtube and 50% use another form of obtaining music, this shows how music has developed and how it is easier to get music sometimes free. Also I wondered how my audience keeps up to date with new music being released and 55% of my results show they find new music from the music channels on television and 40% of my audience find out from their friends. Finaly I asked the question "what do you keep your music on?" 60% said on a form of ipod, from that I can see how new technology adds to the production of music and also helps to advertise music to the public.

Diary Entry Week 5

With my Name Ideas finished I have a more clear idea about how my magazine will be structured. Also my poll results are finaly finished, I managed to get more results by using a social network site this aloud my results to be more accurate.
