Research and planning-Test shots with SLR camera

This is a picture of Abbey and Gabby which I have took inside of college. In here it is low key lighting because it's a bit dark on the background and the camera was kind of right on her face which made her face look really bright, this isn't a good picture because if it was for one person then it wouldn't look good with people on the background.

This is a picture which was also taken this is also a low key lighting as the background is dark, but the picture was taken too close to the person which made it really bright.



This is a picture also taken inside so it looks like a low key lighting as it is inside in the dark, this picture can be used as it is a normal pose picture which looks good to be put on the magazine.
This a high key lighting picture which was taken outside, it looks bright and it will look good on the magazine. these have all been taken in the college and out side college.

Research and planning- my model

What artists would you associate with the genre?
  • Cheryl Cole
  • JLS
  • Taylor swift
I chose these because some of them have colour schemes, such as JLS yellow, red, blue and green, the others may have accessories that have colors on.

What looks does your models need to have? 
  • My model needs to wear make up that will be consistent with the colour scheme of my pop magazine
  • Needs to wear clothes that match the colour scheme
  • Accessories need to be in the colour scheme, I would suggest they wear blue
  • She would need to have a really professionalized hair style that would go like the pop artists like hair style of Cheryl Cole or Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.


What mise- en- scene do you associate with your genre?
The location am thinking to put on my magazine is in a stage with a microphone to show that she is singing and it would look good like that as people may think that she is a pop artist. Or it could be in a place that is really good to take photo shoots, with lights all around hitting from the back of her and you could see the light in the background which makes her look clear to see.



What costumes/outfits do they need to be wearing?
  • Skinny jeans
  • Leather jacket
  • A pink top to go with the pop magazine colour scheme
  • Accessories like jewellery in the colour blue
  • Some winter furry boots to look stunning
