2. Introduction
• Over the next couple of slides I will be planning my photo
shoot. I intend to create an ideal photo for my front
cover, contents page and double page spread.
• I will be looking at all my preliminary sketches and trying to
match up my sketches with my final product and evaluating
whether or not it is suitable for my front cover.
4. Type of shot
• The main shot I would like to do is a mid shot.
– This type of shot will give my audience I view of my cover
from approximately the waist up
– This type of shot may also give my audience a clue about
who the artist is and what genre they belong in
• I’m going to take the shot straight on
– The main idea behind this is so that the audience can get a
straight on view of my model
• Lighting
– The room would be brightly lit
5. Mise-En-Scene (Male Model)
• Location: My primary location is an indoor location
• Lighting: Mainly a brightly lit room
• Costume: I have chosen to dress my artist in a
hoodie. He would also show parts of his chest
• Iconography:
– Eye glasses
– Textbooks
6. Mise-En-Scene (Female Model)
• Location: My primary location is an indoor location
• Lighting: Mainly a brightly lit room
• Costume: My model would be wearing a school
uniform type look (check connotations)
• Iconography:
– Eye glasses
– Textbooks
7. Connotations
• Male Model Connotations
– Hoodie
• The hoodie is to suggest that the artist is an artist of the “streets”
– Showing models chest
• Whilst researching R&B magazine conventions, the R&B cover artist
shows their chest the genre could be seen to be “sexual”
– Eye glasses & textbook
• The eye glasses and the text book are to go along with the DPS article.
The glasses and text book make the artist look smart
• Female Model Connotations
– School Uniform
• The uniform is to suggest that school is the place where it all started
– Eye glasses & textbook
• Look above
8. Pictures – Front Cover
The main idea of these
images is to show one
side of R&B. R&B is often
stereotyped to have “sexy
images of the model.
Here is an example of
what I may use for my
front cover.
The fact my model has
some of his chest
shown, gives of the “sexy
vibe”. With spaces around
him, it makes it easier for
me to put text, buttons
etc. around my model
when constructing my
front cover.
9. Pictures – Contents Page
The extreme close-up of my models face gives the audience an
idea of what is likely to be going through my models mind. The
extreme close-up could be a key indicator to my models facial
expressions.
10. Pictures - DPS
My DPS image is of my model standing under a bridge with very low key
lighting. This gives off a sense of mystery and that my models face isn’t seen.
