1. This is a photo of Taylor Swift. Her simple black outfit is
barely visible in the image; its simplicity prevents taking
the attention away from her face. She is wearing fairly
natural makeup with a bold red lip and black eyeliner
which draws attention to her eyes, her hair is down and
slightly curled, so that it looks like a natural wave,
making her look elegant and classy. She is looking
directly at the camera highlighting her confidence which
is also displayed in the red lipstick. She is on a plain
black background, the bright lighting prevents it from
looking too dark, the black background makes her bold
red lipstick stand out and look even brighter. She is in
the exact centre of the image, as well as being the only
thing in the picture, this highlights her importance and
also highlights that she is an individual.
This is a photo of the girl band Little Mix. They are all
wearing plain colours such as black white and grey. This
makes them look better together as the outfits are similar,
it shows that they are all together as a group, yet the
differing outfits allow them to have their own style and
originality. They are sat on the ground, all sat up straight,
they are not smiling, but they are looking directly at the
camera making them look confident. Their makeup is all
very similar, a neutral lip with dark smoky eye drawing
attention to their eyes and also making the photo edgy
and sexy. They are all wearing their hair down which
adds femininity to the image. The lighting is bright so the
image is clear and bright, yet the colour saturation has
clearly been turned down as there are no vibrant colours
that stand out in the image, this adds to the edgy feel to
the image.
Investigating Mise En Scene

2. This is a photo of Justin Bieber. He is wearing a flannel shirt and
blue ripped jeans. His shirt shows off his tattoos on his arms, he is
crouched down on the floor in a pose which makes him look
confident and cool and calm. His facial expression is thoughtful
which gives off a cool and aloof vibe. The background is plain
white, making the image very bright and making sure that the
viewers’ attention is on Justin and nothing else. High Key lighting
has been used to make the photo bright, and emphasize every
small detail in the image. He is in the centre of the image making it
clear that he is the most important thing in the picture. Justin’s
bracelets and gold watch add to his “bad boy pop star” look.
