My Chosen Shot - Front Cover

At first I was going to use the image in my flat plan. This would of been a mid-close up shot of my artist looking straight at my camera. The reason behind choosing this picture in the first place was because it was a standard shot used in most magazine from covers and I liked the way that she was standing. to me it shows she was very self-assured. But the only thing I didn't like was her facial expression. I would of preferred it to be more serious. When I came across the shot in the middle, I liked how different it was to most shots I had seen and wanted to use it. The only problem was that it was a bad quality image and if I wanted to use it, I knew that I would have to re do it. So I did and that image is one the right.



Final Shots Taken/Mise-en-Scene

When it came to  my final shot and the one I was planning on using the one on my flat plan. But when I was doing test shots, I came across a picture that I really like and wanted to work with. It features my artist sitting down, with her hand on her chin, looking at or away from the camera. Even though, it wasn't influenced by any research that I did, I found the pose has a lot of attitude and confidence, it gives the idea that the model is strong and proud. That to me is really important when it comes to portraying my artist on the magazine, I wanted her aura to be quite sassy. I had to recreate the image as the one I took in the test shots was had a low quality, so bad that it would of been difficult to work with.

Here are me recreating that shot.








When it comes to the mise-en-scene of the shot, I wanted to stick to the flat plan. She is wearing a crop jumper with the word "hype" on it. Also she is wearing ripped jeans, The rip will help convey her story of breaking through struggle and how she is a breakthrough artist. She is also wearing big hoop earrings as they are a common urban jewellery and add detail her outfit. In addition she is wearing a necklace with the Albania flag as that is wear my artist is from. Her hair is out and is curly and she is wearing minimal makeup to show she is still young and doesn't want to cover up or mask herself
