The photoshoots below are for the front cover of my magazine. I wanted the models to represent the forms and conventions of the intended musical genre represented in my magazine and I did this thorugh the use of mise-en-scene of the photography. The poses of the model 'Alicks' I believe are fitting of these forms and convetions, therefore representing the stereotype to the audience, making them know what the magazine itself was about. The photography helped in the layout with my front cover as it enabled me to see which colours would be best suited to work together with the image as well as the genre my magazine intended to represent. In preperation for this photoshoot, I made the model's makeup both bold and thick, I also slightly backcombed her hair to help give that rocky type stereotypical image. The model also has a nose piercing, which again I felt signified the genre of the magazine to the audience. Therefore, all these techniques worked together to connote the rock/indie genre to the audience to great effect.
This specific photo shoot was my inteneded photography to be used on the front cover of my magazine. However, after the photo shoot is was evident that the photography didn't turn out as planned as the majority of the images are either too dark or really basic as the lighting wasn't working. Therefore, I used this photo shoot as a plan for the real thing to give me an idea of how the positioning of the model and how the photo shoot would pan out.
