NEA Task 21 (Planning) : Photography Planning

1. Who will you be using as your models for each photograph (bear in mind that your photographs need to show representation of two distinct social groups)

The images i need to complete my magazine and website are-

• Magazine cover 1

• Magazine cover 2

• Image that links to the boogeyman movie

• Image that links to the spiderman movie

• An image linking to Barbenheimer

• An image linking to Netflix

• A giveaway image 

• Spotify podcast image 

For the first magazine cover image my model will be Bradley Hillyer as he fits the same demographics as the director Wes Anderson, a white male.

For the second magazine cover my model will be Amber Parker as she fits the same demographics as the Actor Hayley Atwell, a white female.

For the image that links to the Boogeyman article  i will recreate the poster for the movie myself using an editing software called sketchbook.

For the image that links to the Spiderman article i will recreate the poster for the movie myself using an editing software called sketchbook.

For the image that links to the Barbenheimer article i will recreate the poster for the movie myself using an editing software called sketchbook.

For the image linking to the giveaway, i will use some of the recreated images in a collage to promote how readers can upload their work to be featured within the magazine as articles, reviews or artwork for the article.

For the spotify podcast image i will recreate stereotypical thumbnails seen on the site with a microphone and the podcast name. 

2. What thought needs to be given to the following elements of mise-en-scene?

Location for photography, costume, props, and body language?

For the Wes Anderson cover i will place my model against a plain white wall as this bright will juxtapose the velvet green blazer and white button up my model is wearing as Wes is often seen in outfits like these. The model will be looking off camera facing slightly to the left as seen in the mock up cover, this will show the models serious nature however the slight smile/ smirk will ensure he is not too serious. There will be no props used as the focus of the photo is my model. I will also use a bright lighting to focus on my model who will stand out by wearing dark colours.

For the Hayley Atwell cover i will place my model in a brightly coloured jumper, to juxtapose the dark background patterned wall. my model will have direct gaze with the camera and be smiling/ laughing to convey a fun tone. I will use bright lighting to accentuate the bright colours of the models jumper. i will trial the use of a prop toy gun as this will link to the most recent mission impossible movie that the actor is being interviewed about however i believe this may act as a distraction on the main cover so i will trial photos with and without.

3. Who will be taking your photographs and what equipment will they use?

I will be taking the photographs as i know a lot about photography, and will use a camera as it can take a higher quality image than my phone. i will potentially require a tri-pod as well as some led lighting to illuminate the models.
