For this task we got split into groups of 2 and 3 in class and I was put with Elliot, we then had to pick a piece of paper out a hat, written on them were names of genres of music. When we picked ours Elliot picked out hard rock, at first I was disappointed as I didn’t listen to this genre of music and therefore didn’t know much about it. To insure we both knew enough about the type of music and what it looked like, how they Dressed and what it was all about we had to research it to make sure we knew what we were talking about.
We then created a mood board of hard rock images and thought of words to describe each image, we did this on padlet so we could write up about each image and what it meant.
We then had to choses between me and Elliot as to who would be the model, I thought Elliot would be perfect for this as he has the hair and there aren’t many female artists in the genera. We then had to decide on what Elliot would be wearing, how his hair would be styled, if he was wearing makeup and if we needed to bring in any props. For this we decided
- Outfit- Black, dark, gloomy
- Hair- Spiky
- Makeup- Black
- Props- Glasses, guitar
- Facial expressions- moody, sad, angry
The words that were written on him…
- mean
- Rebellious
- Angry
- Hard core
- Edgy
- Hard
- Aggressive
I feel our photo-shoot went well as we got the images we needed but I do feel as if we could have got more, for example we could have got some with different props and outfits. We also could have used makeup and I feel this would have made it better as we didn’t end up using any.
When taking this picture of Elliot we decided to focus on facial expressions as in a lot of the research we did they had wide mouths and tongues stick out and I think we mastered this look. We also got to mess around with the hair to make it look more like he’s a rock star and I this this made it the little bit better.
