This my mood board for my groups tour poster. Using mise-en-scene we added all the aspects of folk music for example, make-up, hair, location, costume, instruments etc. What I have learnt is that when making a piece of media for a certain music genre you need to consider all the different aspects that make up the genre so that the piece of media can be at it’s full potential to attract a wide audience. I am hoping this will help me when making more media pieces in the future as I now know all the different aspects you need to attract the right audience and produce a successful piece.
Today we did a photo shoot where we had to dress a model in a music genre that was randomly allocated to each group. My group got the genre Folk. We were able to use the best costume, pose, colour for folk due to our mood board helping us. After taking our photos we had members of the class put a word on a post it that they thought described our model well. Some of the words were laid back and quiet. I believe these words are quite accurate towards the folk genre and to the model. I think this task was successful because the audience understood that the model was folk a described him accurately. Overall what I have learnt from this task is that when creating any type of media based on a music genre you need to consider all the aspects of mise-en-scene to make a piece of media that will attract a certain audience.
This is my Final photo for the tour poster task. I have chosen this picture as I think the framing and overall colours and tones are really good and match the folk genre well. I also like how the photo is taken at a low angle which I believe helps the audience to interpret a story of what the artist is feeling.
Overall what I have learnt about mise-en-scene is that it is very important to incorporate when creating a piece of media. I believe it helps attract a larger audience as it is focusing on all the things the audience is looking for (costume, body language etc.) When creating any piece of media I will now use mise-en-scene.
