My Image That Uses Mise-En-Scene For Meaning

I was allocated the Genre Psychedelic Rock. I found that this genre had the typical attire for rock music but was more colourful and full of life. The artist from this genre are represented as chilled and like drugs, the consumers of this particular music could be describes as relaxed and could look as if they are not in reality. The expectations of people who listen to Psychedelic Rock would be that they like to rebel and take drugs such as LSD and to be very relaxed and chilled people.

Some of the description words we received for our model included: Druggy, Hippie and Funky. These are the adjectives we wanted to improvise with the way we have represented our model. I think that our model fits in very well with other artists of genre due to his similar dress and accessories. Therefore I think as a producer I think as a producer I have made my model look very realistic as if he was a real Psychedelic performer who was about to go out on stage and put on a show.

In my contact sheet I have a wide range of photos with:little facial expressions, lots of facial expressions, good body language, good framing and bad framing. All of our photos are pretty good quality (Not Blurry) and I also think that I have captured the typical psychedelic rock artist during many stages of their concert or possibly just a general day at home. I could of used more extreme close-ups to show specific body parts, I could of also used different angle shots (high and low angle) to capture different angles on my model but I only used level angles.

 

This is my final photo, I have chosen this because I feel that this particular image captures the psychedelic rock genre really well. My models facial expressions and body language connotes relaxation and dazed  which is what we wanted the audience to realise. We have used a low-angles shot so we can see his facial expressions better while still showing his body.  This photo stands out from the rest because I think the way we wanted to portray my model is perfect and the framing in this image is better than the rest. Using Mise-En-Scene in these photos are really important so that consumers can work out what my model (genre) as they have nothing but the image to work this out. This will impact my planning and research for my magazine cover as I now have better understanding in picking out the elements of Mise-En-Scene in images and can reveal meanings behind images.
