MOODBOARD
We were given the genre of Rap and created a Moodboard containing the aesthetics of Rap and associations of Rap. Our Moodboard consisted of how Rappers look, certain artists, and objects that are associated with Rappers. From our Moodboard we found out these conventions of rappers:
- Wealth
- Intimidation
- Appearance
This further helps the development of my Music Magazine as it helps with the understanding of Mise En Scene.
POST IT PHOTO
Using the moodboard we then dressed one member of our team accordingly to our genre and had a photoshoot, whilst taking pictures we kept CLAMPS (costume,lighting,acting,makeup,props,setting) in mind, this meant that the body language/poses that are shown to the audience relates the mood of the ‘rapper’ and what adjectives convey to them. For example we carried out this task in class where other students would take a post it note ans write an adjective that they think our model conveys, here are some that they came up with:
- Intimidating
- Defiant
- Angry
- Aggressive
I believe that because of these adjectives that our class gave our model we were successful in Mise En Scene , as these were the impressions we wanted to portray to our audience.
FINAL PHOTO
I chose this as the final photo as i think it represents what we were trying to portray very successfully, Ithink this because the body language and direct look into the camera portrays an aggressive vibe towards the audience. I believe that this picture is better than any of the other pictures as it directly addresses the audience and conveys the Rapper genre and relates to our moodboard specifically
Finally, this task will significantly help in the creations of my music magazine as I now know how to portray the conventions to an audience to communicate meaning.
