My Mood Board presents a number of different ideas I used in preparation for my photo shoot on Country Music. Using Mise- en Scene allowed me to visualize what scenery, lighting and costumes would be best for my photo shoot. I tried to use a bold outfit to really signify my topic of music. Another way I used Mise en Scene was by getting my model to pose and to make her body language girly and quirky. The colours and style represent the feminine and laid-back country look.

Here are some pictures I took on my photoshoot.

I have chosen this photo as my final photo because I think it portrays a country girl the best, my model, Erin, looks natural and girly. In my opinion, this is better than the rest of the photos because it shows off her whole outfit and the guitar and hat adds to the telling of a story and makes the scene look calm and relaxed.

I think this will make a huge photo on my music production because it helped me gain experience on mise-en-scene and also helped me portray the telling of a story.

Here is a photo of post it notes that were written before our photoshoot to try and develop a wider range of ideas and thoughts to correctly tell the story of country music in our photo.

This helped me visualise how country is represented to the audience and made me think out of the box when dressing up and photographing Erin. It also helped create the right vibe and correct use of mise-en-scene throughout the process. When I come to make my music magazine, I now know that I need to use Mise- En-Scene, makeup and costumes to convey the correct genre.
