The moodboard shown below is a collage of our Genre of music, Which is Country and Western, It captures the essence of earthly vibes and eco-friendly attire: When planning a photo shoot you must consider following:

• Costume
• Lighting
• Acting and Proxemics
• Makeup and Hair 
• Props
• Settings

The costume selected was a checkered flannel along with dungarees and some black cowboy boots. Next we had to begin thinking about the Lighting, due to our genre we wanted to make the lighting quite soft and bubbly. Acting was also an important factor to consider, therefore I had to think of the different types of poses and stances I would use, however when thinking about acting you must also take Proxemics into consideration. The photo shoot included a range of different camera angles from higher to lower and close up shots too. When thinking about Makeup and Hair we decided to make my hair wavy/curly and then to have simple  makeup. Finally Props and Settings. When portraying the image of a cowgirl, the first thing myself and my group thought of in terms of props were a straw cowboy hat and an acoustic guitar.. The setting we choose was a plain white wall to start off with and then later on during the photo shoot we used the green screen.

In this image, Our class were assigned with the task of writing down adjectives that related to our model who was a country and western star, Here are a few examples:

• Eco-friendly
• Chill
• Calm
• Earthy
• Family Friendly
• Helpful

This was useful for our group as the gratifications that the conventions of the country and western were well presented and clearly noticeable.

In my opinion, this is one of the best photos from the photo shoot, The costume is represented well.

• The purple in the flannel shows off the feminine side to the star and presents the star as a calm and collected individual.
• The acoustic guitar and the straw cowboy hat fits well with the conventions of the genre, in addition to that the straw hat gives off a welcoming and friendly vibe.
• The models makeup is simple yet effective to showcase the style of the makeup, The hair of the model is loosely curled and gives off the impression of being chilled out and approachable.
• Finally the body language of the model suggests empowerment and strength, the facial expression suggests that the country star is kind-hearted.

By using this research, and audience feedback it will help me to design my own music magazine as I will be aware of how each individual feature in the photos will convey the genre of music. An example of this could be the loosely curled hair, the hair gives off the impression of our country star being chilled out and approachable. I have learnt to pay attention to every detail no matter how important to ensure my music magazine is as successful as it can be.
