So… I am ready to photograph my star.

Over the past couple weeks, I have learnt extremely valuable information about both camera and mis-en-scene which will be fundamental to use in my contemporary R&B magazine. To begin, I have learnt how to alter the camera focus from automatic to manual, therefore meaning that I will have ultimate control over the quality of my image and the settings involved in that; using exposure and shutter speed to my advantage. Additionally, I have learnt how to use the flash photography equipment as I have discovered that if the flash is used correctly and effectively, it will noticebly improve the quality and liveliness within my Photographs.  When coming do my actual shoot, I will be thoroughly thinking carefully about all of the conventions of mis-en-scene within my images to help create the way in which my star is being conveyed and communicated to my audience. As I am doing my shoot in a photography studio aspects such as setting will not be valid however I will pay particulary close attention to costume as my music genre (contemporary R&B) considers fashion to be a major way to make a statement. On top of this, acting, proxemics and facial expressions will all be just as vital as this is key to create the attitude and confidence I wish to portray in my images. All of these points are things which I have already thoughtfully planned to ensure my images are at the best possible standard and are as effective as possible. Of course, being a music magazine, my main focus is to convey the Contemporary R&B style and make sure that I am attracting the correct audience thus I need to facilitate that my star image entices my target and hits the correct criteria in terms what they want; this of which I have also researched in depth.
