In this task I was allocated a genre, my genre was Psychedelic Rock and I had to investigate the conventions. I discovered that Psychedelic Rock was mainly based around bright neon colours and very multi-colourful. It gives off a very relaxed and chilled vibe for people who don’t really care and look at everything positively.

We then dressed our models in conventional Psychedelic Rock costumes because we understood what the mis-en-scene looked like, the models were dressed up in hippie glasses with these hippie necklaces. They also wore a paisley shirt and a long dark red and black robe which gave off a chilled vibe.

We asked the audience to provide us with the connotations and the vibe of what they looked like. Some of the replies were words such as; Natural, Exquisite and Energetic.

I chose my final photo that is going to be on the tour poster because in these photos they have really good facial expressions and body language.  When I come to make my magazine I know how important it is to have the right costumes, makeup and what facial expressions and body language they use.
