My magazines mission statement/brand values is to provide a service to all fans of the genre at an affordable price, this service will provide news and information about any artists, changes, songs etc in the rap genre.
My studio shoot was my first time doing an actual photo shoot on my own, I learnt had to use a DSLR camera for the shoot and how to use the flash equipment to alter my image. These skills were learnt in lessons we had before the shoot that taught us how to use all of this equipment. We also had learnt about mise-en-scene before our shoot, I used mise-en-scene to completely change the message that the image conveyed, I used a champagne glass, chair and lots of jewelry, the champagne and jewelry shows the rappers wealth and the chair was used to have the rapper sat and facing certain actions. Our camera was a huge part of the mise-en scene we played around with a lot of different settings on the camera and heights at which we had the camera, but in the end I think we found the right settings and height. We took a large amount of our photos at these settings. We tried to get the positioning of our camera as center as possible and our flash equipment to cover all angles because we didn’t want any shadows in our photo, if we had shadows around the model it could’ve been difficult in Photoshop to edit around our photo.
