Time management: my actor.

Today I spoke with my actor Holly to decide when we are both free and can take my pictures. After talking for a while and checking when we are free we have both decided that Tuesday will be the best day for me to take my pictures. On that day we both have free time in the morning, so my pictures will be getting took on Tuesday 12th January at 8:55am. 

Here is my actor Holly:

Camera angles.

When taking my pictures i will be using a range of different camera angles, the main picture on my front cover will be a medium close up of Holly's face. A medium close up is when the camera is close to the face but not too close because the shoulders are still included in the shot. I have chose this because my style models mainly feature medium close up shots and i feel like a medium close up shot will show the make up that Holly will have on.

 Here are some examples of medium close up shots for my front cover:

For my contents page and double page spread i am planning to take a long shot of my actor. A long shot is where you can see the persons body i am doing this because this is also another shot that is often featured in my style models and i want my pictures to show the type of dress Holly will be wearing.

Here are some examples of long shots:

Props.

While thinking about all the aspects of Mise en scene i have decided that i will not be including any props in my pictures. I have decided to do this because i don't think adding any props will add anything that will further improve the way my pictures look. I also think props will make my pictures look too forced.
Here are some examples of pictures with no props included in them:

Costume for my pictures.

Costume:

For my pictures my actor Holly will be wearing a dress. I chose for holly to wear a dress because i want her to look smartly dressed and wearing this will create this look. The type of dress i want her to be wearing is a skater skirt style, these dresses are very girly and look good. Here is some examples of skater skirt dresses:

A skater dress popular thing to wear and is often included in the pop music magazine genre,which is what i am focusing my magazine on.

Make-up for my pictures.

Make up:

I want the makeup of my actor to look very natural, the eyes will have a small about of black eyeliner on it with a flick at the end of the eye and i want the lips to be a deep colour, like purple or red.  i want this because i feel like a natural make up will look very elegant along with the dress holly will be wearing.

Here is what i want the eye make up and lips to look like:

My actor for my pictures.

I have decided my actor to feature in my magazine pictures will be Holly Hulse. I have chose holly because she enjoys performing arts and loves to act so i feel like she will be the best person to have on my front cover, she will be able to create the exact pose and position that i need her to.

Here is what holly looks like:

I feel like Holly's image will fit in with my pop genre music magazine and she will be a good person to feature in my pictures.

The location of my music magazine pictures.

I have been thinking a lot about where i want my location of my pictures to be and i have decided to just have it on a blank backdrop like a brick wall or just a plain wall. Doing this will allow me to take out the background at a later date and add a colour of my choice to my pictures, also having a block colour as my background i could add writing and pictures to my background without the pictures looking too busy.

Here is an example of what my background of my pictures will look like before i take out the background:

Here is are some examples of a magazine with a plain colour in the background:
