Mise-En-SceneLEWIS BROWN

Mise-En-Scene• Mise-En-Scene simply means “placing on

stage” and refers to the aspects of an image, film or play such as the costume, props, hair and make-up that has been put in the particular scene or image.

• The following slides show what Mise-En-Scene I think is appropriate for the main image on my front cover and in my double page spread.

Clothing Ideas…

I have chosen this outfit for my model which consists of a yellow patterned crop-top with a necklace and tie-dye, multicolour leggings. I believe this outfit is suitable because it consists of clashing retro colours which was a common convention of EDM magazine colours from my research. The bright colours connote fun and celebration and this will be suitable for the EDM genre because the nightclubbing life is happy and upbeat.

Facial Expression

Happy

Seductive Angry

Vulnerable

Potential Ideas:

Sad

• I believe that the model should have a happy expression in most photos as electronic dance music is associated with partying as opposed to being sad or aggressive which is more associated with metal or rock genres.

Make-up Ideas…

I have chosen to have my model to have bright red lipstick and light eye make-up (a small amount of mascara). This is a light-hearted and elegant look which I think would be suitable for my magazine genre. I have chosen to have a small amount of eye make-up as having it heavy would connote a more aggressive genre of music such as gothic rock or metal.

Props

HeadphonesColourful Sunglasses

• I have chosen to include headphones in my magazine images as sunglasses would stop the model having a direct mode of address with the audience and this makes the front cover less engaging for the reader.

Lighting

Front LightingSide Lighting Three-Point Lighting

• I have chosen to use three-point lighting in my main images as this is used by professionals and is very effective. The lighting consists of a front light (primarily illuminates the model) the side light (this is used to create shadows at different angles) and the back light (this makes the model stand out from the background.

Hair Ideas…

I have chosen this sleek tight ponytail hairstyle because it looks stylish and sophisticated. The hairstyle also allows the models face to be fully visible as opposed to having her hair down where it would partially cover her face.
