Prop and Costume Ideas

Costume When deciding my costumes for my models I need to ensure that they

appeal to the audience and suit the genre of my magazine being pop. I

will do this by presenting my models in a way which makes them look

interested in fashion and have good fashion sense. I will dress them in a

very girly way to make them look like pop artists this would include

dressing them in things such as dresses and skirts. They would also have

accessories to make them more girly making the audience more

interested and appealed by the way they look. This would allow the

audience to be inspired by the way they look. I would also ensure to

dress them in a similar way to how the target audience would like to

dress as this would allow them to be inspired by the artist. This would

give my magazine an instant image of the genre of my magazine allowing

the audience to know quickly what genre my magazine is. It would mean

that the audience could easily see what age category my magazine is

aimed at meaning. Furthermore I will give my models girly hairstyles both

curly and straight as this would make the magazine seem more girly and

would also show that the models are presented in a very girly way. In my

photo-shoot I will position my models in simple but interesting poses. This

is because my magazine is aimed at teenagers and therefore I do not

want to make it too complicated.

Props The props is a big part of my photo-shoot and will allow me to get more

interesting shots. The props will add emphasis to the magazine and will

show it is a music magazine. Furthermore the props will make people more

interested and will ensure that I have variety in my photos as well as

making sure that the images don’t become repetitive and boring. I have

decided to use some props within my photo-shoot. I will be using a camera

which would look effective as it will show the pop genre of my magazine.

Furthermore this prop has been used in many pop magazines which shows

that it is an effective prop that would appeal to the audience. I may decide

to feature the camera on the front cover image of my magazine, which

would either be a close up or mid shot image. I will also use balloons as

one of my props. This is because my magazine is aimed at teenagers it

would show the teenager side of the magazine. It would also allow me to

get some interesting camera shots that would appeal to the audience.

Furthermore it would give a more fun side to the magazine and would

make the audience realise that it is a very fun girly magazine. I may also

decide to use other little props within my photo-shoot however the balloons

will be my main prop as I can ensure to get a wide range of different

effective shots with these.
