Mise En Scene- Time Management

I have realised that i will not fully complete all the aspects of mise en scene for my magazine this term if i am wanting to complete it to the best of my ability. However, in January when i come back to school, i will then look at taking the photographs for my magazine and focus on everything else in more detail so it does not come across rushed. By doing this i will hope to achieve the best grades possible.

Mise En Scene- Camera Angles

The camera angle i am going to use for my front cover picture of the band is a long shot. I am using this type of shot so that the camera gets each band member in equally and allows the audience to view the whole image, including props and costumes so they get the full effect i am trying to achieve. I think this shot will be most effective as the costume, attitude and props will be the main features to imply the genre i have chosen to the audience.

Mise En Scene- Props

I have thought a lot about the type of props i am going to use during my shoot. I have decided i am going to use two electric guitars with two of actors holding them in a playing position, this will give the audience rock music impression from the image and the attitude shown.

I will also use a microphone for the other member of the band to show that all band members contribute to the music created. I will do this as i want the attended audience to see the passion my actors will show.

Mise En Scene- Location

The location i have chosen for my shoot will be against an old stone/bricked wall which will give my rock theme a good setting that matches the genre i have chosen. By choosing this kind of background i feel that it will give a professional setting to match the actors and props i am going to use. The old, wrecked image we get from these stone walls will match well with the ripped, ruined clothing i have decided my actors are going to wear.

Mise En Scene- Costumes and Makeup

For my costumes, my rock band will be dressed in stereotypical rock clothing which will consist of dark, dull but eye catching  colours with leather jackets and Dr Martain boots. I would also like them to wear ripped clothing as that is what i have mostly seen when researched. By doing this i hope the audience gets the full effect i am trying to create.




For the makeup, i will try many different ways of creating the rock, attitude look. They will mainly have dark, black makeup around their eyes so that they stand out to the audience. They will also have a bright bold coloured lipstick on. The reason i have chose this kind of makeup is because i want to suggest rock and roll and show the passionate attitude i have seen on other music magazines to the audience.
