Final Shots taken/Mise-en-scene

I chose a centered mid-shot because it is best suited for my genre. The shot is at eye level, this is following the conventions of my genre. I also believe it shows the innocent, it doesn’t make her over-powering and it doesn’t make her appear weak I believe it makes her look neutral and appealing to look at. I think having a centered shot is effect because it attracts my target audience because she facing straight on. Her face is slightly tilted to portray her innocents and sweetness I also took into consideration that my magazine is aimed at 13-16 year old I think it’s the appropriate pose to have.It also engages the reader to look at the magazine.

I chose light pastel colours for the mise-en-scene to reflect my masthead. The kimono has blue and pink reflecting on my colour scheme. I chose a polka dot skirt to keep to the pop nature of things. I also think the mise-en-scene relates to my target audience it’s something they could picture themselves in which could influence them to by the magazine. Her make-up is natural because she is seen as a pure honest girl. Her lips are pink to add that pop to her face. It makes her stand out more.  It also encourages the younger audience to believe that make-up isn’t necessary and so by having Melody Lock image natural I’m suiting my target audience. The light is bright to make her appear good, sweet and sinless.
