Photo Shoot

From analysing magazines such as Mixmag which are also based around the same genre as my magazine I have found that I must consider mise-en-scene, props, costume and bodylanguage as all of these are codes for the chosen genre of music. I have to have the photo shoot taken where I could use graffiti as the background maybe brick lane for example as the graffti codes for creativity and experimental. This shows that my magazine is trying to identify with experimentalists who like to be creative, it also symbolises the genre of music as most songs are remixes etc. For props I was thinking of using alcoholic drink bottles to code for happiness, very relaxed as this tells the reader what the music is about how it makes you feel. It also shows that this type of music brings people together such as clubbing, place for socialising. For my costume I am going to go for a casual look such as jeans and top with a rolling stones T-shirt as this is shows that the magazine is about music. Add some colourful props or other parts of the costume to amke it seem more materialistic.
