Using "mise en scene' to help your Photo shoot

'The OCR Media Studies for AS' (Hodder Education) describes 'Mise en Scene' as follows:

Mise en Scene

This is the  term you will be familiar with when you get stuck into your TV/Radio work. Meaning 'putting in the scene') it describes all the creative choices made by photographers, designers, and directors when creating an authentic atmosphere. For still images, this is partly constructed at the photography stage and partly through editing. You need to make clear creative decisions about:


  • Lighting (trial and error is the best way of getting it exactly right)
  • Costume
  • Appearance
  • Props for shot
  • Background imagery
  • Colour


Add Camera angle to the list above and you have a clear process to achieve the best original image(s) for your Music Magazine.

Task
Clearly research Style models to focus the type of shots you want to take and then apply the elements of 'miss en scene' for each shot.
i.e Explain why you have chosen particular: Costume, Location, Camera angle etc. (These are the creative choices that you make)

Post your decisions on the your blog
