Mise En Scene

The Mise en Scene I thought it was hard to decide where to choose my photoshoot.  Finally I decided to base the pictures in Liverpool, this is because we are based in Liverpool and their are a lot of features I can use within the city centre.  Another reason I shot it in Liverpool is because Liverpool has a great musical background bands such as: The Beatles... It also has very famous places and bars such as: The Cavern Club where The Beatles had their first gig.  The city also has famous roads such as Penny lane.  Because of these reasons I thought that this was a great place to shoot my photos.  I took a picture of Sam Shaw on a backstreet alley playing the harmonica to show the sign of rebellion again.  I took a picture of my two artists outside The Cavern Club with the statue of John Lennon.  I took a picture of Sam Shaw in the music shop Dawsons playing a guitar.  The pictures I took I believed they were perfect for my Genre and the theme of my magazine. 

My Artists Costume

Another character that I chose was Alex Brandwood.  His costume was slightly different to Sam's costume.  The costume I chose for him wasn't as dark as Sams he had colour.  He had a maroon jumper on to show personality and he had a grey coat.  The Grey coat symbolises the dark theme that is still there (Sam's costume) however the maroon jumper shows that he wasn't all dark and independent.  My research showed me that their is also some colourful Indie artists, this gave me the idea to have one artist a little but colourful and the other character dark.  This is so I could express the two types of Indie Artists.

My Characters Costume

One of The Characters I have chosen is Sam Shaw. I have chosen there costumes to fit the theme of my magazine.  I have chosen Sam to wear Black  to symbolise being rebellious.  This is a theme for my Genre of Music.  A similar character I have related to is Arctic Monkeys lead singer Alex Turner.  Throughout my research it shows that he mostly wears Black, I tried to copy this theme of costume.  Indie artists keep themselves to themselves because they are independent.  This means they do not want to draw attention to themselves by wearing colourful clothes.  This is why I dressed Sam all in Black to try and stick to one of the stereotypes of Indie artists.
