Using Mise-en-scene

Since I didn't have a person to model for me, I decided to take pictures of my dog instead. I still put a little beanie on him to make up for a costume and I took these pictures while he was playing with his toy. I did this so the audience would be able to see his authentic playfulness. These pictures were located in my backyard using the sun as the lighting.

You can still use Mis-en-scene with dogs because you are able to portray them in a certain light. These pictures convey my dog, Toby as sweet, fun, and playful. Furthermore, Mis-en-scene creates meaning in pictures because you are able to grasp the feeling the photographer is trying to exude by placing their model in a certain location with specific outfits/ makeup looks.

It is specifically designed to attract an audience. •Taglines- Taglines are used to show what the magazine is about. •Coverlines- Coverlines mention the topics included. •Central image- The central Image draws an audience before they can even read the magazine. •Cover model- Cover models are usually celebrities that have a strong connection to the magazine's genre. •Color scheme- The color scheme is used to target a demographic. •Barcodes- Barcodes are used to Identify your magazine.

Using Camera Angles

Today, I took photos using the three camera angles from the syllabus. These consist of a high angle, low angle, and canted angle. 1) High angle This high angle conveys the idea that the subject has less power than I do. 2) Low angle This low angle conveys the idea that the subject is powerful or holds more power than I do. 3) Canted angle This canted angle suggests that the subject is disoriented.
