Mise-en-Scene Location and Prop Ideas

For my photographs I was going to use an infinity background, or a plain white wall, so that the main focus will be on the person in the photograph instead of the surroundings. The infinity background will also make it easier for if I want to cut the background out and use the star from the photograph on a different background. While researching other magazine front covers I found that most of the main photographs are in front of a plain background. It appeals to an audience because it shows the audience that the magazine cares about their stars more than where they are placed, and this is also represents how the magazine cares about the music the artist or band creates rather than the image of the band.


While I was researching other magazine front covers I found that most of the artists didn't have any props and it was just them. I found that this way would be easier to do and then it will also look like most of the other magazines within my chosen genre of music. I decided to use of prop to see how well it will work. I have chosen to use a skull drink holder, as skulls can sometimes be associated with my chosen genre and some of the artists i have researched.
