A2 Media Advanced Portfolio : March 2014

Test Shot

This is the area, where I took some of the shots, I like the mise en scene of blossom as it contrasted with the costume that my artist wore. I also think by editing this image, I may be able to use it for the CD

Extreme Long Shot of costume

Long shot of costume - I chose the use of a leotard and kimono as it reflects "Laura Mulveys" Theory of The Male Gaze. I chose black clothing and black lipstick to connote the theme of the music video which is a break up. Therefore the black connotes the death of romance/love.

I use the gems around the eyes and glittery eye shadow to convey the pop genre. which is eccentric on costume and stage design.

I dislike this photo due to the lightening.

I like the photo because of the way my artists hair sweeps across her face and how she looks into the distance connoting a lost look.

I don't like this image because some hair has covered the artists face.

I like the lighting in this image, however because my artist has her eyes closed, I'm not sure if I would use this.

I dislike this image because once again her hair has blown into her face.

I wouldn't use this image because I don't think it's an appropriate shot because my artist looks expressionless

I like this image because of the way the lighting is caught and the mise en scene of the background. I also like the voluminous hair of my artist. - I may use this one.

I quite like this image, and how the artists uses the blossom as a prop however I'm quite sure if it conveys more of a heavy metal/alternative genre as the image looks quite haunting and scary because the artist is staring directing into the camera it gives an almost threatening representation .

I like this image.

I quite like this image however a strand of her hair has blown onto her face, so I wouldn't use this

I like how the artist is stood on a side here, I may use this as track cover

I don't like this image as a close mid shot

I don't like this image either due to the shot length.

I wouldn't use this as my artist blinked.

I don't like this image.

I quite like this image because my artist gives of quite a sexy look - conveying pop.

I like this image too.

I'm unsure about this image because her hair has blown in front of my artists face.

I moved further down the track I was on a changed location, to contrast against the nature theme.

As my artist blinked I wouldn't use this image.

This image may work as CD artwork when Photoshopped and maybe blurred with an other

I don't like the lightening in this image

I don't like the lightening in this image either.

I don't like this lighting in this image either

This image has slightly more exposure to the other and I may use this one.

I don't like this image.

I quite like how the light captures this image, however I'm not sure about the long shot.

I think the mid shot is better, however the artists hand looks odd.

I like the mid shot and how the like catches in the corner and brings out the gems on my artists eyes, I may use this.

I don't like this.

I don't like this image either.

I think these two images look to sweet and innocent and doesn't convey the theme I am aiming for.

I don't like the framing of this image

I like this image, however I would have to Photoshop the piece of hair out before using it.

I like this image, even though the hair has blown in her face, I like the angle of the arms and It may work for a album cover or the back of the album.
