Research and Planning: Music videos of my genre.

Research And Planning: Example of Model's poses.
















I have chosen all these different poses, as examples of what i would appreciate my model to do, I have chosen all females because my models are going to be female, due to me not being able to get any male models. My favorite two poses are the first two, this is because they seem to work the best and compliment my genre most, they have dark colours and gormless faces. Therefore, these are the poses which i will tell my model to do. I also want the background of them two pictures to be in my picture, it is simple and uses great lighting to create good effect, as does the mise en scene in the pictures.

Research and Planning: Shot types

Research and Planning: Music Magazine progression.





This is the beginning of the double page spread which features in my magazine.

Research and Planning: Make up & Hair ideas.










These are all good examples of the make up and hair which i will aim my model to have. Essentially i want, dark eyes similar to the 4th picture on this post, the hair I would want would be the scruffy quite curly hair parted down the middle. I want my model to have dark red lipstick, with dark red lip liner to clean up the lip look. I want the make up and hair to compliment and resemble the look of the model, if they clashed it wouldn't look good or professional.

Album review of OREN debut album surprisingly named OREN. 8/10
Excellently delivered music to the ears, the genre which they transcend better watch their backs. Fantastic vocals and emotive lyrics from the lead sing Sophie Cutts. Beginning the album with the opener descender was a brave move, yet perfectly executed despite the risky choice. Are risks like this necessary on a debut album? No, stay safe on your first shot. The vigorous vibe remains a consistency throughout, however your emotions and urges to party all night long are definitely played with. Downfall of the album? Track 7 (I would give it a miss if I was you). In the nation of doubters and haters in which we live, i urge you to get this album, that ought to shut you all up.

 This is the review which I plan to place at the bottom of my double page spread after I have interviewed the artist.
