TASK 4: PROPS/COSTUME LIST

PROPS Prop is formally known as (theatrical) property, is an object used on stage/ on screen by actors during a performance or screen production. Practical terms, a prop is considered to be anything movable or portable on a stage or a set, distinct from the actors, scenery, costumes, and electrical equipment. Consumable food items appearing in the production are also considered props.

I have used Prezi to present my prop ideas before taking a picture. I have decided to do this so that I know briefly what a R & B music magazine cover should look like. To be honest , it was difficult having to embed Prezi on to blogger because it was my first time using this app and I did not really know how to work it out. However, after looking in YouTube a really helpful video helped me to quickly embed my slide into blogger. I followed the steps and have finally managed to place this on blogger. I would like to share this you tube link that I really found very helpful during the struggles I had to overcome.

This is the YouTube video that really helped me out !

ANALYSIS MODEL IDEA 1,2 & 3

I have decided to use these type of styling for my music magazine. The props used are simple and stylish very fashionable and smooth like my genre of music RnB/ Kpop. The costumes are different but also partly related to my genre of music genre and audience. I haven't decided on the 'one' genre as I am awaiting for my models to set in for a photo session due to the tight schedules we haven't properly communicated. Although we have communicated via text messages & emails it has been a trouble. But I have managed to get hold of all my models and set up a photo session. This template I have researched are an illustration to my models for a head start into their photo session this allows them to express more different and new poses and looks for my music magazine. I am taking  photo of my models separately  then colliding them in the end. I have 1 female model for the main magazine front page, and the double page but for my content page I have decided to add in other models this time round I have chosen 2 of my male models. The model no. 2 will be captured with dance moves and model no.3 with musical instrument. I have decided to do this because I wanted to have a wide range and a good contrast that collides and connote a similar theme to my music magazine. 

After a few weeks time I had put together a photo session focusing on props and was able to have a collection and variation of props with my models. Firstly, I chose the best fit images, then photo-shopped the images before laying out the frame for the images. I used a plain landscape slide to present my props.
