Mise en scene: Costume and Makeup

This week I will be practising makeup styles on my actor, Megan, and figuring out what style and what products to use to create an authentic, unique look for my cover and double page spread. Costume will be another area I will be focusing on this week and I will be choosing two separate styles for the front cover and and the double page spread.

Makeup: I will try two different makeup styles on my actor, one style being a quite natural, simple look and the other being a bright, striking look. I've decided to do this to get a better idea of what looks better on my actor and determine what kind of look I want portrayed on my cover. The two looks may resemble:

"Natural Look"

"Striking Look"

Costume: I've decided that my shot for the front cover will be a medium close up. I will have two double page spread shots, one Medium Close Up and the other will be a Full shot. The costume on the front cover will be edgy, casual clothes, ripped jeans/boyfriend jeans and a top similar to Blondie on the Rolling Stone Magazine example above but in a purple colour. I think this will definitely fit well with the look I'm going for for my magazine.
