The document outlines a plan for the front cover image of an agency. It will feature models Alicia and Polina in medium and close-up shots at eye-level against a black curtain backdrop under natural light. Polina will wear a black sequined hat and dark makeup while Alicia wears a dark red scarf and gold freckles. The connotation is that the models look like over-the-top pop icons to evoke curiosity. Contingency plans include improvising poses or using backup photos if the models cannot make it.
1. Planning front cover image
Agency Name R
Models Alicia and Polina
Camera height/angle/distance Medium shots/Close ups
Eye level
Location School hall (against black curtains as a
back drop)
Lighting Natural light
Mise-en-scene (incl. props, costume) As it is just a medium/close up shot,
costume isn’t really that important, except
from head to chest.
Polina – a black, sequined hat, dark red
lipstick, black eye liner and mascara, a few
glitters under her eyes and her hair is up
in a bun.
Alicia – a dark red scarf wrapped aroung
her head, gold freckles on her cheeks, light
pink/clear lips, and a black design on her
neck
Attempted connotation The models are over the top, confident pop
icons. The unusual look evokes interest
and curiosity....
Planned denotation Idea 1. One is looking at the camera while
the other is looking away. Very simple
facial expressions.
Idea 2. Both just fiddling with the
accessories they have, again, simple.
Almost like a beauty shot.
I don’t want to have a planned denotation,
I want it to be natural and I’ll just ask them
to improvise.
Contingency (in case of model Luckily, some will be indoors, so the
absence/weather) weather wouldn’t affect my plan. However,
if for whatever reason, they cannot make it
and it’s to choose someone else, I’ll look
through the pictures I took in party and
see if there are any that are suitable.
