costume and Make-up planning

Costume and Make-up planning:

For my article images, I need them to represent real life. This images need to be something that the target audience can relate to. Therefore I want to the keep the costumes and makeup simple. Unlike for my AS coursework, the models for my images could wear imaginative and stylish clothing, and the make-up could be bizarre. This was because they needed to represent the celebrity culture and be recognised as pop stars. However my product will be reflecting the life’s of real people, therefore I need to represent them truthfully.

Marathon Article                 

Costume- Crayola Costume- I have decided to use this as the costume as lots of runners in charity runs dress up in costumes as this increase the sponsor. The teenager in the article is going to be portrayed as desperate to help the Alzheimer’s charity. The Costume will also add some enlightenment to the article and help represent the girl as funny, which will attract kits if sentimental attention. There will be props in the image that will also show the athletic side, for example, the girl will be wearing running shoes and joggers and will be holding a lucozade water bottle. These will act as signs and portray the model as athletic. 

Make-up- the model will be wearing no make-up to put emphasis on the fact she has just ran a marathon. I will make sure she appears sweaty and exhausted to help make the image look realistic.

Main article-
Costume- My main article will consist of a male and female posing as a married couple. Their outfits will be designed to reflect theire profession; farmers. Therefore they will be wearing stereotypical farming clothes, for example wellies, big coats, jumpers. The outfit will help the audiences understanding of the text.
