To help me with my photo shoot and with the back story of Kinsley transforming from a Pop singer to a House music artist, I will look at pictures of female artist when they were younger how they pose, the type of clothing they wear, their facial expressions to when the artist has grown up and how they have matured, the types of poses they stand in and their facial expressions, I will try and find similarities through out pictures of different artist and using the information I found out will use this in my photo shoot.

This picture of Miley Cyrus shows her when she was younger, she is also smiling with her head tilted to the side which is made to look innocent and cute, both the picture of Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus do this, this suggests that this is a girly pose and Is common pose for a girly, cute look. Her hair is curled and around the face to bring soft features forward on her face as well as having minimal make up to make her look youthful and to show that she isn't grown up and matured yet. Miley Cyrus clothing in this picture is still girly and isn't revealing which shows her youth and innocents.

These two pictures of Miley Cyrus now shows that she has matured and become woman. We can see from these pictures compared to the one of her when she was younger there is a dramatic change. In the first picture of Miley Cyrus older she has cut her hair short and dyed it blonde which is a complete change to when she had her hair long and brown, this signifies that she has matured and that she is able to become something different. We can also see that she has more make up on which makes her look older and more mature. Her facial expression isn't smiley compared to when she was younger, it looks moody and more intense showing that she has grown up and has become a woman not a girl. In the second photo of Miley Cyrus grown up she is wearing more revealing clothes to show off her figure and to show to the world that she isn't a teenager anymore.

As we can see from these two pictures of Kylie Minogue a big change from when she was younger to when she has matured. In the first picture it shows Kylie smiling, minimal make up and curled hair to bring soft features forward this shows her girly, innocence and that she is still young. Where as the second picture shows her in more revealing clothes, slightly more make up and moody facial expressions to show that she has matured and wants to show off how she has become this woman and that she has become something different from when she was younger and more girly.
After investigating female music artist from when they were younger to older I have noticed that when they're younger facial expressions are smiling and wide eyes, make up is minimal to shows youth, curled hair to bring soft features of the face, non revealing clothes, for poses the head is slightly tilted to the side ad pastel, girly colours for background and clothing.
I found when looking at the artist when they're older that the facial expressions look moody, more intense, not smiling. More revealing clothes to show a figure off, more make up to signify maturity, darker, bolder colours to symbolise the change from girl to woman.
By investigating these changes I shall use what I have found for my photo shoot of Kinsley.
We are really impressed with your commitment to your work Ellen, keep it up! You are beginning to explore and explain with a greater maturity, to improve and develop this further look to engage with the theoretical ideas in more detail. For this post consider Laura Mulvey and her theory of "The Male Gaze". This will give you an even greater understanding of the choices Media producers make and how it effects the media we consume. Focus this week on reviewing posts and sharing information in a variety of ways rather than just uploading mini essays. Keep the content, don't change what you have written just how you share it. Look at Prezi, Slide Share, creating videos etc. Keep the pace and depth going!
ReplyDeleteWhere are the posts from the photo shoot on Friday? You worked hard throughout the exercise Ellen and it was clear that you had planned the content and styling of your chosen images. Get them on here and remember you do not need to wait until you have polished them up, we need to see your process!
