Poses Decison

Note: Whilst I know that I will be taking photos in these poses, I am undecided if these will be on the certain pages or not. This is just my first idea.

POTENTIAL DPS POSE:

This is a pose that incorporates all three girls. Becky will be posing in a style reminiscent of Miley Cyrus on the front cover of the marie claire magazine. This pose is invitational and draws the reader in. As previously looked at:

• If the model has their back turned and is looking over their shoulder, this gives them an air of mysteriousness and aloofness , which can be intriguing to a reader.

I'm undecided if Becky would look best with her full body turned or with the majority of her body turned so this is something I'll have to experiment with when I take the photos. I have also considered the way that her head should be titled.

• If my models head were tilted over to one side, this is considered non-threatening and can even be seen as submissive or docile. It can also be associated with someone deep in thought - someone intelligent.

Leia will be different. Her pose is based off of Katy Perry's in Cosmopolitan. Her head will also be tilted slightly to the side. Her body will be kept straight and strong to show confidence. Her body will be slightly to the side, centralizing Eve.

• If the model is very slightly facing one way or the other, this can be used to emphasize attractiveness.

Most notably, her hand will rest upon her hip.

• Hands on hips shows confidence and dominance in one of the most obvious and emphasized ways possible. 

Eve will be central in this image. Her pose is based off of Emma Watsons. Her head will be titled upward with her hand touching her face. 

• If the models head is tilted upwards, this is a pose of superiority. It shows that my model is someone important. It can also show defiance, portraying my model as quite rebellious. The differentiation between higher up person of authority and revel depends on the mise en scène and the tone.

The closeness of the girls in this image shows a bond between them and lets the reader feel as if they are looking into the lives of these girls and seeing an intimate friendship. This can be seen as heartwarming and sweet and also appeals to human curiosity and nosiness as people feel as if they are getting a look into the models lives and into their relationships.

POTENTIAL FRONT COVER

All of the girls in this image are based off of the girls in little mix - minus Jesy. Becky will be taking on the role of Leigh-Anne. The pose is very confident and strong.

• Hands on hips shows confidence and dominance in one of the most obvious and emphasized ways possible. 

Leigh Anne has a powerful stance with splayed legs and a straight back. 

• Legs splayed and apart from each other can show dominance and superiority If the person is 'standing at attention' like a solider would do then this can be seen as respectful. However, depending on the stance, it can also come across as quite aggressive.

As two of my models will be sitting on the floor - I will rehash what this can convert in terms of body language. 

• Having a model sitting down can convey a lot of different things. If the model is sitting on the floor, this is also very casual. 
• Sitting crossed legged can seem closed off, in the same way that folded arms can. This pose also have connotations of youth.
• Sitting on a chair with wide open legs can seem arrogant and superior. It's also quite relaxed - like a person at home. 
• Sitting on a chair with legs crossed is more feminine and emphasizes femininity. It can also look quite professional. 

Eve sitting on the floor conveys more of a casual relaxed vibe, whilst Leah - who sill looks more comfortable and at home than Becky - is slightly more powerful and dominant.

POTENTIAL CONTENTS PAGE:

These three poses will be the only ones where the girls are not interacting with each other. This gives them a sense of independence and strength.  For Leia, I've chosen to have the head thrown upwards to show that she's engaged in the music that she's listening to. What I really want to convey with this pose is excitement. 

• If the models head is tilted upwards, this is a pose of superiority. It shows that my model is someone important. It can also show defiance, portraying my model as quite rebellious. The differentiation between higher up person of authority and rebel depends on the mise en scène and the tone

With Eve, I've gone for her having her head slightly to one side. 
• If my models head were tilted over to one side, this is considered non-threatening and can even be seen as submissive or docile. It can also be associated with someone deep in thought - someone intelligent. 

With Becky, I want her head tilted downwards

• If my models head is titled downwards, this has connotations of sadness. This can be very dramatic - and therefore very interesting - however, this can also have connotations of disapproval and disinterest which should be avoided. 

I want Leia's hair to be flying around in this image as if she were dancing. This will create excitement with the image and make infinitely more fun. Becky's pose should be very dramatic. I want her legs to be slightly crossed in front of her. 

• Legs crossed with one in front of the other can seem shy or docile - endearing in the same way that arms across the body may be. This is also typically a feminine post that emphasis girlishness. This may act as a barrier much like crossed arms if the rest of the body language is not open.

N.A

As I am working with several creative models, it's very likely that I will end up with a range of poses that I didn't plan on and that these poses will change slightly in the process of taking the photos. This will be accounted for in a follow up post.
