Plans for our Auxiliary Task

After looking at the research, we have decided that our model will have a simplistic, "earthy" feel to her as this will link well with our video. To ensure that we get this feel to the digipack and the magazine poster, we have made some decisions about the mis-en-scene. 

For the make-up, we felt that having a simplistic make-up which conforms to our research. Our model has extremely blue eyes, which are her main feature which we want to exploit. We plan on having a light brown eyeshadow with minimal framing to provide definition which will make them more noticeable in images. We will have natural lips and will keep her overall skin tone as pale as possible to match the Gaia child research. As our model has a heartshaped face, we will be adding a pale blusher to frame her cheeks and add definition. A natural eyebrow will also be used.    

The model's hair will be kept natural and curly as we feel this will work well with the natural, simplistic look we are going for. By using the natural light as well, this will also add a halo-like effect to the model when the sun hits her hair. We are aiming to make the hair look 'fluffy' to ensure this halo effect can be achieved. The model herself has extremely curly hair so this will require minimal styling




In order to make the model look even more, earthy and correspond to our Gaia earth research, we have decided to have a floral garland headband in the model's hair which will also match the one we used in our music video. We aim to select a daintier form of floral headband to ensure the model looks delicate.  












For the model's outfit, we plan to have the model dressed in a flowy white, 3/4 sleeved top. We feel that this will link well to the video and maintain the simplistic and pure effect that we gained in the video by using the white dress. The dress that we use for the music video, or a floral based dress, may be used as well if we decided to do a long shot. 

This is the look we are trying to achieve.








Front Cover:
After looking at our research, we have decided that a close-up shot of the model's face will be the best shot to use for our front cover. 

Inside Picture:
The inside picture will be a long shot of the model, and this is where we will use the dress from our music video.

CD:
The CD itself will remain plain as this is most like the research we have looked and we feel this will link well with the simplicity of our other ancillary tasks.

Back:
The back is going to be a mid-shot of the model, however we plan to have the model turning away slightly from the camera in order for the sun to capture her portrait.

Poster:
The poster will feature a mid-shot of the model, most like from her chest/shoulders upwards as this fits well with the research we have looked at. We still have to plan what colour and what type of font and the general lay-out of the poster.

For all of our ancillary tasks, we plan to use the natural light again like we did in our music music video and have the model standing outside sort of interacting with some form of nature as this will link to our overall "earthy" look we wish to have.
