Production Log- Mise En scene

Props
Guitar
Chair
Microphone

Why are they being used?
These are the props that I have used throughout my music magazine, props are important because they help make the effect of someone performing for example more real if there is a microphone in front of them, as when people are performing they typically perform in front of a microphone. Props also provide a sense of quality and professionalism to the magazine to make the audience believe this is a true magazine with a large budget to spend on items that take up minimal space.

Example:
This image of my friend playing a guitar ( left) from my contents page looks a lot better with the use of the guitar and chair as props when compared to without as without them he is pretending to play a guitar and the audience may not recognise this, my having a guitar it makes the concept more realistic rather than making the audience find out for themselves what the signs and symbols mean.
