Second Part Planning.

Titles narrowed down.

• Pain behind the beauty
• Abuse in sight

The theme we’ve been given is power, we went through a slide show Wednesday, I only managed to pick two types of power. Equality, this i can work a lot more with, and People in power, this will be a little more trickier to do. I could do the people actually riding the horses / trainers / owners as they’re in power, i can also put what the government / people can do to help. The title is one thing to worry about but I am still not sure what the cover should be.

Cover

• Dark background
• needs to be fitting ( sad, truthful etc )
• Bold title

Research

• chapters of the book will have the type of abuse.

Image in the book

• Have the cause of what is affecting the horse
• On the chapters i could do a how it should look.

My reference art credits go to @/ princess_lucygoosey on instagram, i asked for her consent to reference art of her horses some time ago, this has come in useful.

Mise- èn-scene

As my work is a book, it maybe a little hard to put Mise- èn-scene into it, but it is possible to do, I just need to really think on how to interpretative it  into the book.

Photography aspect.

• setting – The setting will be in a field / where horses usually are, I will mostly try and get the horses in action.
• Decor – this will look empty as i want it to just be the horse on its own mostly, I will be adding the skeletal features of the horse to show what damage it’s actually doing to the horse so it’ll be plain. The only part that’ll have detail is when there’s tack on the horse with a rider, that’ll be the minimum amount of decor.
• Lighting – The lighting will be fairly dark as the message I want to send a message that there’s more than it seems, this is really the whole focus on what i want to do.
• Depth of space –  There really wont be lot of this as It’ll mostly be one solid model and open space. However, I will need deep focus to make up for the lack of depth space.
• Costumes and Makeup – There will be no need for costumes of makeup as you need to wear particular gear when you go to a yard or even ride a horse for that matter.

In conclusion Mise- èn-scene is still essential for me, I will need to make sure i hit every box of this criteria.
