Research and Planning -Costume and props list

Costumes and props play a huge part in setting a scene for everything in media.I need to choose appropriate costumes for my modele to wear as well as consider what extra props I could include to make my photographs look professional. As I am creating a country and western magazine my costumes and props are more important than most as the style is very different to any other music genre and not traditionally seen in the UK.

Costumes
The costumes I am going to use have been chosen because I have done costume research using existing country music magazines.
My costume for my model for the front cover will be (top to toe)
Cowboy hat
Checked shirt i could incorporate a jacket I will see what the overall scene looks like
Possibly a belt
jeans
Wellies
Although I will use the same model for both my cover page and double page spread I will change the costumes slightly whilst still keeping to the traditional country look.
My costume for my model for the double page spread (top to toe)
Cowboy hat could be worn or wore round her neck(hung on her back).I could have this picture without the hat if I were trying to make it look more personal and less posed.
A check shirt will be used ,I could incorporate a jacket depending on the weather on the day of the photo shoot
Jeans or black leggings will be worn
I could use any footwear for these photos as I am trying to make the photo shoot look professional but less posed and more natural.

For both pictures i will use minimal jewelry but it will be lots of trial and error.

Make-up will be used on my model but will be used to look natural and hi-light eyelashes.

My model has short hair so it will just be straightened and tidy.

Props
I will use a number of different props to enhance my scene.Depending on the location of my photo-shoot will depend on what props I think will look effective.The props that I will have available are ;
Bale of straw
Western saddle
Lasso rope
Blanket
Acoustic guitar
A pony may be used in the forefront of the scene or may be used in the background
