1. The lighting on this image is dark along with the use
of dark clothing, and background. This links the band
with the rock genre which is associated with darker
colours. The image is balanced due to the
symmetrical and balanced composition and the lack
of dead space around the band members makes them
the main focus of the image. There no full use of eye
contact which means the image has less impact on the
audience if used in a magazine.
This image does not use bold colours which means they are not
prominent against the background however they are made the main
focus due to the equal space around the subjects putting them in the
centre. The lighting is bright however this then contrasts the use of dark
clothing which associates them with the rock genre. The lead singer is
made the main focus by being in the centre of a symmetrical image and
being closer to the camera. The use of eye contact involves the reader.
This is a different type of band image because it
does not use the traditional style of band image.
This is due to most band member not being clearly
seen and the composition of the image with four
band members not being symmetrical. This brings
the attention on the un- obstructed subject implying
he is the lead singer. The bright lighting is in
juxtaposition with the dark clothing making the
band members more prominent and associating
them with the rock genre. Only two members use
direct mode of address however this still makes an
impact due to the lead singers eye contact.
The use of pastel coloured clothing does not make them
prominent against the white background however it associates
them with lighter music than rock such as indie or pop. The high
key lighting and the subjects smiling adds to the positive tone of
the image. The composition of the image means there is no dead
space around the band members therefore making the members
clear and easily recognisable. There is no balance in the image
making the image look less formal than the usual posed band
images.
2. The composition of the band image is unusual because it
does not use any direct mode of address which would be
likely for an image of an artist on her own to make an
impact on the reader. The high key lighting is in
juxtaposition with the dark clothing of which imply the
artist has an original style of music due to the different
clothing. The composition of the image draws attention to
her face due to most of the dress being cropped out of the
image. This also means the image would be larger in a
magazine therefore the subject would be more clearly
visible.
The use of bright colours associates the band
with electronic or pop music and will make
the image prominent on a magazine page. The
band stands out due to wearing darker colours
than the background which is different from
other band images which use a light
background. The use of darker lighting around
the image frames the band as well as the
balanced composition making them the main
focus.
