Homework 3]

The people that are involved are: Me, Jenna,

Mitchell and Sam.

Also this is an example of a location from a wall

outside a church.

People involved

The use of the stern body language (hands in pockets etc) connotes strength which is conventional. An example of a low angle to show authority is on the left. And an example of a midshot/long shot is on the right. Also both of the images show examples of costumes which is conventional because they are dark and have no colour.

Location-church wall.

Location-White mobile with gates.

The use of a plain (ish) background helps the reader interact properly with the people in the images as the wont get distracted. So for my real images I will make sure there isn’t as much floor as it is a distraction and isn’t very conventional anyway.

Locations

All of these locations are

conventional for the genre of metal/rock.

The reason that I chose to take my test shots in these ‘abandoned’ and creepy places, is because they fit in with .the genre of music, this is because the genre of music is shown to be different and not mainstream like pop music, and the locations show this as a pop magazine wouldn’t be taken in these places.

The use of a low angle in the top picture and the bottom left shows that they are powerful. Also the use of the ‘rock and roll’ hand gesture fits in with the genre of music.In all of the test shots the facial expressions are stern and serious, this is conventional for the genre of music because it is not stereotypical to show happiness.Having the ‘band members’ standing closer to each other shows that they are in the band together no awkwardly stuck in a photo.
