After taking all my pictures, I had to analyse them talking about mise-en-scene and say how they related to the target audience and the genre.

3. This picture I put on the contents page and it shows 2 artists’ who
are looking at each other as if they are about to have a rap battle
which is why I put it on the contents page because I wrote that
there is a huge rap battle between these 2 artists. Although there
is a window in the background, on the actual magazine, I cropped
it out so it is just the 2 artists’ and the bit of graffiti. I thought the
graffiti would add effect and help to appeal to the target audience
and relates to the genre too.

This picture is also on the contents page
and it is of 3 artists’ who are wearing similar
clothes to what real R&B artists’ would
wear. The snapback, watch, hoody and
chains help to give the reader this
implication and makes the picture appeal to
the genre.

his wrist which again is what most male
singers wear in the R&B industry.
Composition:
How both of the artists’ are
positioned underneath the light
and in the middle of the photo
makes them stand out more
and shows how important they
are to the reader.

6. The picture may look slightly
blurred out but the artists’ are
posing in a way that makes the
reader suggest what genre of
music they fit in to and by their
clothes, they can see this too. Composition:
As the picture is taken from the
side, the artists’ aren’t quite in the
middle and one of the artists’ are
nearer the camera which shows that
he may be more important than the
other member as he may be the
leader out of the two.

the laptop seem more important as both the artist
