                                              This picture highlights that J Cole is a rapper because
                                              the grey hooded jumper and the basketball
                                              highlights he is sporty. I think the black background
                                              represents that he is playing outside therefore this
                                              gives in a touch of an urban essence. The lighting in
                                              the photograph highlights the right side of his face;
                                              this also makes the diamond earring in his ear stand
                                              out. J Cole is in the middle of the rule of thirds, and
                                              the background does not give us an idea of where he
                                              is, this adds mystery to the photograph and gives us
                                              the impression that where he is may not be safe, this
                                              is effective because it adds excitement to the
                                              photograph.



In the picture Adele is to the right hand
side of the rule of thirds. This enables us
to see a window to the side of her; this
window also lets lots of light into the
frame and gives her a glow. This glow
gives us the impression that Adele is a
heavenly character and she is almost
represented as an angel.Her flower
earrings are also yellow to represent a
heavenly vibe. This tells us that her
music is an inspiration to her. However
her red lips create a binary opposition,
which tells us that her music is feisty to
get her opinions and views across.




                                                           This photograph of The Wanted is used to
                                                           represent that they are united as one. For
                                                           example as they are all looking in the same
                                                           direction and have parted from their game
                                                           of cards this tells us that if you aggravate
                                                           one of them you aggravate them all. This is
                                                           also represented by their facial expressions
                                                           as they have very stern looks upon their
                                                           faces. The red cards also symbolize danger.
                                                           Also the rustic walls in the background
                                                           suggests they don’t need to be in an elegant
                                                           place to have fun, this creates a fun vibe
                                                           and is used to represent that their music is
                                                           very engaging.
As Maddi Jane is in the centre of the rule of
           Amy Boardman
thirds this enables us to see the background
behind the artist, and as it is grass and soil
this suggests that she is a down to earth
artist and loves making music. The hi-key
lighting is used to represent the sun shining
on perhaps a summer’s day, which tells the
audience that her music is very sweet and
innocent. As she is turning around mid-shot
this gives us the impression that she is just
enjoying her day like she enjoys her music,
which tells us that her music is very fun and
enjoyable.

                                                                        of photography to suggest they are
                                                                        an indie band. For example the use of
                                                                        clothing in the photograph is used to
                                                                        represent they are very modern and
                                                                        fashionable. The graffiti on the wall
                                                                        in the background suggests that their
                                                                        destination is urban, much like the

                                                                        on the band members are used to
                                                                        represent mystery within the band
                                                                        and suggests if you buy the album
                                                                        and you don’t think you will be keen
                                                                        on it you perhaps will be mistaken
                                                                        and enjoy the band’s music.




This image of Taylor Swift is used to create a binary opposition to
her music. This is because her music falls under the category of
western country, and she is wearing a red dress and red lipstick.
This red lipstick is used to tell the audience of her music that her
music is innocent but has dangerous twists to it as they are all
written based on her feelings. The red lipstick also adds colour to
her face and defines her lips from the rest of her face. Her eyes are
stern but draw in the audience’s attention. This adds mystery to
the image with intrigues the audience and convinces them to buy
her album.
Amy Boardman                                                  This image represents that the band Foster
                                                                        the People enjoy music but also do not take it
                                                                        too seriously. This is shown by the lighting of
                                                                        the photo because this represents the
                                                                        sunlight, and as they are walking away from

                                                                        this tells the audience that they are going to
                                                                        have fun. The right third is filled with 2 band
                                                                        members. The centre of the third is used to
                                                                        emphasise the summer’s day. The left third
                                                                        may suggest that the member of the band
                                                                        wants to work on the music but he is being
                                                                        told want to do by the person at the front of
                                                                        the shot. The facial expression of the front
                                                                        band member is a juxtaposition to the formal
                                                                        attire that they are wearing, the suits that

The four rings on Miley Cyrus’s fingers emphasise the fact that she
has a rocky edge to her music. However her long eyelashes are used
as a juxtaposition to the rings as the eyelashes represent her
innocence. The fact that she is biting her thumb suggests that she is
nervous of what people think of her music. This suggests that her
music is a lot to her. As you cannot see her body or her surroundings
and just her face suggests she is a well known artist worldwide.

Band images

    Amy Boardman This picture highlights that J Cole is a rapper because the grey hooded jumper and the basketball highlights he is sporty. I think the black background represents that he is playing outside therefore this gives in a touch of an urban essence. The lighting in the photograph highlights the right side of his face; this also makes the diamond earring in his ear stand out. J Cole is in the middle of the rule of thirds, and the background does not give us an idea of where he is, this adds mystery to the photograph and gives us the impression that where he is may not be safe, this is effective because it adds excitement to the photograph. In the picture Adele is to the right hand side of the rule of thirds. This enables us to see a window to the side of her; this window also lets lots of light into the frame and gives her a glow.

    Amy Boardman This image represents that the band Foster the People enjoy music but also do not take it too seriously. This is shown by the lighting of the photo because this represents the sunlight, and as they are walking away from the black and silver drums in the background this tells the audience that they are going to have fun. The right third is filled with 2 band members. The centre of the third is used to emphasise the summer’s day. The left third may suggest that the member of the band wants to work on the music but he is being told want to do by the person at the front of the shot. The facial expression of the front band member is a juxtaposition to the formal attire that they are wearing, the suits that they are wearing highlight that music is their work as well as their passion. The four rings on Miley Cyrus’s fingers emphasise the fact that she has a rocky edge to her music.
