2. Table Of Contents Images
After taking my pictures, going through them all and then narrowing down my choices, I
was able to select the best seven images. At the end of the presentation I have selected
the two images (main and secondary) I will use for my front cover.

5. TOC Main Images1)
Advantages:
• Good use of Mise en Scene
• The model is positioned well, giving the
illusion the angel wings are her own or she
had created them
Disadvantages:
• Distractions such as the other graffiti art
and the construction fence.
• The model is standing in front of graffiti and holding their skateboard to the side. It
is representative of those who enjoy skateboarding or graffiti as it can show a
musician in an urban environment or different aspects that influence rock music.
• Image A) of Kellin Quinn, lead vocalist of the famous band Sleeping With Sirens, is
spray painting a wall. This is representative of graffiti artists or the target audience
as he is looking over his shoulder cautiously, in fear of being caught as typically
most graffiti art is believed to be an act of vandalism. Therefore the model can be
perceived as just created the angel wings and is stepping back to pose with their
work, incorporating the idea of art being influential with music and behaviour.
• The use of Mise en Scene can be representative as the clothing the model is
wearing is overall neutral as it is black, however items such as the jacket and the
hoodie may represent skater groups such as ‘indie’ as they are stereotypical items
of clothing.
• The use of the sunglasses as a prop brings to mind that the model is secretive and
mysterious. This can be supported by the use of the limited lighting as the picture
was taken at night which further gives the illusion the skater model discreet and
unseen.
• The use of the jewellery as a prop promotes the femininity of the model which
contrast their clothing and skater image which is stereotypically represented as
masculine. Image B)below of rock star Avril Lavigne also goes against this
stereotype as she is known for being a female ‘punk’ skater and musician.

2)
Advantages:
• The camera is closer to the model, allowing features
to be clearer
• The skateboard is seen at a better angle than the
previous image
Disadvantages:
• The model is standing at a bad angle and is not in
line with the wall so the wings look out of place
• I chose to have the model’s back turned to the
camera as it supports the idea that they are
secretive and mysterious.
• The lighting used also supports this as it is very
limited and looks like it is night time in the
image , which represents graffiti artists or
skaters as this is the key time they would go out
to do their work as they won’t be caught or
disturbed.
• The skateboard is shown at a better angle here.
This is representative of those who enjoy
skateboarding or graffiti as it can show a
musician in an urban environment or different
aspects that influence rock music.

7. Image Chosen
1)
•I chose to use this image as it more
effective than the other in conveying
that the model is both a skater/rock star
as in this image the audience is able to
see their face.
•This image also still is able to retain a
sense of secrecy and mystery through
the use of the models black clothing and
sunglasses which are simple, dark and
do not reveal too much about their
character.
•I also prefer the way the model is
standing in this image as they are in line
with the wall and able to display the
graffiti angel wings.

9. Research behind the poses

from the camera.

10. TOC Secondary Images
Advantages:
•The model’s poses seem casual and friendly
together.
•Disadvantages:
•The angle of the left models legs seems
strange

B)
Fall Out Boy’s first album cover Jared Leto hiding his face from
the camera.
•I wanted the models to physically touch in this image to represent a
connection and friendship.
•The model on the right is supposed to appear camera shy or disinterested in
the picture through the use of the prop of the red baseball cap. This is
reflected through Image B) below as the rock star is also using an item of
clothing to help hide their face.
•There position against the wall is also representative of friendship between
two people or band mates. This is reflected through Image A) below of the ban
Fall Out Boy. In this picture all the band members are sitting with their back
against the wall and almost leaning on one another showing their comfort and
good relationship with each other. This can be representative of the target
audience as they will idolize band members and their friendship or be able to
relate to it with their own friends.

11. TOC Secondary Images
Advantages:
The model’s poses seem casual and friendly together.
Disadvantages:
•Although the model on the left’s facial expression is
natural and makes the pictures seem like it is
unexpected, but it would have looked better if they were
looking at the camera
•Their shoes have been taken out of the shot
2) •I got the right model to slightly move their head back from the left
and stare at the left model (despite the fact you can’t see their eyes,
this is still evident from their body language). The Left model is
looking down and laughing.
•This can be represent friendship of band members or the target
audience themselves as it shows they are connected e.g. through
the colour of their clothing and they are both wearing jeans.
•The model on the right is supposed to appear camera shy or
disinterested in the picture through the use of the prop of the red
baseball cap. This is reflected through image below as the rock star
is also using an item of clothing to help hide their face.
•Also there position sitting on the floor can display their
relationship. For example the left model could be playfully mocking
the right, but they are still comfortable around one another e.g.
shown through the way the left model is laughing.
•This can be representative of the target audience as they will idolize
band members and their friendship or be able to relate to it with
their own friends.

Advantages:
•The gesture can be representative of shy or antisocial
people such as ‘punks’ and ‘goths’ like the models.
Disadvantages:
•It may seem offensive to some people (although it can
be edited)
3) •I selected this image as it is a high angle two shot and conveys the relationship
between the two models as they are sitting below the camera and are separated from
it, therefore the viewer, by distance as if they are in their own world or private
conversation.
•They are sitting quite close to each other which shows that they know each other well.
This can be seen as typical in a relationship with band members looking at Image A)
which is of the band Fall Out Boy. They are all sitting close by to one another. The very
last band member on the right is slouched very low which shows he is comfortable with
his band mates.
•My image is also able to reflect Image A) as the models are not smiling just like the
band. This could represent a close group of friends or a sub-culture e.g ‘punks’, that are
being disturbed by an outsider with a camera, which is why the band and the models
are disinterested/defensive.
•However it also displays a contrast between their personalities.
•The left model is doing a typical rock star pose and looking directly into the camera,
while the right model has their head lowered so their face is not visible as it is blocked
by the baseball cap. They are making a rude/ defensive gesture as they cover their face.
This could be representative of a shy person or a temperamental rock star that doesn't
want their picture taken . This can be seen as typical for a celebrity or a rock star as
shown through image B) below.
•Image B) is of the rock star Jared Leto. Similarly the right model is wearing a dark
jumper and displaying their hands close to their face as a defence.

13. Image chosen
2) •I chose this image out of the others because the models are contrasting each
other in their poses.
•While one is encouraging the camera and posing, the other is keeping their head
down and hiding their face while making an offensive gesture. The gesture could
represent an anti-social or temperamental rock star.
•This could be representative of two groups the product will me aimed at: Goth’s
and punks.
•The models costumes are also supposed to contrast each other. Similarly they are
both wearing a black item, however they are overall different.
•For example the left model is wearing boots and dark grey jeans, giving a sense of
consistency in style and colour.
•However the left model is wearing light denim jeans, white trainers and a red
baseball cap, not showing their face or hair or showing off their props like the left
model. The right model appears more masculine, uncaring and in control by
making the gesture to show they do not want their picture taken. This
representative of the masculine and feminine balance of a rock band and
promotes equality to the audience.
•The left model’s jewellery is representative of women e.g. the bracelets, but also
incorporates some masculinity such as the boots and the skull ring showing
equality- that women can do or wear what men do.
•The two shot also represents friendship and the unity of the band. As it is at a
high angle two shot and conveys the relationship between the two models as they
are sitting below the camera and are separated from it, therefore the viewer, by
distance as if they are in their own world or private conversation.
•This can also be representative of the target audience as they will idolize band
members and their friendship or be able to relate to it with their own friends.
