3. For the RnB genre it is common to see artists on stage either
performing or receiving an award. Also there are a few
snapshots of artists at concerts or award ceremony's. Within
these images all that is seen is the microphone which is
iconography for a music artists. Also the background of where
the shots are taken which is either on stage or standing on the
red carpet in front of the wall that tells you who sponsors the
particular ceremony. This presents the artists while they are
performing for their audience, it also shows you their face
expressions whilst they are singing and hitting the correct notes
as they do. The reasons why the shots are taken in a range
where you can see their face expression is perhaps so that the
audience can feel as though they are there at the concert as
well, sharing the moments with the other fans too. The use of
the location creates the sense of representation for the artists as
being famous and also taps into the audiences desire to be like
them and perform like them. The shots are often shot mid while
the artist is singing so it gives it the effect of realism for the
audience.

6. In RnB magazines like; Vibe, RnB, Blender we see a range of
different images from artists in the music industry in outside
locations like on roads, in front of cars, standing with the sun
blazing down onto them and even at night giving the feel that
they are going out for a night with friends. This gives it the
effect of realism and being caught by paparazzi or even taking
pictures with friends or relatives. It makes you realise that they
are normal people still even though they are famous and well
known to others, also you see that they are down to earth and
knows exactly how to have a good time. Some of images look
as though they are going out to the shops or to visit family or
friends for example Mary J Blige’s image shows this explanation
clearly.
