The document discusses photos that could be used in a magazine to feature up-and-coming artists. It analyzes several photo options that show the artists interacting with their musical equipment to emphasize their dedication to their craft. The photos are meant to portray the artists as likeable and hardworking while also relating to the magazine's target audience of teenage boys.

2. The artists for
my magazine
as a team
through this
photo, they
look pleased
with how
things are
going, but
seem a little
timid which I
think my target
audience will
appreciate as
these artists
are seen as
likeable people
as a result.
Also, they will
relate to the
youthful social
group as they
are young
themselves.
The DJ decks
are seen
clearly in the
background to
emphasise the
fact that these
artists are not
the same
without their
equipment.
The artist is looking up
towards the camera to hint at
a hopeful, promising future.
Bright
lighting
suggests a
bright future
for this
upcoming
artist.

3. Over The Shoulder Shot – Used to place
both the decks and the artist into the
same shot.DJ decks are
again included
to make a
continued link
with the
chosen genre,
Drum ‘n’ Bass.
The artist is
looking
down at the
decks while
playing his
music to
show his
dedication
and focus
towards it.
The photo is
given a
relaxed,
easy-going
feel through
the image of
the artist
practising at
home.

4. The darkness
of the photo
adds to the
mystery of
this new
artist.
The fact that
this is taken of
the home of the
artist shows
they are
welcoming.
Also, this is a
flat which adds
to the relation
with the target
audience who
should be into
underground,
hardworking
music.
Once again,
the artist
seems
focused on
their task.
Hints at a
hardworking
attitude.
Long Shot

5. Over the Shoulder Shot – link
with genre as we can see both
the artist and the decks.
The light is
shining over
the musical
equipment
showing that
it is what he
wants to do
with his life,
he will get a
bright future
when using
this
equipment.
Speakers are
clearly on which
emphasises the
need for big beats
in this music,
which the target
audience will be
looking for. Also,
as the artist is
male, he could
prove to be an
inspiration for the
social group of
teenage boys.

6. Mid Shot
The artists
are male,
which gives
the social
group of
boys
something
to relate
with them,
they have
something in
common
which may
persuade
them to be
interested in
the
magazine
when they
see it.
As the social
group for this
magazine is
not the
upper
classes, I
thought the
cramped
setting of a
flat would
show the
hard-working
nature of the
artist.
