5 Seconds of
summer
5 seconds of summer are a pop rock band. This can be seen by the proxemics as they are all
stood close together like rock band posters are usually positioned. The colours are also black
and white and are very dark in some places which also suggest an element of rock. The props
in the scene are drum sticks which are being held by the man on the right suggesting e is the
drummer of the group. The expressions of some of the band members are serious which also
shows an element of rock and seriousness to the music. The hair of the band members is
either in an upwards quiff or in a messy look to the side. The clothing includes patterns which
can be portrayed as an explosion which can mean loud which rock music is. There is also the
pop element which is shown in the expressions of the two boys in the middle as they are
making childish faces.
Eminem
Eminem is a rap artist. There is a formal
balance as he is looking directly at the
camera. This means here is a direct mode of
address. The expression on his face is quite
serious so this can mean that he is very
serious about what he says or what he does.
The black and white also suggests
seriousness and the background and top of
the image is lighter however the image
starts to become darker towards the bottom
of the image. The image connotes the rap
genre as it is quite a serious image and that
is what rap music is and he takes it very
seriously.

Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin is an English rock band. The band has
the typical positioning of a rock bands image. The
lead singer is at the front of the image and the rest of
the members such as the drummer and guitarists are
in their positions which they usually stand in
probably on stage. The dark colours suggest this is a
rock band as you would associate rock as dark music
and dark colours. Furthermore the styling of the
band members suggests they are a rock band due to
their hair as it is long and also messy. The expressions
of the band members are quite serious which also
associates with rock as it is a serious type of music
which is also loud.
Katy Perry
Katy Perry is a pop artist. This can be recognised by the bright
colours and the setting also. The outfit she is wearing is very
girly which also suggests an element of pop music. The props in
this image are the deck chair, blankets, record player and also
sunglasses. The colour of the text pops out against the
background as the colours alternate so the pink text is against
the blue and white background and the blue text is surrounded
by pink, green and also flowers of different colours at the
bottom. All props are close together in this image with little
negative space. All colours in this image are very light colours
and they are used more than once. It is lighter on the centre of
the image and it is darker around the edges of the image.

Beyoncé
Beyoncé is a singer in the style of R&B.
Direct mode of address is used in this image
as she is looking directly at the camera.
Formal balance is used in this image as the
image has symmetry to it. The colours of
this image are mostly shades of black and
white suggests seriousness which is also
implied by the expression on her face. The
gold of the outfit stands out as it is a
completely different colour to the rest of
the image so your eye is focused and drawn
to the outfit she is wearing. This is not a
stereotypical picture for an R&B artist as the
images of other artists are full of colour
whereas this image is using tones of black
and white and also a gold colour.
