2. This is the unedited image I
used for my main cover. The
stern, intimidating look on
both models create a sense
of competition between
grime artists. The close up
shot of both models and
contrast between dark and
light lighting highlights the
difference of both artists e.g
their gender. The
microphone positioned in
between both models is
specific to the music
magazine image.
3. I took this off-guard
action shot in order to
represent that all
famous artists are
normal underneath
their personas as
appose to what they
front about to the
media. This is a
longshot taken in
natural light which
highlights the genre
specific outfits they are
both wearing.
4. The models in this image are making gang symbols with their hands highlighting the
genre specific stereotype that grime artists focus on gangs/ postcodes in which they
represent. All models are seen to be covering their faces with masks or behind
another's shoulders which links to a quote mentioned by one of the artists interviewed
on the double page spread that it does not matter about look but the lyrics or flow that
an artist has. The background and lighting used here is clear and intriguing helping the
audience to focus on the genre specific clothing (brand endorsement.)
5. These genre specific items are placed on a white backdrop to contrast
the black colour in order for them to stand out. This shot is a high angle
shot so that the audience can view everything in the picture and also
highlights the genre specific brand featured on the cap. (This is an
aspect of brand endorsement.)
6. My models posed in such a pose to represent the tough exterior and
‘badass’ persona that all grime artists withhold. The model in the
background points at the camera to reveal an intimidating feel which is
supported by both models covering their faces with masks. I took this
image as a mid-shot with a white background to particularly focus on the
dark clothing which is stereotypical for my genre. The model in the
foreground is holding a microphone which is specific to music magazines
only.
7. The model holds a microphone which has a connection to the fact my
magazine is a music magazine. Also the model is wearing the clothes of
which a grime artist would wear for example a balaclava and teeth grills.
This shot is a midshot taken from below to create the effect of the artist
looking down on his fans.
