Image anaylsis and Composition



The  character on the right hand side, has an eye line which is in the top thirds  this gives him dominance over the other members of the band suggesting he is the lead singer. the sunglasses prevent the artists from having any direct address with the audience, giving them a sense of mystery.

The matching costume choice shows that all the people in the image are members of the band. The leather jackets suggest the rock genre of music.
The sunglasses used give the artists a sense of mystery, and rebellious attitudes.



The body language of the band suggests confidence and authority, standing tall and seem to ignore the camera. the lead singer is also positioned in front of the other characters again suggesting authority.

This is a close up shot the artists eye line is in top thirds this gives him power and authority. It also gives direct direct address to the audience, this makes the reader feel more involved with the artist.
The colour scheme in this image is also interesting as the contrasting background this makes the character stand out, but also relates to the genre or music (rock) as it is portrayed a quite a unsubtle and unique. The mise-en-scene in this image is also interesting as the dark make-up use and dark clothing suggests quite a dark and sinister character.

This image is a mid close up, this is important because of the body language and props withing the image, the shot only containing this artist suggest he is the leas singe/guitarist. His eye line is also in the top third this suggest power and authority. the lack of eye contact with the camera suggests maybe a shy character. The colour scheme also relates to him being shy as he blends in with his surrounding. this may also suggest that he is comfortable within his surroundings, and the role of the leading artist. As the images seams to be a shot of him at a gig/concert it gives the reader a feeling of being closer to him preforming.


Looking at these images and analysing them have been useful for gaining images for my own magazine. They have a range of different elements such as mise-en-scene witch is important in each image, although they are portraying the same genre they are also showing different character aspects. This made me think about the Mise-en-scene for my composition. Body language is also important in these selected images again to show different character traits. This will be important in my inages as the different artist will have to show clearly different personalities to make the reader react to each one differently. Also the different colour schemes used are interesting, this made me think of how i would want my colour scheme and how this would help to show the feature artists. Overall these images have helped me to adapt my original ideas  to be more effective and loo more professional.
