Evaluation: Question 2- HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCTION REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUP?


Posture: The posture of the picture of Adam who I took, his posture looks really daunting and depressed, this is because in this picture he is singing on of his songs that's comes with at lot of emotion inside it.  Whereas the opposite photo also looks like he is into the song and is expressing his feelings though the song. The difference between both postures is that the first picture Adam is looking into the camera; face to face. Whereas the second picture is looking at the floor or at the microphone.

Angle: In both pictures the angles of the person is to the left hand side. This is so that you can see the props in the photo and also what’s in the background. The opposite picture does this really well and it doesn't give to much white space in the photo. Also in the picture I took I have tried to get it to the side as well to make it look like a rock star photograph.

Shot type: The shot types of the 2 photographs are both medium close ups. This is because I wanted to focus on my models facial expression rather than his whole body. I very much like the opposite photograph as well because this really gives a good example of how showing the facial expression better than the one I took, and you also get a clear picture of were about they are, even though the image is a medium close up of the face. The shot type represents the rock because in most of the pictures they are medium close up of the face to show the aggression and the effort that they are putting into the song.

Lighting: The lighting of the picture I took is really dark and makes Adam stand out a bit because the background is in the dark. There is a little bit of light but not much compared to the opposite one. The other one has a white background and looks really light compared to the picture I took. It looks like this one was photo shopped because of the white background. But it still looks like it’s a rock person, because of the way he looks and dresses.

Costume: The costume represents rock because they are dark colours that people associate to rock/indie bands. They wear them colours to make them look fierce and aggression as what you see on there faces. All these put together makes a rock/ indie band.

Expression: The expression on there faces are really focused and they look really into there music. The expressions on of the faces are really fierce and frightful and look really rocky. This represents the social group because they need to look fierce and angry because that is what people associate rock/indie bands to be. And there face paints a thousand pictures just by the look. It makes you want to dance and go mental just by the expression. This is what rock fans want by the music and with the expression of there face it lets your emotions go free.

Hair: The hair of the two pictures are really different, the picture I have took of Adam he has really short hair and the other has really long fizzy hair which normal rock stars have. I think it makes my picture look okay though considering that my magazine is an indie/ rock band and some indie rock bands do have short hair.
