Pop/Rock Genre



The Script are an Irish Pop/Rock band, they released there first single 'We Cry' in April 2008. The single peaked at number 15 in the UK singles chart. Their second single 'The man who can't be moved' was released in September 2008 reaching number 2 in the UK and Ireland. 

The Script announced a new single and album in July 2010. 'For the first time' from the album 'Science and Faith' was released in September 2010 and entered the UK charts at #5 and moved up to #4, and has entered the Irish charts at #1. The album 'Science and Faith' entered the UK and Irish charts at #1.
The photography in this image is taken professionally. The lead singer is at the front of the shot this is because he is the most recognisable person in the band, he represents the band to the public. He is in the forefront so he looks bigger than the other members of the band, this reflects his importance in the band.

                                                                                      

Maroon 5 are an American band that also come

under the Rock/Pop genre. Their debut album

'Songs about Jane' which was extremely successful

going gold, platinum and triple platinum in many

countries around the world. Maroon 5's latest album

'Hands all Over' has just been released. The single

'Misery' from the latest album has just entered the

UK charts at #30.
The photography in this image is quite simple, the
background is plain which makes the members of the
band stand out, this is done because they are the most
important part of the shot.





Digital Photography

This image is an example of framing, i have framed this photo so that the eye is let to the main part of the picture which is the priory.

In the photograph i used light to create the best result. I positioned the camera pointing up at the post box to make the most of the natural light. The light creates a flared effect.  

This photograph is an example of a close up shot. By using a close up shot I have framed only one part of the car to fill the frame. 



This image is a good example of perspective in photography. The arch creates a tunnel effect and it looks as there are two pictures.  



This photograph is and example of using angles in photography to create interesting results.

This image is an example of the rule of thirds, this is where the main part of the photograph is in one third of the complete imange.

This is an example of a distance shot through some trees. This image uses depth of field because it shows the foreground of the image and the background. This creates interesting prespective in the photograph.



Comparing Katy Perry and Paloma Faith



Paloma Faith and Katy Perry are both very popular artists that have become successful in the past five years. Paloma Faith's music genre is pop/soul with an influence of jazz which is demonstrated by her sophisticated but fun image. On the other hand Katy Perry's music genre is pop/rock wich comes through in her fun but edgy fasion sense.
Although their music genre's are different their image can be very similar at times, for example both their image's are influenced heavily by fasion from the fifties. They both have eccentric fasion sense and often have fruit inspired outfits. 

Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, more commonly know by her stage name Katy Perry was born in Santa Barbara, California. She was brought up listening to gospel music whic played a big part in the start of her career in 2001 when she released a self titled gospel album as Katy Hudson which failed with the closing of her record label later that year. In 2007 she signed to her fourth record label in seven years and adopted the stage name Katy Perry. She released her first internet single 'Ur So Gay' which got attention but didn't chart. When Perry released her first mainstream album 'One of the Boys' in 2008 she adopted a 50's pin up style, using bright colours and vintage fasion.

Katy Perry is known for her bold and unconventional style choices. She gained lots of attention at the 2008 VMA's when she wore banana themed playsuit. Her dress sense is ofter humerous and she frequently wears fruit themed costumes which have inluded: cherries, banana's and watermelons. She defines her fasion sense as 'a bit of a concoction of  different things. At the MTV Europe awards Katy bagged even more attention when she had 10 outfit changes throughout the show. These outfits included; an american football kit where she stood on top of a cherry chapstick; a blue owl dress; a carousel dress and many more. Katy never fails to give her audience something new and with the release of her 'Teenage Dream' album this year which reached #1 in the 'Billboard Hot 100' and is based on candy i'm sure there will be a lot more outrageous outfits on the way.

Although Perry's stage clothing is headline hitting, fun, and interesting. Outside of work she keeps it low key and comfortable. She adopts a more understated retro look, whilst staying on trend by wearing a black fedora which was one of this summer's biggest trends. 

I am going analyse the front cover of a 2008 edition of NME music magazine. The largest part of the front cover is the picture of The Wombats and the second largest is the name of the band, this demonstrates that the most important thing for the magazine is the advertisement of the band. The three main colours of this front cover are red, yellow and black. Yellow and red are both very bright colours which will grab the audiences attention and get them to look at the magazine. The black font contrasts against the yellow background which leads people to read the information causing them to want to buy the magazine. This magazine cover had many sub-headers such as 'Why Britain's gone silly for the lords of the indie dancefloor' to attract the interest of the consumers. I think the target audience for this magazine would be males or females aged 15-25.
