Comparing photographs of models

Amanda Wheeler

Standing up straight

Facing towards to camera

Eye contacts with the camera

Shoulders back stood in a strong stance

Medium long shot to show body stance and clothing

Stood close together or leading on each other

Posture

The strong, shoulders body stance suggest confidence in what they do

Eye contact with the camera suggests arrogance or the attitude they have on stage

Facing towards the camera suggests full self expressions hinting towards the behavior of the music they play

Stood close together or leaning on one another suggests a sense of unity as they have formed as a band and unite when on stage

One person stood in front of the other suggests leadership amongst the band hinting at the position that they play or age.

Gesture

Full coverage but pale foundation/powder to get a natural, simple look

Eyebrows in a natural shape but darkened to add structure to the face and depth

No make-up on lips to get a natural look and give off the impression make-up isn’t needed

Eye make-up is used to make the eyes stand out and be bold so you focus on them as they are looking into the camera to give the feel of direct address

Slight contouring to give depth and no added colour, all neutrals to convince the viewer that they’re looking at confident, natural people.

Make-up

Two different colours in the hair which is on trend at the moment so labels the band stylish

Look like natural waves which works with the slight make-up giving off a natural look

Natural colours to give the impressing of confidence and a feel of not to change but use other features to stand out to people

Roughly tied up or left down to give a relaxed look and suggest that this is their real personalities

Not made to be an attraction in the picture unless people like the simple style

Hair

Eye contact with the camera suggests that the models have a confident attitude and want to portray themselves as confident towards the viewer

Strong body language and stand up in a straight posture shows the models are portraying arrogance

Facing towards the camera working alongside the eye contact again creates a feel of confidence

The straight facial expression portray the raw attitude of the models and the attitude that comes as part of their rock and roll lifestyle

Attitude

The use of make-up to subtly highlight features such as eyebrows, eyes and cheeks makes the face become more of an attraction and will make the viewer look at the face

Facing towards the camera with the emotionless facial expression it creates a feel that an attitude is there

The serious facial expressions are something that are associated with rock and roll music making them seem like they belong in that genre

Facial expressions

A medium long shot has been used to show the models clothing and style

The medium long shot shows the models attitude through their body language and allows the viewer to sense it

The shot was taken from directly in front to emphasis the fact the models are facing directly towards the viewer, along with eye contact and strong body posture.

Angle and frame

The girl band I used one my front cover I wanted to be similar to Haim because they share the same genre. In both of magazine the models are giving of a rebellious attitude by giving the camera direct eye contact and not showing any or much emotion through facial expressions or body language which I believe fits in with the set reputation already given to them by the type of genre that they are in. I noticed that girl band which share the rock genre such as Haim wear neutral coloured clothing which I imitated with my models keeping them in pale colours such as mint, cream, white and grey. Also the make-up used is very simple and only used to define certain features such as eyebrows and lashes which I replicated but defining the eyebrows with a darker shade, keeping the faces pale and using a rustic colour to define they eyes. The hair on Haim looks like it is naturally like that and hasn’t been done up at all which is also a feature with my models as a part of making the look more relaxed and suggesting to the audience that my models have the attitude to not care what other people think showing they lead confident care free lifestyles like a lot of people are portrayed when involved in the rock industry.
