Group Photo Analysis







A


                                                    B


Above are two of the photo's taken during the group photo shoot, we took a total of twenty images and for various reasons we chose these two as the best ones.

We chose A as it contains all three band members in similar poses and shows a unity among them. the good thing about A is that it relates to the genre in that the majority of the band members have long hair a typical 'rocker' look. By having the instruments in view of the camera is also common in photo's of glam rock bands. By having just the one guitar in full view of the camera we link it to a photo of The Darkness. We placed Will in the middle as he is the shortest and if we placed him on the outside it would throw the image of balance, by having those of similar taller height on the outside it centers the focus.








We chose image B as it was not as serious or posed it was more fun and relaxing, it showed the band members having a 'fight' which is common among rock groups and we played n this to create an image for an advert. The downside of this is that they are posed to far away from the camera. If the image was more of a close up it would have been the better image as it seems to be something you would see on an advert.






Individual Photo Analysis

A                                                                                                                                             B




Above is two pictures of Nazza while B is more of the full body shot that we were looking for it lacks the quality that A possesses it also fits the genre of glam rock its fun and a bit different and a nice shadow is cast of from behind him.  Image B looks darker and does not fit with the other one peoples chosen images. Also image A has more facial expression which draws people in.





A                                                                                   B

Above is two pictures of Will both pictures are of a good quality, however we decided to use picture A as it looks more relaxed than picture B as B looks more posed and tense. Also it seems to be caught mid    shot as his facial expression is not fully set. The good thing about both images is that a slight shadow is created behind them.




A                                                                                                                                            B














It was hard to choose between which of these images of Northey to use as both had aspects we were looking for Image A had more of a full shot but looked posed. However, image B looks more relaxed and fun but image B has a lot missing from the photo such as his arm and the rest of the guitar had these been included we probably would have chosen to use this one. We decided to go with image A as it fits better with the ones we have chosen of the other members and will make the flow smoother from image to image.
