1. the style, lighting, composition and impact of the images.
RnB
Rihanna is an R&B artist; this is highlighted
through the high key lighting which is used
to suggest an upbeat mood as the image
is free from shadows. The artist stands out
due to her red costume, which connotes
passion and energy which is associated
with the R&B genre. Also, the composition
of the image is symmetrical. As this is a
close up shot of Rihanna alone, this
suggests that she is a solo artist as she fills
the entire frame showing she is the main
focus. The direct mode of address allows
the audience to engage with her
because women also aspire to be like her,
and she has a high sex appeal with men.
Classic Rock
The Beatles suggest the genre of classic rock
due to the costume of the characters. The
similar costumes on each band member
help to represent they are a band. The high
key lighting of the image makes the artists
stand out against the white background due
to their dark black clothing. The composition
of the image is symmetrical, this connotes
that the artists have equal power within the
band as they are equally spaced in the
frame.

2. Pop
Ed Sheeran is a pop artist which is
highlighted through the image. The style
of this photograph is fun, suggesting the
artist is humorous due to the unserious
nature of the image. This represents the
pop genre as light-hearted and
entertaining; this is also highlighted
through the key lighting.
Indie/Alternative
Oasis suggests an indie/ alternative music
genre highlighted through the style of this
image. The costume choice constructs a
representation of an Indie band due to
the light colours and denim. The blue in
the image is associated with tranquillity,
suggesting the genre of music is calming
and relaxing to the audience. As the
males are similarly dressed this connotes
that they are in a band, also due to the
balanced style of the image suggesting
the members are equal.
Metallica- Metal
The dark clothing, leather jackets and
tattoos suggests Metallica are a heavy
metal band. The style of this image
makes the artists look fierce and tough
which is associated with this music
genre. The symmetry of this image
suggests the band members are equal
as they are all equally balanced within
the frame.
