You me at Six

This image immediately represent You me at six as a rock band. The predominantly black clothing, a common colour within the rock genre and the denim jackets also reflecting the genre. The outdoor scene evident form the building materials behind the band shows the unorthodox nature of the band and the heaviness of the music they play.

Foster the People

Foster the people are an American indie pop band. The mise en scene of this image reflects this genre, the dark baggy t-shirts, check shirt and skinny jeans are prominent outfits for the bands of this genre, showing their casual and indie style. This im-age has a direct mode of address

from the lead singer therefore reflecting how he is the frontman of the band and usually in the centre of photos and most commonly seen when it comes to pro-

motion.

Max Milner

This image Max Milner, shows his place in the singer-songwriter genre. The old TV shows a retro side to his style; reflecting the simplistic singer-songwriter genre. The indi-rect line of address shows this genre as he is relaxed and also sug-gests the idea of the his own thoughts that go into his songs. The guitar immediately expresses that

he plays the guitar, as many singer-song-writers do to accompany their lyrics.

Iggy Azalea

Iggy is a hip hop / pop artist which are helped shown through the tattoos and snapback in the mise en scene. Tattoos are commonly seen through-out the hip hop genre as both public statements and personal body art. The snapback is also an accessory worn by many hip hop artists as it represents young urban fashion. The provocative tongue also reflects Iggy’s music and her performance style as well as possibly suggesting that it’s an easy way for her to be no-ticed in a predominantly male genre of music, the tongue is juxtaposed by

the indirect line of address.

One Direction

One Direction are a boy band creating music in the pop genre. Their modern, main-stream fashion of simple t-shirts with blocks of grey and blue colour reflects their mainstream music and the

casual style of their music they produce. The formal balance of this image re-flects their pop genre.
