annotation of photographs

This image has used multiple focus as it makes us focus on both the person and the drum kit band the green day sign. This is done through the use of foreground and background which is able to make the size of certain parts of the picture seem larger or smaller then other parts of the photograph. The drum kit in the background looks very small this is because it has been framed at the back of the stage, this makes it appear as if the drum kit is really far away especially with the person being very close to us and him appearing to be much larger. A low angle has been used to take the photograph this is good as it is able to show the guy as being powerful key as the camera is looking up at him.

This image has been taken so as that our focus is on all of the characters but so that we are pulled in by the central character. We are pulled in by the central character as her eye line is exactly at our eye line makes us immediately focus on her. The focus is also being put on her by the fact that she is pushed forward in front of the other people. The depth of field has also been used in this photograph by the way the people have been framed between an ally. This is able to give the picture depth and makes it appear more interesting. Cropping has been used to get rid of the peoles bodies this puts our focus more onto their faces and their expressions. By cropping out the front ladies hands they have been able to make appear as if she is holding the camera lense.

This image is interesting because out of the four models only one of them is actually looking at the centre as all the others are looking in opposite directions into the distance. This makes it seem as if the person looking at us is central to the band and is most important.  The model that is standing at the front, shows that he is the leader of the band and therefore has the most authority from four of the males.
Two of the models on the left hand side are wearing clothes whereas the other two are topless. From this we can infer that the genre of the magazine, may punk or rock. None of the characters have their bodies straight on this gives the image more perspective.
 This makes the audience wonder what could be further than the picture is actually showing.
 The shot that has been used in this image is a mid-shot this is good as it is able to more fully put our focus onto the models eye line and is able to put our focus on the focus point of the image.

This shot has been taken from straight on, this has been done because it is able to make us viewers to focus our attention onto the subject of the photo which is the person holding the guitar. The depth of field is not very deep as the muse band member is right at the front of the picture. This is able to make us look at the image of the person and the way that he is dressed and the way that he is holding the guitar. This image has been cropped to cut out the persons legs, this has been done so as that we look at the person and the guitar. This is because it is this part of the image which tells us about the genre of music through the rock guitar he is holding. 

In this image rule of thirds have been used to shoot the band towards the right hand side of the page. This is able to make us look at the background of the image as well as the people. However we are still drawn into the part of the image with the people because of the fact that they are positioned at the front of the frame. The eye line of the characters match ours, this is effective because it is able to focus our attention onto them even though there is a large background.This image has cropped out the bands legs, this was done because if it hadnt our attention would be diverted away from the band members. 

Our group images annotation.

In this photo we have used a high angle shot. By using this type on shot it is able to give the image more depth making it much more interesting. By placing each character of the photograph at different stairs and stages of the photograph foreground and background have been used. This gives the image a different perspective and makes it more attention-grabbing and thought-provoking. This is also pulls our attention into certain parts of the image such as the front ladies face. By placing the certain person at the front this is able to suggest that they are the front man in the band or the main vocalist.

This image has been shot so as that one character is at the main focus of the image this is done by putting them towards the front of the image making them appear larger in comparison to the other characters in the image which are further away.  Facial expressions have been used to convey a variety of personalities and identities. The body language shown is very relaxed. By not taking this image against the wall or against a flat surface it is able to make the image have more depth making it seem much more appealing to look at then if it were to have been a flat image against the wall.

This image is good as it doesn't shoot any of the characters flat against the surface, instead all of the characters are at different angles with their bodies. This makes the image more interesting and less flat giving it more perspective. the eyeline of all the characters is also all at different angles whcih makes the viewers wonder what they are looking at. to improve this image it could be zoome din on so that we can see the focus of the image better rather than the background.

                                                                                 This image is good because of the eyeline match that has been used. By having one of the characters eyeline matching the audiences helps to make the audience eel involved with the image and pulls in our attention. this puts a person in the foreground and a person in the background. This helps to put our attention onto the whole of the image. A high angle shot has been used this makes it appear as if the characters have no power as they are being lokked down on and are at a low levels. however it is a good use of camera as it is able to show us the people.
