Selection and rejection process

Selection

I chose the front cover image of the girl playing guitar as I though hr eyes looked really good and fierce and gave across the type of image that a Indie artist would have. It shows as she is a solo artist her strength alone on the front cover. Also the fact she looking straight at the camera makes it look like she is looking directly at you so therefore at the audience to make her appal to them as this attractive young Indie star. Furthermore it is a medium close up so it focuses on the shoulder upwards and also shows her guitar to show she is multi talented.

The next image on the front cover of the twins I chose this to shot as it was close up and focused on the boys similarity as they are twins and it is very rare to find band with twins in. Also the boys are both looking rather serious again which links to the Indie image they try to put across. Plus if they where single images it would look like a criminal snap shot therefore linking to the title of the article Twin Trouble and also could connotate they are rebellious. Also in the image they are both looking away in the image this could connotate they are not bothered by the fame and they are trying two normal teenage boys.

The image in the top right of the mid shot of the young girl I chose because again she is looking directly at the camera to show of her looks which would appeal to the young male audience. Also it is a single image of a female artist so could show how she is trying to be independent and doesn't need anyone help to become famous. This then shows to the audience that no matter who you are you can make it.

The image in the middle on the right side of the girl leaning on a tree I chose because it shows her in a different environment and could connotate that this girl is adventurous and has visited many places. Also it could show she likes living her life on the wild side and the music produces could be something along those lines. Also the Mid shot puts her in the centre to show she is the star and the one that the attention is on.

The final image on the contents page is again of the twin boys this time they are both looking up as though looking at the stars or sky as there fame has allowed them to reach for the sky/stars. Again it is a two shot to show that there attraction is that they are famous, talented twins and that it was attracts the audience. They are also close together as this shows they have a strong relationship with each other and this could be a reason behind there success.

The central image on the double page spread I chose because it shows them fighting and this relates to the title of twin trouble. As fighting is troublesome and could connotate to the audience that although they are famous they still have chance to behave like normal twins and play fight sometimes. Also it shows that they have a good relationship even when they are under pressure from being famous. Again it is a two shot to show again that they are twins and they have the relationship that any normal twins would have.

The two shot of the boys in the bottom left corner of the DPS shows them listening to music, this could then connotate to show us that although they are famous they still have time to do normal teenage things like listening to music. Also this would then make it appeal to the audience as they would see the boys listening to music and then think if they do it so should I. Also again it shows there closeness as they are doing it together as twins would to show they have a normal twin relationship.

The final image is of a Mid long shot of both the boys again to show again there closeness and again that they are famous due to the fact they are twins and in a band. Also they are doing the iconic shot of both looking down away from the camera to either corner which could connotate they are modest about their fame and they dont really realise how famous they ar. Which links into one of the questions in the article where they say about how their parents try shy them away from how famous they are and they do try to be Normal teenagers best they can.

(These images just look at the front cover, content and DPS)

Rejection

The reason I did not chose this image for the main image of the front cover is because she is looking down away from the camera. Also her face is to dark really for the type of image I was trying to get across. Furthermore she has quirky smile on her face that doesn't really suit for the type of artist I wanted her to be. Plus she looks to slouched and that would give of the image she is lazy and know artist really would want to be known as lazy.

The reason I did not chose this image of the boys for the front cover is that the twin on the right has a dodgy smile on his face which doesn't really suit with image we trying to portray of them. Also there is to much distance between them which again doesn't suit the image as we want them to appear as close brothers as that is why they would make a band together. Furthermore the image is slightly blurry so the focus is not right for a front cover image and also the lighting behind the boys is to dark so shadowing the back of the boys heads.

I didn't choose this image because her face is not looking at the camera so therefore not addressing the audience which is not what we wanted from the image. Furthermore because she is looking down her face becomes in shadow and therefore you cannot really see her. Plus she has her eyes close which gives of the image that she is trying to blank out the audience which is not really an attractive thing for a famous person to do.

I didn't chose this image for the contents page as she is has a bizzarre look on her face so therefore not very appealing to the men reading the article or purchasing the magazine. Also because of the shadow from the trees her face becomes in shadow so not very clear and also she is not really focused or looking towards the camera therefore not drawing the audience into looking at her.

I didn't chose this image for my contents page because the two shot of the boys has one of them with a strange look on his face so obviously could not be chosen as it would give of a weird vibe to the audience. Also the right twin has one eye closed and this if used would have connotated trying to block out his brother and as they are in band would not be a good image to give of. Also the idea of shot was for them tp be looking up away from the camera and the left twin was so another reason not to choose this image.

I have not chosen this image for my double page spread because first of all the image is blurry so could not be used as could hurt the eyes of the audience trying to focus on it. Also the image doesn't appear right because the boys seem to be of the rule of thirds so mes seem of centre. Also the look on the left twins face makes him look slightly drunk which would definitely not give of the right image.

This image of the boys fighting again appears to be slightly blurry so not suitable for the DPS. Also the face of the boy getting punched is to contorted and doesn't really look appealing to the audience or funny which is what we wanted. Also in the image I wanted them both to be trying to throw a punch therefore linking to the title of twin trouble, this image would make it twin bullying. Furthermore the left twin throwing the punch seems to be laughing which is not good as it shows he is enjoying the idea of punching his brother in the face which isn't really a good image for a band.

This image was not chosen for the DPS because the twin on the left is looking away from the camera and not at his phone which is what I wanted him to be doing as it would show him in a relaxed environment. Also the twin on the right has his eye closed this therefore makes it look like he is completely ignoring the audience which is not a good image to give of. Also the twin on the right seems to be of the rule of thirds therefore making our attention not be grabbed by him.
