CONTENTS PAGE PEER ASSESSMENT
What type of shots have been used to create a variety of shot distances and how has the camera been used to communicate meaning?
The camera was mainly taking photos from a strange one with the model shooting using the mid shot technique where using a model is mainly ‘bust up’ creating a professional quality image, while capturing the models face expressions as well as body language. For example in the contents page the model can be seen holding a Saxophone which relates the genre of Jazz, and in the bottom right corner is wear sunglasses with a Harmonica also tied back to the genre.
What choice of Mise en scene is appropriate for the star image and genre?
The overall costume choice and props fit the genre well, as the saxophone is often seen as one of the main instruments in Jazz. The old fashioned sunglasses also communicate to the audience the Jazz fashion in the 60s, as well as the waist coat and fedora.
How far is the font used readable and reflects the genre?
The font is easy to read and clear to the audience both in size and font style making it easy to read. The font used for the main title is a son serif style font with
What technical conventions of a Contents page are present and used effectively?
The contents page has page numbers, additional information and images. The use of the number is used well and is easy to refer to as a reader. The page works well in drawing the reader in and making them read more.
How has Indesign been used to layout the page to convey a brand?
The design has used mainly light tones of colours which all are basses around light red to give off the sensible and clean genre. He also palace the models main image off the from the centre of the screen to allow room for the contents margin on the side. Furthermore he has added a white background to the image to separate the model from the text and margins. On the margin for the page numbers he has designed it to be easy to read and pleasing to look at, with a backdrop to add an element of separation and to make the section pop out more.
How well have the text and visuals been integrated together?
They have been integrated to the content well enough to work together, the photographic element is done well and makes it work. But I personally think there should be more referencing the genre in the text and like music notes dotted around the page.
Where has photoshop been used to manipulate the photos to enhance the star image or genre?
Photoshop was used to cut out the model and colour grade to the background to make it more conversational for post production. As well as possibly whitening of the eyes using the dodge tool, which show great intuition from the audience’s perspective.
How is the language used appropriate for the genre and target audience?
The language used for the genre and target audience works well and doesnt step over the line of standing out too much, although the only thing I would change is make it stand out a bit more and if all words start with a capital make sure it is continued.
Clearly, strong, good, satisfactory, conventional, well good sense TOP LEVEL 4
