This is the first draft of my contents page.

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?  

Mid shots and close ups have been used to capture the model’s emotion as well as include props and costume. Mise En Scene has been used well with the low lighting over the eyes presenting the model as intimidating and somewhat angry. The model is looking directly at the camera with draws the attention of the viewer (AIDA)

What choice of Mise en Scene is appropriate for the star image and genre?

The low lighting over the eyes is appropriate for the genre. The use of the prop guitar helps reinforce the metal genre. The model’s confident body language makes him look intimidating. The costume features a t-shirt from a band in the genre- authentic.

  How far is the font used readable and reflects the genre?

The fonts used for the cover line titles are eye-catching, and attract the reader. The text for the cover line descriptions is appropriately sized and contrasts to the background so it’s easy to read. The text is all justified which makes it look professional and symmetrical. The big text is appropriately sized and suits the genre.

What technical conventions of a Contents page are present and used effectively?  

Page numbers, cover lines, editors hello section, Images, graphic illustration (apothis)

How has InDesign been used to layout the page to convey a brand?

The colours are similar to the front page, the typeface is the same. The graphology and shapes is different and is appropriate for the contents page conventional layout.

 How well have the text and visuals been integrated together?

They all fit the colour scheme and genre.

Where has Photoshop been used to manipulate the photos to enhance the star image or genre? 

He has been cut from the background as a PNG so he can be inserted onto the contents page. The image has been cropped to a mid-shot. Eyes have been brightened.

 How is the language used appropriate for the genre and target audience?

Colloquial, easy to understand. However should’ve used more exclamatives, rhetorical interrogatives and superlatives in the headings to get the attention of the reader.

Very conventional, Very clear, Strong level 4/5
