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?
A mid shot is used in order to capture both the position of the model as well as the chosen costume to convey its relation to the indie genre. This demonstrates an understanding of positioning and lighting which results in an image that is conventional to the indie pop genre with use of a midshot also allowing the conventional body language for this genre to be shown.
What choice of Mise en scene is appropriate for the star image and genre?
The outfit worn by the star is plain yet is appropriate for the indie pop genre with the green tone of the knitted green crop top going well with the model’s skin tone. The jewellry used also compliments the genre, as well as the model’s warm facial expression.
How far is the font used readable and reflects the genre
The bold, sans serif font is clearly legible with the exception of the words “up to” which appear to have text between them and generates an aspect of volume representative of the music found within the genre. However it lacks variety as the same font is used both for headlines and body text which leads to a lack of variety in graphic design.
What technical conventions of a Contents page are present and used effectively?
The lexis used within the headlines is conventional to the genre with references to well-known pop indie artists and word choices such as “thrifting” and “rumours.” All conventions of a contents page have been made use of with the bright ombre background contrasting nicely with the blue tones of the headlines and the heading of the page.
How has Indesign been used to layout the page to convey a brand?
Care has been taken not to add too much text to the page in order to prevent it from being overbearing. The different page numbers being in outlined circles makes the product easier to navigate for the audience.
How well have the text and visuals been integrated together?
The colour palette of the images and text parallel nicely with light and bright tones that go together well without being distracting, however the page number “11” overlaps the model, perhaps preventing the reader from fully focusing on her.
Where has photoshop been used to manipulate the photos to enhance the star image or genre?
Photoshop has been used well to make the area around the model brighter, aiding her to stand out. However the cutting out of the model in a couple areas such as the bottom left side of the lime-green crop top are a little rough, giving a slightly unprofessional feel to
How is the language used appropriate for the genre and target audience?
The language used is appropriate for the genre and the target audience will be able to identify it with. The word “indie” is used as a premodifying adjective multiple times showing the content is relatable to the target audience (indie pop fans).
Clearly, strong, good, satisfactory, conventional, well good sense
