Today I took my images for my front cover. I put all the photos in a folder and then created a sub folder for the possible photos that I can use and that would look good on the cover. It came down to 3 photos and I places them on my mock up to see which one would look best. I had a vote with the class and made them help me decide which one looked conventional to my electronic dance genre. Majority of them said this photo looked better:
I agreed that this was my favourite as it was the most conventional. My model is wearing glasses which shows he is superior and powerful, also with the low angle shot and the fact he isn't looking at the camera also makes him look superior. which is conventional for my genre. DJ's are wearing sunglasses a lot. my model is wearing headphones around his neck as if he has just been making music or has been at a gig. You would often see DJ's with headphones on.
The other photos to choose from didn't show he was superior as the model wasn't wearing sunglasses and was smiling at the camera. Although the smiling does give a friendly impression, it isn't conventional to my genre.
By looking at this main image you can tell the genre is electronic dance. Also, when I was asking people what genre does this look like, they did say electronic dance.
