Firstly • I would like to establish why I have chosen the Red Hot Chili Peppers as my band to complete this representation study on… • Firstly I decided I was going to use the band due to my original aspirations to have a similar style ‘rock band’ to be featured as the main photo on my front cover. • I was hoping that by breaking down these photo’s this study would help me find some interesting photo’s and also make me think further about mise en scene, background, setting, colour cohesion etc when composing my photo’s for my publication.
Other band members are out of focus. Again putting more emphasis on the recognisability of the front man Kiedis. The lack of upper clothing is undoubtedly used to reinforce the idea that this is a classic rock band. As stereotypically speaking many rock artists are renowned for not wearing a shirt whilst performing (in particular Kiedis himself).
The inclusion of the horse in this photo is a subtle contextual link to their 2006 single ‘Dani California’, as that tracks album artwork iconically featured a horse thus for this photo they are referencing that particular song, perhaps in an attempt to attract a similar large audience that the very successful single did. Background seems significantly toned down compared to other backgrounds, the white/ plain background in my opinion puts more emphasis on the mise en scene and the facial expressions of the artists. Attire: Clothing of police uniforms is used most likely to represent an anti- establishment attitude.
Background seems significantly toned down compared to other backgrounds, the white/ plain background in my opinion puts more emphasis on the mise en scene and the facial expressions of the artists. Facial expression of the drummer Chad Smith is very wild Neutral colour cohesion -Not wanting to stand out
The background and composition of this photo suggests that this was not a professionally taken photo. The mysterious fifth member who is centered is most likely a fan and this is a quick fan photo.
