Oasis give a really intimidating attitude, which is quite youthful and 'cocky'. The shot type is low-angle which achieves this look, especially with the lead singer looking down at the readers or viewers like an 'oi' look and the only guy not looking, turning his head to look at something else which is distracting. It's also similar to a long shot, so you can see what stance they have, which is also 'cocky' and dominating over the viewers. The facial expression of the band members is really bland and moody but it suites this style so it's quite perfect for what audience it wants to attract.
I like this photo mainly because it's different from the rest of the original 'moody' attitude even though it's put in the same magazine and appeals to the same audience. The main singer is reaching out to the camera, with a different facial expression, which is quite wacky and weird - but that's good because it's different and shows a bit of individuality compared to the rest of the magazine. The rest of the band have different facial expressions, but they aren't boring.. especially the guy on the left making the hand gesture. It creates quite a fun atmosphere within the picture and implies the genre of the find is quite pop rocky, which it is. This is also perceived through the colours of what the leaders wearing, with her bright orange make up and the guys behind her are dressed in black, making the colour stand out more. The background is bright and eye catching too. Overall this is quite a different photo compared to the other band photos captured on this type of styled magazine. It will probably appeal to people at the lower age boundary.
This third photo is a band called 'The Courteeners'. They're mainly the indie side of the genre I'm aiming at. Their mood expressed through this photo is similar to Oasis's ( the first photo I did ) but they have changed the way each person is stood; where and what stance. The main leader, as usual is always at the front and the main attraction, because this way the audience will know what band this is, as they have the main recognition. His facial expression is quite bland and he's staring out the reader. It suites this genre a lot because most other bands within this sector do the same too, it's just become a "trend". The band member at the back, sat against something is giving a ' can't be bothered ' stance and look which is probably why he's had a long shot on him.
