Anaylsing Genres - Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Drowning Pool

Red Hot Chilli Peppers are a band mixed with multiple genres - Rap Rock, Alternative Rock and Funk Rock, which are sub-genres concerning with the core genre of Rock.

Rock bands, according to the BBC, are deemed to have low-self-esteem, being creative and not hardworking.

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are often seen just in a shirt and jeans when performing a video, which is a sort of casual fashion.

The album covers of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers so how unorthodox the band's music are.

This Cover shows how that band refrences to their own name by having 3 of the band members having peppers in their mouths.

This Stadium Arcadium Album Cover show the band taking a rather gaming/retro theme towards the album.

¨Drowning Pool have a strongly different stereotype as a punk rock band. The band members often show of tattoos by wearing short-sleeved or no sleeved tops, which suggests they are show themselves of as hard men.

This cd ablum is an example of this, with all band members wearing sleeveless tops.

Photography - Different Types of Shots

Here are 7 different types of camera shots taken recently

This photo is a low angle close up shot which shows the superiority of the subject in question.

This is a high angle mid shot, in which a person takes a photo of something from a higher ground than the subject. The photographer in this photo took a photo while being stood on something to somehow make the subject look less signficant.

This photo is a shot which uses macro lenses, which smudges the background and just focuses on one particular object (in this case - a hand). Like the low-angle close up shot, it makes a subject stand out.

This show the rules of third which groups things in three. In this photo, we show 3 people standing in front of three sections of glass, which shows the rules of three.



These 4 photos show a variety of different shots which all have different meanings.

Music Magazine Intro

Right, this is the first blog of my music magazine coursework project. What I'll be doing is building up all the things I get from my Media Lessons, and putting it in this blog. Smiple?

As far as music is considered, I have a variety of music bands I enjoy listen to, all of them based around the ROCK genre. I like Alternative Rock Music from the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nickelback, Heavy Metal, from the likes of Motorhead and Metallica, and Rap Rock from the likes of Linkin Park.

The Magazines I would probably study are NME or Kerrang, because they both represent the rock genre in very unorthodox ways. While NME focuses mainly on Indie, Kerrang focuses on Metal Rock and other types of rock.

     NME                                                                   Kerrang

Below is the links to both the magazines websites and other music magazine sites which cover more rock and more genres.
