Final Front Cover

My front cover has been altered to follow typical conventions of the indie music genre more strongly. My first photo shoot was planned and I researched common conventions to ensure I was following them accurately throughout my work. Despite this however,  the lighting was slightly too dark, and adjusting the brightness level made Ambers face too difficult to make out as clearly. 

Final Contents Page

I decided to change the overall style and appearance of my contents page to better suit common genre conventions. I also had a more recent photo shoot with higher quality images, which I used throughout my work to ensure I was completing my work at the highest standard possible.

Final Double Page Spread

Like my front cover and contents page, my double page spread has changed significantly since my first draft, due to me wanting to follow genre conventions more accurately in order to appeal more to my target audience, and the quality of my images improving after my most recent photo shoot.

My double page spread both supports and disrupts Laura Mulveys theory (1975) of women being presented as 'sexual objects of desire', because although Amber is wearing a rabbit mask so you are unable to see her face, the audience would be able to see parts of her skin. On the other hand, the rabbit mask can be seen as terrifying and threatening, which will take away any aspect of Amber being sexualised due to the clothes she is wearing.
