Initial Advert Designs

In order to get a feel for what I'd like the advert to look like, I have taken some photos close to the images I have previously described:



I find the body shot photos quite effective, as they give a reflective, pensive attitude to the image, and the audience is forced to focus on the artist, and could spark the question: "What is he thinking?". it also represents a lot of emotion, which in turn could tell the audience that his songs are filled with emotion. The orange background also makes for a eye-catching image, and as they are leaves, it signifies the time of year, prompting the audience to relate even more. The fourth photo is a shot with simply just the body and bottom half of the head, whilst still being similar to it's predecessors, seems to draw the attention to the artist even more. Not only does he take up more of the frame, it draws more attention, as it adds a small sense of mystery, as the audience cannot see the entire artist.
The last two are side shots, with scenery in the background. As the artist is looking into the distance, it still keeps with the pensive, contemplative theme of the advert, as to allow the audience to want to understand the artists, possibly complex mind, and his emotions, which they could assume are portrayed through his music. I feel there's not enough of the artist in these shots, and should involve less of the scenery, as I feel it subtracts attention from the artist a little. Also, as these are only initial photos, I could consider changing the location, as to give a  more suitable view to suit with the theme of the advert.
