Denotation
A picture of four men, on a single page of a double page spread in a music magazine.
Connotation
They are all either dressed in blue, or either wearing jeans which could connote their mood and how relaxed they are. Their long hair for 3 out of the four of them could suggest how laid back they are so they don't mind if their hear grows longer. These day, a lot of indie people are seen to wear check shirts, therefore, the fact that one of them is wearing one, could suggest that the band are a fan of indie music or maybe even play indie music.
Mise en Scene
Setting - The background is white and is most likely in a studio. The fact that it's not on location shows the effort to keep the whole image simple.
Props - Their are no props in this image whatsoever which could show the simple look that they were looking for; therefore, props were not needed.
Costume - The costume that they are wearing can be classed as an 'indie' look. However, what they are wearing is so casual it can give the reader the impression that they didn't change and they just put on the first thing they saw in the wardrobe.
Light - The lighting is very basic and natural. Lighting that is un-naturalistic is not needed and is therefore not used.
NVC - Their non verbal communication is very relaxed, calm and very comfortable. However, they look like they are doing the interview just for the sake of it
Anchorage
The font and style of the writing are not the same yet they look very similar and work well together. The colour of the writing is black and silver/grey but they work well together as they both have a mellow tone to them. The font also looks very valuable, arty and grand, but not that posh. This is how the editor may have wanted the band to come across as.
