Five rules of taking good images.

In order to fulfil assessment objective AO3, I have demonstrated the ability to plan and construct media products using appropriate technical and creative skills. I have also met objective A04, in that I have undertaken and applied appropriate research.

NO cluttered backgrounds

Make sure you focus on the lead singer if it is a band shot

If it is a single artist, make sure it's a medium shot and/or close up

Leave room for a masthead and don't cut off heads

No high angle shots - make bad covers

Animate your band - make sure they look at the camera

Below is a picture of two friends, animated in the sense of good image taking.
