Britney Spears Analysis

This is a medium/long shot and a high angle; I think this was taken as a long shot but then when it came to editing and creating the magazine they cropped out the bottom part. This shot was used to show the reader that her life is just starting; this is the beginning for her because she’s going from one side to another. This shot makes the reader look like they are on top of her, this appeals mostly to male readers, so they will think they're on top of her.

Britney spears is wearing a bikini bra and sleeping shorts which is called a lingerie and a white school shirt. The white shirt connects with her first single which was 'hit me baby one more time', this costume makes her look really sexy/provoking and eye catching for people to see but it would mostly aim at the boys/men and her fans, showing the sexy side of teen Britney spears.

In this image she is holding one of the Teletubbies character Tinky Winky and a telephone, I think the toy is showing that she has a sweet side of her and that she’s young she’s still a teenager showing her childhood and the phone is showing the naughty side of her, showing she has two different side, this could also indicate that her life is just getting started, she's about to experience the fame life.The intertextual references is the Teletubbies toy this shows that she still young and has a childhood, with this toy it shows that she’s young and she’s starting to turn into a grown up women by wearing a lingerie and entering this whole new feminine world.

The colours used in this magazine are hot pink, purple and light pink. The colour hot pink is used to show that feminine side, where she’s lying on a bed and the purple is the colour of the Teletubbies character, the light pink is that colour of her outfit with a black bra. The lighting used is very bright it focuses on her body. The lights are focused on her body is to catch the male reader, by making it eye catching to the male reader they will then buy the magazine.

This image of Britney Spears is a medium long shot, I think the photographer took a long shot first and when it came to making the magazine cover cropped the bottom part out so that it can fit into a magazine size. I think this particular shot was used because the magazine photographer wanted to only show her upper body rather than her whole body, because this part of the body is the attractive part, the part where male readers is most interested in.

The costume that she’s wearing is underwear, but she’s leaning on to the bed sheet, this shows the feminine side, showing she’s a woman now, showing she feels and knows she’s sexy, and it's tempting the reader. The pose she’s doing shows them her sexiness, it shows she’s slim, she has a big bum. The whole cover will attract the audience. The bright light and colour white symbolises that she’s a sex goddess.

The settings is that she’s trapped in between two bed  mattresses and that she’s holding and leaning onto a bed sheet, this connects with anchorage texts cause it says ‘being alone’ so she’s stuck in between the mattresses.   

In this magazine cover a close up shot is used, this close up shot is to show the reader the face of this artist also it shows her facial expression. This shot was used because she looked sad it connects with the anchorage text which says Britney Spears inside an American tragedy, giving us that she's sad, depressed and worried.

This image is used to connect with the anchorage text. Black and white colour show how serious this problem that she's in, it also show sadness and confusion of her life. The photo could have been taken as a mid shot but when it came to creating the front cover and making the story to relate onto the picture they cropped out the others and made it look like a extreme shot

The atmosphere of this magazine is to show sadness, gloominess and depression. This is because the storyline of Britney is a tragedy, meaning she has experience something that's really bad and it has affected her life and now she wants to share her story to the audience.

The relationship that Britney wants with the audience is to get the audience know how it feels to be her right now and the pain she has experienced she wants to tell them her side of the story and get them to understand how she feels and be on her side.
