Britney Spears Analysis.

This is my anaylisis for 3 Britney Spears Magazine Covers.

The image, of Britney Spears, has been cropped as her legs have been cut off and the image has been enlarged so that she is closer to the audience. The type of shot that has been used is a high angle, as she is lying on her back; this is because it shows her body language and so that the audience feel more close to her. This is typical of a man’s magazine. Britney is wearing an opened buttoned white shirt, showing her black bra; she has no bottoms on but is wearing underwear. This suggests that she’s becoming a woman as she is showing off her body. This would appeal to men as; because she is getting older she is becoming more desirable for men. The props that have been used are a teletubbie teddy bear, and a phone. The messages that these are conveying to the audience is that she is growing up from being a girl to a women and she shows this by holding the teddy bear in one hand and a telephone in the other hand. The setting that is used is a bed with a deep colour for the sheets, the connotations of this is that she is lying on the bed to look more sexual. The colours that have been used are a dark feminine pink for the bed sheets that Britney is laying on, this colour is associated with lust and light pink and black for her underwear, using the colour pink repeatedly shows that she is feminine.

The image has been cropped as Britney Spears’ legs have been cut out of the image. It is a mid shot as the audience are positioned to concentrate on her upper body. Britney is wearing a pair of knickers but no bra although her breasts are pushed up onto a mattress.  Britney seems to be saying that she has nothing to hide that is why she is hardly wearing any clothes. This image would usually be used on a men’s magazine as she is very exposed and the image would generally attract men. White lighting is used to make Britney stand out, this is by having no other coloured associated with the front of the magazine, the audience is just going to be focused on Britney and not be distracted by another other colour that is involved because there is only one colour and that is White.  The colour white is used to contrast her as it shows purity and innocence.

This image has been chosen because at the time, Britney was going trouble a lot of troubles and was at a low point in her life. The black and white shows that it’s a very dull and sad time for Britney Spears.  The image is an extreme close up shot and has been cropped so it’s just a large image of her face. The shot type relates to the anchorage text as the shot is very effective on the reader as she does not look happy and she just looks plain, this relates to the anchorage text as it says ‘Britney Spears inside an American tragedy’ this shows that this is what she is feeling inside.The type of relationship that Britney wants with the audience is one of which they feel sorry for her and have sympathy for her because she is at a low point.  The anchorage text supports this by saying ‘inside an American tragedy’.
