Image 1
The image has been cropped so that Britney is the main focus and there is nothing else to look at apart from the background which is plain. It has been framed so that her upper body is the key part of the cover which only little of her lower body being shown. This shot is a long shot as the creator of the magazine wants readers to be able to view as much as Britney as possible to have a connection with her as well as the whole front cover. The front cover is similar to Playboy magazine covers as its showing off Britney’s body and revealing her thighs, stomach and chest which could be seen as provocative which is similar to what Playboy does with their magazine covers.
Britney’s costume includes a black bra, small polka-dotted pants/shorts as well as a white cardigan over her shoulders. This could suggest that she is a confident person as she is willing to show off her body to the world. Moreover, it shows that though she is a young girl at 17 she is mature enough and brave enough to be on the front of a worldwide magazine. This would appeal, gender-wise, to men or boys as it is an attractive woman in little clothing. On the other hand, it wouldn’t appeal to females as they are likely to think Britney is too revealing as she is almost naked. However, younger girls who enjoy her music and idolise her would be interested.
The props used are a ‘Teletubbies’ doll, which would suggest that Britney is still a child and young. It is ironic because she is quite revealing in the picture which contrasts to the child toy in her hand which may be used to suggest that although Britney is growing up in the spotlight, she is still vulnerable and is a child.
The setting appears to be bed sheets which have connotations like passion and love as it is the place lovers make love; however, it could also be seen as her being a young person as she is in bed. In addition, the material of the bed sheets looks like silk, which would imply that she is rich and wealthy.
The main colour used is pink as this is a very feminine colour which is associated with girls. Also, primary colours such as black and white are used to break up the image and make it seem more professional and mature.
Image 2
The image has been framed and cropped in a way to show off Britney’s best features. She is positioned in a way to show off three main sections: her face/head, her torso/waist and her derriere. These three things are usually when physically attracts men to women so Britney’s sections here have been taken advantage of to appeal to a male audience. A medium shot has been used to show off Britney from the waist up.
Britney’s costume consists of very little clothing as she is captured in just a pair of white knickers. This shows how she has grown up to be perceived as some sort of sex symbol, possibly. She is hiding her chest by pressing it up to the wall which teases the viewer as it isn’t exactly a ‘proper’ way to hide her chest, its more playful which would indicate that she wants a quite personal relationship with the reader. Britney’s front is pressed up against the wall whilst her back end is pushed against the other side of the wall suggesting that she is not a girl anymore as she has matured physically. The picture is set in what seems to be a bathroom which gives off a very provocative image and shows that she is no longer a girl.
Lighting is used to show in particular the main tings the creator of the magazine wants the reader to see, such as Britney’s face and hair. The main colour used is white as it represents purity which contrasts the image that Britney is portraying to add interest to the magazine as a whole.
