The Evolution Of Britney Spears

The image of Britney spears has been framed on a sheet of bed sheets to show that she is changing into a woman, but this image may represent that she is a sex goddess. The image is also cropped so that you only see part of the bed and nearly the whole of her body. The shot that has been used is a long shot to show all of her body, and to show what she is doing. I think this magazine is a music magazine because there are music artists on the front cover and their stories and music life.

Britney’s costume is very revealing because she is in her bra and short shorts which will attract young teens and maybe men to buy this magazine because she is so revealing. The props that have been used is a telletubby to show that she is growing up she’s turning into a woman, and the telletubby represents her being a child. Also there is a telephone in her other hand maybe that will represent that she is a woman and she can do what ever she wants, she could be on the phone to a boy or a boyfriend, she is telling the audience she is a woman she’s ready for the world.

The setting she is in is probably a bedroom because she is lying on bed sheets, pink bed sheets to represent that she is young, sexy and stylish. The colours that are used are pink, white and purple. I think they used purple for the title because it stands out from the rest of the colours and if your not looking at Britney you will see the title, the pink really stands out from the text because it is a bright vibrant colour.


The image of Britney spears has been cropped so she fits in the magazine and does not cover the whole of the page; she is standing up with just her underwear on so she is framed in a square sort of shape so she and her underwear stand out from the rest of the front cover. The shot used on her is a mid-shot so you can see what is going on in the image and to see what she is doing.

Her costume that she is wearing is also very revealing because she is only wearing her underwear with no top, I think she is wearing a men’s shirt in her hand to show that she ready for action, she also looks like a sex goddess in this image because she is showing a lot of her body and her facial expression is very serious but childish aswell to tell men that she’s ready. The audience might say that the image is too revealing and may complain because she is so exposed on a music magazine. The setting that is used I think is a passage way so she can squeeze her way through and still look sexy, I think they used this setting because she is very revealing and with this setting you cannot see much.

The lighting that is used is a high angle light so you can see her face clearly and the rest of the body, the writing is darker than the image so I think they used this light angle to make Britney stand out from the rest of the front cover. The colours that are used are white, blue, black and red, I think they used white for the background and her underwear to make her tanned skin stand out from the rest, the title is not that bold in this one because they used the same colours as some of the sell lines and is not that good, the black writing stands out because they are the main stories [main sell lines] for example ‘BRITNEY’ stands out better than the title because the magazine is about her.


I think this image has been chosen in this issue because the sell line is ‘BRITNEY SPEARS inside an American tragedy’ I think they did a close up of her to show her facial expression, to show that she is upset and very sad. The black and white effect is very affective because it makes the audience feel what she is feeling; we understand what she is trying to do. She is connecting to the audience. The image has been cropped so that you just see her face; it is a close up shot of her to see her facial expression. The relationship she wants with the audience is a personal relationship, she wants the audience to know that she is in a tragedy and she wants the audience to feel for her, to feel pity towards her.
