Close analysis of a Media Text( Britney Image 2)

Within this image we see Britney Spears an older version of Britney Spears after her career became a success story. The photographer uses a medium long shot to emphasize her attractiveness, it is also done to show that Britney Spears has progressed from that little girl that started revealing little of herself, into a woman who is showing the magazine more, which may also mean she has more to show the world. The obvious denotation we depict from this image is Spears pressed up against the wall looking seductive. The cropping of the frame is done to tease the reader, sort of saying that if they read more or buy the magazine they will get something worthwhile.

The costume that Britney is wearing has dramatically decreased from the previous image, also giving us many subliminal messages. The denotation I make from this image is that Britney Spears is naked apart from her lingerie underwear. We also see that her cleavage is pressed against the wall, to add a sense of sex appeal, she is also pressing her breasts against a sheet of some sort. The connotations we can make from this image is that Britney Spears has evolved from a teenager and is no longer a child, but and adult so she shows the world more of her, in this case her being nude. It seems that she is portraying herself as older physically and mentally. This image will be appealing to males due to the sex appeal and minimal clothing, and for that attention she receives from males; she will also receive attention from females wanting to attain the same attention she receives. When the photographer uses a side shot its almost as she’s saying that Britney is closing the doors on something. The costume suggests that Britney is open to much stuff, and is opening up more than she did from the beginning of her career. The relationship Britney wants’ with the reader is a sexual and seductive one

The setting used seems to be a bedroom. The thing that this indicates to us is that Britney has invited us to her bedroom, which could be a metaphor for her mind, and she wants us to continue following her and her career, so she uses something that seems like a kiss and tell technique.

The lighting used is bright light to highlight the innocence of Britney spears, yet also highlight the importance of Britney spears career.

The colours used within this image are white to highlight maybe how pure Britney has stayed within the industry. And that she may be our generations Eve, showing that her beauty is skin deep and more.
