Evolution of Britney Spears

Evolution of Britney Spears

  In the first picture Britney Spears is photographed at a bird’s eye view however it has been zoomed in to focus the attention just on her. This is a completely different and somewhat unnatural point of view because it is rarely the way audiences themselves see the world. Therefore this indicates to us that Britney also is rear and unusual however she does look venerable.

This picture is ambiguous because on one hand we have Britney lying in smooth silk wearing sexy launderette and talking on the phone. The way she provokingly gazes at the audience suggests to us that she is flirty and gossipy. All this is reflecting just one side of her personality, the adult side. However the prop and the costume are in contrast of each other. The prop she is hugging is a teletubby. This significantly is portraying her venerable, innocent and childish personality. However this also indicates to us that in the photograph Spears is a girl on the verge of becoming a woman. This is a stereotypical representation of teenage girls.

The chosen colours are soft and warm, providing the picture with a sexy and cosy atmosphere. However the soft and warm colours connote Britney’s warm and soft personality. Mean while the bright light falls straight on her connoting her innocence.

 Mean while picture umber two is taken in a mid-shot this is used to Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.

Britney’s costume and pose on the second cover is more revealing than the first one. She is only wearing sexy knickers and has a night sheet slightly covering her breasts. This indicates to the audience that now she has fully reached her adulthood and portraying her sexuality. The way Miss. Spears is gazing at the audience suggests that she wants a calm but playful relationship between her and the audience.

The setting is between two white mattresses which indicate that she might have just gotten out of bet connoting that she is naturally a beautiful and a happy person. In addition to that the choice of colour only white so it could contrast with her warm tanned skin colour. As well as the lightening is there to highlight even more the soft texture of her skin. Meanwhile the white represent the innocence and purity of her personality.

 Third magazine cover photograph is taken at a close up, to reveal detail, such as emotions and eye contact. Britney Spears looks blameless. Meanwhile this image and the way it’s cropped have been chosen so that the audience could get to know the real Britney. That’s why there is no setting behind her. The image has been cropped so closely to say ‘it’s just me and nothing else’.

Meanwhile her facial expression is very calm and natural. Britney’s gaze at the audience is very personal and childlike. You can tell she wants a strong bonding relationship with her audience.
The light highlighting her facial features and her smooth skin tone represents her pure innocence. However this is not supported by the anchorage text. They are completely in contrast of each other because everything about her in the picture wants you to like her, although the anchorage text states that she is ‘America’s tragedy’.

 On the other hand in this magazine out of all three of them she’s not revealing her body with her nudity or her characteristics with toys and other props; she’s just saying ‘get to know the real me for who I am’. This indicates her maturity.

In addition to that Black and white is usually very serious and formal colours. Therefore the colour choice of the picture is also portraying Britney’s developed level of maturity.
