This Photograph has been cropped to a high angled shot, in this instance it shows Britney laying down and this is used to show her to be more vulnerable. Also she is using a direct mode of address; this is used to give the reader the feeling that they have more intimacy with Britney.
Britney’s costume is a very revealing piece, which contains only very short shorts and a bra there is also a jacket, but she has removed this from her body as to reveal more of her stomach, this is suggesting that she is available in some way and it has also been used to appeal to a wider male audience.
The Phone and the Telet ubbie can be seen as there to signify the youthfulness that Britney contains, as she was still only in her teens when this picture had been taken, the doll in her right hand could also be seen as her trying to hold on to the years of her youth that she missed out on due to her music career.
The setting seems to be of a bed or bedroom; this is so that the reader can feel as if they are interacting with the model.
What are the connotations of this?There is one intertextual reference in this image, this is the teletubbie doll which Britney is holding, it can be seen that through this she is attempting to keep hold of her childhood or because she had been under the spotlight from a young age, it can be seen that she is trying to live the childhood she never had.
The colour pink is the main colour used in this picture, this is to show Britney in a more feminine light, also purple has been used for the main background colour, this is a colour which often represents royalty and at the time that this picture was taken.
The shot is a mid long shot, it has been used to show the models body language or in this case to show off the models body.
Direct mode of address, she wants the reader to feel as if there is chemistry between them so that she will get more readers.
The setting is of a doorway, the model has been positioned between the door frame, this gives us the impression that she is somewhat trapped or held back.
High key lighting has been used in this shot, this is to create a more neutral feeling towards the image
Mainly white is used in the background of this image, but as the model is more tanned she stands out very boldly.
The image has been chosen, as the close up reveals the saddened facial expression of the person, to further emphasize the point of ‘Tragedy’ in this picture the image has been edited to be of a black and white colour range, this effect it can be seen is used to drain the life from the picture and therefore promoting a feeling of ‘tragedy’.
The image has been cropped into an extreme close up of Britney’s face, this is so that there are no distractions from her face and the full focus of the reader is on her face.
It is apparent that Britney would like the audience to feel sympathetic towards her, this conclusion comes from the direct mode of address that she used and by the upsetting expression on her face.
