MISE- EN-SCENE ANALYSIS

In this image of pop artist Pixie Lott, the pure cream coloured background suggests her youth and innocence, which goes with her genre of music. Her bold flower headpiece stands out and immediately reflects her femininity and fun personality. Her hair is very light blonde and curled at the ends. The slight curly effect added makes her look younger as it is quite a girly style to wear. The blouse she is wearing appears to be a shade of yellow which adds to the young girl look which Pixie is trying to achieve.

Her makeup is kept very natural and flawless looking, allowing her freckles to shine through, but has a bold eye look of smoky black liner which suggests that though her music is sweet and feminine, it also has some bolder, more meaningful undertones to it. Her facial expression is showing her almost intrigued and happy which reflects her captivating style. Her hand is held poised loosely near her face which makes her body language appear to be charmed and attracted to something she sees. This shows how she is inspired by things around her.

The lighting used is ambient and is being used to create less of a contrast between the colours on her clothes and hair etc. She has been centred in the frame which makes her the centre of attention, and the audience's attention is not being taken away by the background as it is plain and simple.

In this image, Katy Perry stares dreamily and wistfully into the distance in a way that suggests she has a care free attitude. In the same way, her posture is draped across the chair giving her a sense of vulnerability. Her black stilettoes show a bit of her wild rebellious side and indicate that she is not afraid to stand out. The cut-outs along the side of her dress suggest that Katy has added her own wild touch to a plain dress. Her long flowing vibrant purple hair styled in a loose wave indicates her fierceness and classic femininity, while the simple décor of the room and backlight gives a

slightly nostalgic look to the image. The backlighting also defines the outline of her figure to draw attention to her figure further (as it is already taking up most of the frame) so this shows that she is very confident in her own skin.

In this image of Iggy Azalea, the background suggests her status as a bold, daring pop artist. The black glittery crop top goes with the background and gives her a sexy yet fun look, whereas the bottoms show her more relaxed and down to earth side as they aren’t as extravagant and her upper half. This reflects her unique contemporary style. Her bold gold necklace stands out and goes with her trademark modern stylish look. Her long flowing her shows her femininity, yet the tattoo on her wrist shows that she can also be rebellious. Her makeup is kept natural with defined cheekbones to show off her natural beauty and youth.

Her body language is relaxed and calm which presents her as a naturally confident person. Her facial expression is quite inviting, as though trying to lure someone in which shows her to be quite a glamorous and interesting person. The lighting is very bright to show off all the reflectiveness of the glitter and jewellery in the frame, and also helps to illuminate her skin more to give it a healthy glow. Her position in the frame is slightly to one side, almost leaning against the background which demonstrates her calm character and how she is care-free.
