Music Magazine Double Spread Page-Textual Analysis

Props

There is two props in this picture the first is the bed that Jamelia is sitting on the bed i think connotes comfort and maybe a little seductive because today the bed connotes sex solely because there is an attractive person in the picture also. In the next picture on the left you see her wearing a hat which seems quite casual.

Lighting

Lighting is very well done in this picture and very unique because the picture on the right page you have high-key lighting on one half of the page but the other half the lighting is low-key because a lot of the writing is on this side so this makes it easier to read although you can still see the picture through this bit of the page. Also on the other side of the page the whole page is low-key I am presuming because there is much more writing on the page but where Jamelia's name is high-key lighting you can see the true colours of the picture.

Costume

What she is wearing on the right you cant really see but it looks that it just a very short dress creamy white a little cut a the front but you don't really see any of the chest but because she is wearing a short dress type clothing this could be very seductive because she is very attractive and is wearing a short dress and sitting on a bed. The picture on the left she is wearing a bikini and a very low cut top which is again quite attractive and seductive because you can see her cleavage. Also a hat so it seems that she would be at a casual event or setting.With the make-up and her eyebrows done up shows that these things are done to attract the opposite sex.

NVC

The picture on the right her facial expression show she is relaxed and happy also there seems to be a slight hint of mischievousness. In the picture on the left she looks just relaxed and happy with a big smile which is directed at the people looking at the magazine.

Setting

In the first picture it quite clear that she is in bedroom and it looks comfortable and the background seems to be quite luxurious so it shows that she is rich in the next picture from her costume which is a bikini it connotes swimming pool or beach but in this case I think its the beach because her surroundings seem natural because it looks like she standing next a tree. It is a bit hard to tell because the background is blurred out so it probably means that the background isn't that important because it is blurred out to nearly beyond recognition.
