First lesson Miss Mapp

Had my first A2 media lesson today. We are learning about artists and texts.
Artists can be shown through a text. This includes the way the are represented through their appearance, on adverts, general appearances, music videos and album/single covers.

Artists seem to build up this "image" that makes them unique. We then associate their genre of music with their appearance. This can also be shown through person and stage image, languge of the songs and the actual sound of the songs.

For example Beyonce...

Here we can see her actions linking to the name of her single.
This can be shown through the attention drawn to her crusifix
bracelet. This makes her seem innocent and angelic. The colour
sceme also reflects this as it uses all montone colours including
greys and whites. This again reflects back to heaven and even
possibly being religious.
The Writing is however black and bold to contrast all of the other colours.
However there is still an element of sex appeal byu the pose she is striking.
She isnt smiling but more, glaring/pouting at the camera. This contrasts the image
she has already previously portrayed. By having her hands on her forhead in this way
works with the look she is giving sending out a seductive message.
