Three Album Adverts

When analysing this music poster the audience can see that the mise-en-scene reflects the stereo typical view on Pop music. What I mean by this is that pop music is associated as being up-beat and happy and uses bright colours as well as high key lighting and also very expressive with its lyrics. The bright pink used in the title represents to the audience the mischievous attitude of Katy Perry. This also shows how pop can be pursued in this genre. The use of prop in this advert portrays an innocent impression to it such as the paddling pool, rubber duck and the lolly pop.  With the use of these props she is attracting her who is young civilians. These props and her clothing portray a young girl wanting to have fun. The clothing worn by Katy Perry is quite revealing but it does not make her look inappropriate. She has shown the mischievous attitude through the clothing which associates  itself with the title of the song “I Kissed A Girl.” The facial expression makes the audience feel that she is unapproachable and is hiding something from us. The other body language that contributes to this is the hand hidden behind the back.

The second advert that I am going to analyse is the Britney Spears Poster for her album called the “Circus”. The mise- en- scene of this poster is set inside a circus tent; this contributes to the title of the album. The font and title colouring used in this poster represents different things to the audience such as the bright colours used could portray the liveliness and the fun of the circus. The colours could also represent to the audience the dangerous and flirtatious attitude that Britney Spears brings to her music. The outfit that she is wearing links in with the theme of her cover and has a few stereo typical characteristics of this the performers in the outfit such as the stripes from the mime artists and the top hat which is normally seen on a ring master. The facial expression on her face makes the audience feel that she is an approachable person and the body jester that she is positioned in makes us feel that she is welcoming us into her circus.

The third advert I am going to analyse is one for the singer Kesha. This advert is selling a remix song which includes her as one of the artists. The mise-en-scene background which the artist is standing in front of is a plain white brick wall. This colour matches the same colour in her top. On her top it had a skeleton rib cage print.  It makes her leather jacket stand out in the picture to the audience along with the biker gloves. The outfit give off a rebellious appearance like she does not care how she looks or what people think of her. The rebellion is shown in the poster is with the torn edge between the black right hand side of the poster with the information on and the picture of her. As well as the torn edge, on top of the image the audience can see stitches. High key lighting is used to make the artist stand out in the poster. There is red text used on the other side to inform the audience about this remix song. The red could represent her dangerous personality. The white font which her name is in is the same texture and colour as the background which the artist is standing in front of. The facial expression that she has in this poster does not make her look friendly and approachable.
