magazine 3



Costume:
As you can see Jennifer is dressed in a completely different way in which she was on the fhm magazine. Jennifer is wearing a dress which a few bright colours which immediately catches the readers eye, whilst intriguing them if they are interested in fashion.


Facial expression:
Unlike the other magazines, Jennifer has a normal facial expression. Although she is still looking directly at the reader, creating a direct mode of address


Body language:
In this image Jennifer looks much more relaxed simply because of the change of outfit and where her hands are placed.

Like FHM, the backdrop of the image matches the outfit. But the colour of the backdrop isn’t just any random colour, its red which can symbolise many things such as love.

magazine 2



Costume:
As you can see, Jennifer is wearing very little. Just a bikini/lingerie. The purpose of this is to attract the male audience.



Facial expression:
Her facial expression is quite serious. Some male’s might find this attractive. Also, Jennifer is looking straight at us, like the other magazine she it creates a direct mode of address towards the reader.



Body Language:
Jennifer is on her knees with her hand on her hip. This is inviting towards the male audience. Also it creates a sense of authority, letting the reader know that she is in charge.



Framing and camera shot:
The image of Jennifer is a long shot. This is used to let the reader see her whole body which is much more attracting than part of her body. As well as this, the image of Jennifer overlaps the title indicating how important she is.



Setting colour and lighting:
The setting (sandy), links to she is wearing. Also the background of the image is blue which matches the colour of her bikini. The lighting also reminds the reader of a typical beach scene. The soft light from the sun beaming on her body.
