Colour Connotation

I have chosen this Glamour magazine because it has got a blue background this stimulates that it increases calmness, peace, love, honesty, kindness, truth inner peace, emotional depth and devotion. Also some of the writing is in red and that stimulates that it increases physical energy, vitality, stamina,ground, spontaneity, stabability and passion.

There is a model or celebrity on the front cover as the main image and he/she is looking directly at the camera

Why does the magazine use a model or celebrity on the cover? Why are they looking directly at the camera?

Explain the effect on the target audience.

Magazines use celebrity or a models on to the front cover to show that it is a good magazine and that they have got a good style in fashion and how they look. Also around they celebritys, it shows and tells you ideas about how to get fit and how to get fashionable. Also they person on the front could be an inspiration to viewers to make them want to look like them because the person on the magazine is all ways staring at you.

GCSE MEDIA Controlled Assessment Essay 2012

The two videos that i will be presenting is Jessie J'Do it like a Dude and Robin Thicke'Blurred Lines. Also Blurred Lines shows women in a negative stereotypical way.The men and women are represented in the music video do it like a dude because the women are fighting and smoking cigarettes also in one point in the video they look like they are doing drugs and playing poker. Also in the music video the women are doing very masculine dances showing the men the can do all of these things too.This is the opposite of the stereotype (because men usually smoke cigarettes).

In Jessie J'Do it like a Dude the mise-en-scene shows that at the beginning of the video Jessie J has a close up on her face and she has dark lipstick with spikes on them showing that they are not very inviting. Also the setting in is a room with men and women every where.In Robin Thicke'Blurred Lines,the setting looks like it is in a white room with women dancing around the men.
