2. COSTUME, • Jessie J is wearing a simple knitted jumper with
the words “smile” printed upon the attire. The
HAIR AND choice of clothing is simple and cosy. This reflects
herself in a different perspective, that we
MAKEUP normally don’t see. The golden colour
complements her skin colour emphasising her
features. The smile stitched upon the jumper
shows her youthfulness and softer side to her. As
when we see Jessie J she represents a strong
independent women with a feisty personality but
with this image we are seeing her in a new and
different light.
• Her fair and makeup are very natural and the
image concentrates on Jessie underneath all the
gilts and glamour. Her short hair straight and left
with a small bounce on the bottom again
emphasising her youthfulness within the image.
Her minimal amount of makeup demonstrates
her inherited features. Keeping with her
quirkiness Jessie’s nails are painted with different
colours with a pattern illustrating her input of
keeping her individual taste.
3. • Jessie J body language displays that
BODY LANGUAGE regardless of being a celebrity everyone has
a time in which they feel self conscious and
AND FACIAL this is her time. Using her hand to cover her
mouth in which she is laughing into portrays
EXPRESSION that she loves a laugh and doesn’t mind
acting goofy. Its almost like a natural image
taken while she was in a moment of
laughter.
• Her facial expression is not seen as most of
it is covered with her hand. However we can
see that her eyes are shut almost as if she
was in her own world. We can tell that she
is smiling that illustrates that her clothing
attire may signifies her mood of the day.
The smile is natural showing the audience
taking a step back from her busy schedule
to have a laugh is a good thing to do and is
recommended. The whole expression and
body language just appears to be based on
her natural actions.
4. • The image has a plan white
background which initially
SETTING’S demonstrates the image being
taken is not all about being
AND PROPS somewhere or dressing to an
occasion but just her. This
connotes how real Jessie J is and
that she’s not like other artists,
she shows a side that people
haven't seen or experienced. The
background is simple maybe
suggesting that she maybe taking
a photo shoot.
• There are no evidence of props
within this image taken showing
the audience a naturalistic side
with less busy props and more on
her as a artist and as a person.
5. • There is bright lighting used to
LIGHTING emphasise the joyous occasion in
which she is taking part. This
AND brightens the image as a whole
and brings out her features and
attire really focusing on her as an
COLOUR music artist.
• There is not much colours used
within the image as the most
dominating colour is the golden
colour of the jumper and that's
due to it being the initial thought.
The only other colour is the black
used to stitch on the smile again
this stands out from the jumper
causing attention to read the
wording.
6. • Her positioning shows her in a
venerable state as she cannot
POSTIONING hide with the camera focusing
on her. The fact that no posing
AND THE or posture has been identified
OBJECT shows the audience that its
showing natural is always the
FRAME best in capturing a persons
personality.
• The key focus is only on Jessie J
with no other distractions and
with her being centred. The
attention is all on her, which is
what is wanted.
