1. Media Studies - Picture Analysis
Beyonce Knowles
The use of black and white in this
image is important as it draws our
eyes to Beyonce straight away. Her
body positioning is strange which
could suggest she is a unique artist
also her shoes are very high which
could suggest she has a very high
profile and is successful in what she
does. She is making direct eye contact
with the camera, this makes it feel as
though she is looking directly at us
and selling herself as an artist.
Take That
The picture is in black and white
which draws our eyes to the people
within the shot. The smiling faces
could suggest they are a well known
and successful group and they are all
good friends as they are having a
laugh together. It also suggests that
their music is an upbeat and
enjoyable as they seem to be enjoying
themselves rather than having a
serious look. The bright light in the
top left corner of the frame could
suggest they are aiming for success
and are following the right path.
Mumford & Sons
The band members are dressed very
smartly in waistcoats and shirts which
suggest they are a successful band.
The old instruments suggest the genre
of music or type of music which they
play such as Irish folk rock band. The
old fashioned type of frame could
suggest there characters as enjoying
the older type of music and re-
creating that image in the modern
world.

2. Taylor Swift
The wallpaper used in the background
makes her come across as innocent,
vulnerable and young as an artist
because it comes across as a childlike
feature. The use of the guitar gives
away the genre of music which she
does which is country as it’s a typical
instrument for that genre of music.
She seems to be looking in the
distance, it looks as though she is
daydreaming or looking/searching for
something.
Eminem
Dark background helps to draw the
viewer straight onto him without any
other distractions, which could
suggest he’s very successful as his
doesn’t need anything to improve or
help his image. The camera looks as
though it’s looking up to him which
makes him look dominant which could
also link to his success in the music
industry. It looks as if he’s making
direct eye contact with us, which
could mean he’s trying to
communicate with us through the
image and his music.

The clearness of her eyes draws us in
and suggests her innocence as an
artist. Direct eye contact with the
camera suggests she is trying to
communicate with us.

3. Little Mix
Smiles on their faces show they have
recent success and are happy
together. Body stance also suggests a
look of success as they come across as
powerful and strong. The girls are
colour co-ordinated with their outfits
which suggest they are up to date
with fashion and their outfits also
suggest what their target audience is
which is a young age group such as
teenagers who are into the new music
and styles.
Jessie J
The use of black and white helps us to
solely concentrate on Jessie rather
than what’s going on around her.
Mickey Mouse head piece gives off a
childlike appearance and also a look
of innocence; it could also suggest her
target audience as being young
children, teenagers and young adult’s
happy expression suggesting she is a
fun and bubbly character. High key
lighting also suggests her happy
demeanour and could emphasise
success as an artist.
The Saturdays
Plain background so there is nothing
else to concentrate other than the
women within the frame. Revealing
outfits, this may be to attract the
male audiences. Making direct eye
contact with the camera, it’s as
though there communicating with
their audience. Contrast between light
and dark which could suggest they are
all unique. The black dresses could
suggest they have something to hide.

them appear dominant and powerful.
High key lighting is used this could
suggest the type of music in which
they perform, which is rap and
singing, it could also show their target
audience as being young. The caps
show a look of innocent and youth.
Clear sky could suggest they are new
to the music industry and are just
getting the hang of things.
