The only character we see on this digipak is e singer, Melanie
Martinez, who appears very child-like which you could associate
with innocence.
Her body language suggests she is sad- reflective of album title
Narrative events–how

ordered and

Narrative enigma
Seems like the singer is a child in a woman’s body due to the toys
and portraits of little girls
Iconography – props,

The singer’s hair- unique and iconic of her
Pink- stereotypical girl colour
Balloons- symbolic of children and parties/celebrating, however this
idea of happiness and celebrating is challenged by the gloomy title
of the album.
Setting- mise enscene The props within the mise en scene are all childish, such as the
balloons and toys scattered on the floor. This links in with the title of
the album and all of the on it.
Letter blocks on the CD- baby toys that link with the title
