This document provides three analyses of mise-en-scene in promotional images of pop artists Pixie Lott, Katy Perry, and Iggy Azalea. Each analysis describes elements of the background, costumes, lighting, poses, and expressions that reflect the artists' styles and personas. Key details like feathered headpieces, smoky eye makeup, flowing hair, cut-out dresses, tattoos, and body language are used to convey a sense of femininity, sexuality, confidence, and rebelliousness in ways that fit each artist's brand.

1. MISE- EN-SCENE ANALYSIS

2. In this image of pop artist Pixie Lott, the pure cream coloured
background suggests her youth and innocence, which goes with
her genre of music. Her bold feathered headpiece stands out
and immediately reflects her femininity and fun personality, and
also gives the looks a more flirtatious and fun feel. Her hair is
very light blonde and curled at the ends. This tousled style
shown falling over her face creates a more naturally attractive
and sexy look, especially as she holds her hand up to her hair
and has her lips slightly parted.
The blouse she is wearing appears to be a shade of yellow
which adds to the young girl look which Pixie is trying to
achieve. Her makeup is kept very natural and flawless
looking, allowing her freckles to shine through, but has a
bold eye look of smoky black liner which suggests that
though her music is sweet and feminine, it also has some
sexy mature undertones. Her facial expression is showing
her almost intrigued and happy which reflects her
captivating style. Her hand is held poised loosely near her
face which makes her body language appear to be
charmed and attracted to something she sees. This shows
how she is inspired by things around her.
The lighting used is artificial and is being used to illuminate
her flawless skin and pastel toned costume. She has been
centred in the frame which makes her the centre of
attention, and the audience's attention is not being taken
away by the background as it is plain and simple.

3. In this image, Katy Perry stares dreamily and wistfully into the
distance in a way that suggests she has a care free attitude. In the
same way, her posture is draped across the chair giving her a sense
of vulnerability and a seductive feel. Her black stilettoes show a bit
of her wild rebellious side and indicate that she is not afraid to be
bold or rebellious. The cut-outs along the side of her dress suggest
that Katy has added her own wild touch to a plain dress, and
supports the idea of the image being sexy. Her dress colour is a
deep purple which could symbolise passion, and it matches her hair
colour which demonstrates how daring she is.
Her long flowing vibrant purple hair styled in a loose
wave indicates her fierceness and classic femininity,
while the simple décor of the room and the lighting
coming from the top and sides draws more attention to
the curves of her body. The lighting also illuminates the
outline of her figure to draw to draw further attention to
it (as it is already taking up most of the frame) so this
shows that she is very confident in her own skin. Her arm
being held to her head emphasis her vulnerability and
seductiveness.

4. In this image of Iggy Azalea, the background suggests her status
as a bold, daring hip-hop/pop artist. The black glittery crop top
goes with the background and gives her a sexy yet fun and
creative look, and shows her status as a bold, daring pop artist,
whereas the bottoms show her more relaxed and down to earth
side as they aren’t as extravagant and her upper half, though
her red nails show she can still be feisty. This reflects her unique
contemporary style. Her bold gold necklace stands out and goes
with her trademark modern stylish look. Her long flowing her
shows her femininity, yet the tattoo on her wrist shows that she
can also be rebellious.
Her tattoo is of a roman goddess Venus who symbolises
love, and this represents love, sex, beauty and fertility
which goes with her feisty attitude and star image. Her
body language is relaxed and calm by the way her
hands are in her pockets and she is not standing up
straight which presents her as a naturally confident
person. Her facial expression is quite inviting, as though
trying to lure someone in which shows her to be quite an
interesting person. The lighting is very bright to show off
all the reflectiveness of the glitter and jewellery in the
frame, and also helps to illuminate her skin more to give
it a healthy glow. Her position in the frame is slightly to
one side, almost leaning against the background which
demonstrates her calm character and how she is care-
free.
