This document analyzes three different album advertisements. The Green Day advertisement conveys rebellion through its dark tones and spray-painted font. The Jay-Z advertisement contrasts black and white to emphasize the album logo and portray different generations of music. The Jessie J advertisement portrays her in a gothic, edgy style through her dark clothing and makeup against a white background.

Analysis: In this advertisement, Green Day are
conveying a sense of rebellion and youth.
Mise-en-scene: This advertisement uses dark toned
colors within its background so that when lighter colors
are used for the writing it is much clearer. The low toned
colors that the background utilizes creates an eerie and
edgy atmosphere and highlights the defiant behavior is
may show.
Design: The writing exploits a font that looks as if spray
painted on again symbolizing this rebellious behavior
given of by the album. It is also very rough and is
complimented by the brick background. I feel as if Green
Day are trying to harden their image through doing this
with the font in this way.
Design: The picture of the to seemingly young couple
kissing may be used in order to again focus on this
rebellious nature that teenagers or youth stereotypically
hold within society.

Analysis: In this advertisement, Jay-Z uses his highly known
image to portray his album through a image of a series of
generations of music tools not a portrait of himself and uses a
contrasting color to emphasis the logo to the album.
Mise-en-scene: The lighting of this advertisement is very high
key as a large proportion of it is white making the writing (in
black) stand out and be seen much clearer. He may have used
this small proportion of black to white ratio to symbolize society
at the time he may have been writing the songs in the album as
America was stereotypically a very racist union.
Design: The image in the center of the advertisements is a group
of music recording and playing devises that seem to vary from
generations as the image portrays some new technology and
instruments.
Design: The bold 3 red lines are very significant within this
design as I feel that the contrast with the colors highlights the
instruments and how they may be over looked within the pop
industry.

Analysis: This album portrays Jessie J in a very gothic and edgy
aspect as her use of black within her clothing creates this
atmosphere and tone to her music.
Mise-en-scene: The constant use of black and dark colors within
her make up and clothing create a very bold and intrepid
advertisement that would seem to stand out to an audience. The
white background also allows this also to be much more
highlighted.
Design: The gold text used to accompany the dark colors within
the advertisements background and landscape allows the writing
to be much more clearer towards an audience. The gold and
glitter also dims down this representation of gothic manner as it
is seen as very glamourous.
Camera Work: The portrait of Jessie J shows her with her mouth
open and hands resting against the side of her head. It almost
seems as if she may be shouting yet the stillness of the image
presents it as a pose. This could show inner anger within the
singer that may be highlighted within her songs.
