alike values and interests.

4. Mise En Scene: Props
• The picture in my magazine and the Select magazine are similar as
they both feature a union jack flag however, in my magazine the
model has the flag draped over them and in Select it is behind him.
• The union jack suggests patriotisms which both images posses
however, the flag is behind Anderson in select which highlights his
importance whereas my model looks more proud, with connotations
of a victorious athlete in the Olympics.
• In both images the flag is obscured which suggests that there is
confidence that people will know what it is, this furthers the
patriotism as it suggests that everyone will recognise the flag as its so
well known and important.
• It also highlights the target audience of British citizens and creates a
sense of community through common knowledge and pride.

5. Mise en Scene:
Clothing, colours and stance
• Both people are presented very differently.
• In my magazine, the model is wearing smart clothes; his body
language suggests that he is non-threatening and thoughtful as his
head is tilted to one side.
• Whereas in select, Anderson is wearing dark clothes and a leather
jacket, he is also showing his stomach which suggests he is confident
and rebellious. His pose shows confidence and is perhaps an odd
posture for a man as it’s quite feminine and sexualised. The shot has
been taken from a low angle and he’s looking down which makes
him seem powerful and threatening
• Neither people are really smiling which suggests they are serious.
• Both of the characters have dark hair, however my model’s is lighter
and his skin tone is darker whereas Select features cool colours with
black hair and pale skin.
