The image is a close up photograph of Britney, this has been used to show the audience her facial expression and feelings. The use of black and white is significant because it is showing a dull, sad and depressed mood. The image isn’t showing any of Britney’s body which means it is not a sexual image or that it is promoting any male attention. The fact that Britney is wearing no makeup makes the audience realise that it is a serious story and that she is not her normal self, the black and white shows that something has been drained from her or that she is at a dark time in her life.
The anchorage text says ‘Britney Spears : inside and American tragedy’ the dullness and sad mood of the image is linked with the story behind it, the colours have been used to show that she is going through a bad time. The word ‘tragedy’ is in capitals and automatically stand out when you look at the image of Britney. Britney wants the audience to know that she has been through a tough time or that something bad has happened because she is not her usual self, it is not a typically photo of Britney.
The image has been cropped so that we can only see Britney’s face, this is to show the audience her facial expressions and feelings, instead of us looking at her body or clothes or hair.
