Evaluation of students work number 2

A mise-en-scene is the background; the background is a plain cream colour that doesn’t take away from the person and even points attention towards the person. This works really well as it makes the person the centre of attention and that is what music magazines are mainly focusing on. Also the colour works well with the colours of her clothes and her skin, as it makes those features stand out more and not blend into the background. This is also good, as it would mean that people wouldn’t look through the text to look at the background and can focus more on other features. As the background is just a simple colour it doesn’t have to do anything special, by this I mean it doesn’t have to mean anything to the person on the cover and it also doesn’t have to mean anything to the audience as it would mean that they can work more on the person themselves.

The person in the mise-en-scene stands out more and lets the audience know that she is the centre of attention of this magazine. This is good in the way that it allows to not be distracted by anything else and they would also be able to focus on the point at hand which would be the model herself or the text. Talking about the model, her costume is a blue jean jacket and a white top as well as a bandana. These clothing options allow her to stand out from the background and also have her not blend with the background at all. Also as her skin colour is a bit darker then the background it helps focus on her and helps her to stand out more with it. This was most likely done to show of her skin and show of her style. However there is also a down side to this as it might also be to dull for some people who are looking for a more exciting magazine, as the image itself isn’t really that interesting and only shows of her beauty and style.
