Analysis on magazines(Dazed)


They tend to cover topics on music, fashion, art and culture. They take on more artistic and aesthetic approaches to fashion featuring high end designers . In majority of their magazines featuring females,  models do not wear make up to enhance or glorify their feminine features, but instead strengthen those features to make them more masculine or keep it neutral to embrace their natural beauty. This breaks the conventions of stereotypes on gender where females can be presented as masculine allowing audiences to be more open minded and appreciate the artist values of the magazine.

This would also break the conventions of traditional waltz dancing of a man and woman as partners. It would empathize the personal conflict that Juliet has with her self.    * There will be shots/ scenes involving Juliet going through maniac and depressive episodes in order to represent  the visible struggles of bipolar disorder. For example; not being able to get out of bed, staring at the mirror, dancing around in bliss, books and sheets scattered around with writing intensively. * A circling camera shot rotating around actor to draw attention to the artist. Also a zoom in/or out shot of Juliet which can portray how the audience is drawing into her ...
