1.This is Idina Menzel more popular for her know role in Disney's Frozen has also stared in the stage production 'Wicked',here is a picture of her within the stage production that i'm going to deconstruct.First of all let's talk about just Idina.She is within a stage production and in a character therefore she is dress as the character she is portraying which in this case is the wicked witch of the west.she is wearing dark and pale colours however the purple could symbolise alot more.purple is the colour to symbolise royality and expense which could maybe reflect
The life the witch once had before turning wicked. However
the colour is merged with the green involved in the entwining patterns with the
garment, which could suggest the emotions that she has been through which
eventually resulted in the witch becoming evil. The green is to symbolise
natural however this is a very dark shade of green suggesting that she has now
become unnatural and the characters change throughout has not wise. The fact
that only her face is uncovered also gives the impressions the character has self-esteem
issues and that she feels that closed inside meaning she doesn't trust anyone
around her gives herself to herself. She has think black gloves on her hand
meaning that she is trying to conceal herself and is not going to let anyone
show her true colours. Her face is pure green as at this point in the play the
character Idina is portraying has turned evil, which is why the green skin is
there to symbolise the unnatural horror that has become like for example The hulk.
As side from that Idina has no more make up on her face. Make-up is commonly
used to make people boost their confidence within their appearance therefore
make-up is there to make you more pretty in someone theory. Now this witch has
no make-up on her face aside from the green face paint, which could infer that
the witch isn't beautiful and make-up can make someone standout, now there is
no make-up that normal people would wear therefore suggesting she isn't abit of
the crowd which could maybe suggest she is lonely. Now the hair traditionally
women wear the hair down to make them look more attractive, however the witch
Idina is portraying has her black hair symbolising a gothic route to all this
has her hair tied back behind her head. Finally on her appearance the all
famous witches hat it's plain black therefore mysterious, dark and sinister.
Plain is always a thinker for example if you watch the program 'Sherlock’,
Sherlock can deduce everything about a person just by what they are doing but
when Irene Adler walk in, in the nude Sherlock cannot tell a thing about her
because she is plain at that point in the program she was a mystery.
The back-ground surrounding the witch is misty.I have just looked up misty and I came up that if someone has a misty eye they are full of tears so as to blur the vision.So maybe the back-ground can symbloise the witches eyes as the rest of the background is just plain black of witch that I explained in the description of the witches hat plain+dark and sinister.she is standing quite close to the camera suggesting she is trying to get her point across so much.

This
Photograph is lively and out-going and obviously this girl Katharine
is having fun.
Let’s start by just looking at the actress herself preforming
on stage. First of all her clothes they are light and cheerful. White is a
colour that symbolises purity and has a calming feel to it, which is why stereotypically
people portray god is pristine white gowns, also white doves is a symbol of
love however the symbol itself is to do with the dove the white is to adds more
of an explaining to the object it-self.to me it looks like she has cherry's on
her top, now this could be taken in two ways one fruity or to a unfortunate
sexual route that has appeared in this generation. Someone said that sex is
everywhere and believe or not it is and weirdly is used as a selling point of
which it does work. She is also thrusting her chest out and holding her arms out suggesting to me
anyway a sort of princess feel to her pose particularly snow white when she’s signing.
These little sexual tweaks are maybe put in place so that all eyes are on here regardless,
a sneaky way to get there audiences sub-continues attension.Now her hair you
can see that it's curled and that is traditionally or more modern thought of as
a way to curl in men in the 1950's primarily, she also has the same kind of
style that were popular back then. However she is not wearing that much make-up
or there is none that I can see in this photograph.to me although she is trying
to look that a lady of the night has kind of failure that ambition and is now a
house wife. With the crème behind the pattern on the top it just reminds me of End
from Hairspray.
The background surrounding this actress katherine is very dark and is a good way to build the tension, however the light beams behind her could maybe represent the passion within her voice meaning that the back-ground now has an up-beat feel towards it and the lights help highlight her proformance.
