Reading an image-media codes blog task

 technical

In the RBK 50 cent poster the lighting is very dark and monocrome.The facial expression is quite stern which adds intensity to the advert and creates a meaning which can influence customers to buy products off this advert.It looks like an staged shot which shows that there is an direct adress.The dark lighting also highlights his eyebrows which are hidden and that could create an sense of mystery to the product that could be sold involving the advert.

written or verbal

There is an anchorage text and that could symbolise of 50 cents ideologies and that can influence people to buy off their store which is rebook.Additonally in the text there are o's filled in which could symbolise the amount of gun shot wounds that he could have suffered.The title/slogan could be the reflection of is past identity and how this could influence the product to do being limited edition.Furthermore it is also unclear on what is being advertised

symbolic

The jewllery that 50 cent is wearing could be the product of success as he went from the rags of the riches and that also reinforces capitalist ideologies and through the colour scheme we can see the dull and bleck histroy and from the slogan we can see that it exudes confidence and the logo also associates with celebrity culture and shows that there is an fashion brand

narrative

there are also alot of enigma codes that we can see from the slogan and we are also unaware of the back story and from the action codes that we can see from the advert is that there is alot of police involvemnt that hold 50 cents identity

techncical

The dark lighting with the smoke tells us that smoke is an bad influence on all of us and the colur black usually asscoaites with something that is dangerous or has a high level of threat and from the camera work,we can see that smoke gives the impression that it is portrayed as being something bad due to the black cover behind it

written or verbal codes

The on world no tobacco day demonstrates that smoking is heavily restricted and from and the writing in the photo shows us that that they are a family and they want  everyone to stand with them on no tobacco day and the writing in the background helps the audience to understand that smoking is heavily restricted

non verbal codes

The typography has a black font which demonstrates the low key lighting that demonstrates the smoking to be restricted and this is a serious problem for the community and there is also a symbol which shows the banned symbol and this demonstrates how smoking is percived as being very dangerous

narrative codes

There is quite a lot enigma codes such as the smoke and we dont quite about what it represents and also some people may percieve the banned symbol to be something else

Genre:Blog tasks

1) What example is provided of why visual iconographies are so important? Genres are categories or types of media text. Genres are recognisable through the repeated use of generic codes and conventions. e.g. the mise-en-scene of deep space, usually indicates the genre of sci fi 2) What examples are provided of the importance of narrative in identifying genre? Visual and aural iconographies are not the only way that genres can be identified. Genre can also be indicated in the way the story is told via its narrative (the structure of the story telling) and plot (the events and occurrences within the story). Good examples of this are Independence Day (1996: dir. R. Emmerich), Deep Impact (1998: M. Leder) and, more recently, The Day After Tomorrow (2004: dir. R. Emmerich). In The Day After Tomorrow a father has two goals: to persuade the government to act on his advice and then to rescue his son. 3) What are the different ways films can be categorised according to Bordwell?  • Period o...

Migrain:Structuralism

  1) What is the definition of structuralism provided by the Factsheet?  Structuralism is a theoretical perspective that emphasises the existence of universal structures underlying the surface differences and assumed randomness of various cultures, stories and media texts. For example, this theory suggests that there are ‘structures’ inherent in narratives so patterns can be observed even across texts that appear to be unconnected. 2) What are binary oppositions and why are they important? Levi-Strauss argued that the way in which ideas are represented in thought and language often takes the form of binary oppositions, which is evident in the above kinship relations as husband / wife, parent / child. Levi-Strauss saw language as an important aspect of culture because it allows people to categorise and represent objects and ideas with symbols. The way that ideas are represented in human thought and language usually takes the form of binary opposites such as life / death or ligh...

Narrative:blog tasks

  1) Give an example from film or television that uses Todorov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium and new equilibrium.  One example that uses Todorov narrative structure is Wallace and Gromit in the curse of the Were-Rabbit 2) Complete the activity on page 1 of the Factsheet: find a  clip  on YouTube of the opening of a new TV drama series (season 1, episode 1). Embed the clip in your blog and write an analysis of the narrative markers that help establish setting, character and plot. The opening  establishes setting, character, and plot. The visuals of prison bars, corridors, and guards ground the viewer in the confined world of Fox River State Penitentiary, while the cold colours and strict routines convey a sense of control and danger. We are introduced to Michael Scofield, whose calm, calculated nature contrasts with his brother Lincoln Burrows’ vulnerable situation on death row, immediately creating empathy and tension. The central plot who...
