COMPONENT 2

Media language

Roland Barthes - Codes and Agreements

Magazines appeal to people because it is a physical thing that can not be caught

NME

Font Size, Type, Color & Connection - No serif font, especially the main colours, creative displays and promotions

Photos, type of shooting, angle-cut images of most artists that focus on them.

The in-scene - the front page is a red record of dark black audio like vinyl record. Yellow is a fun idea that can reflect the music scene.

Language and lexis - Simple language, uses a good language to cry out in the classroom

Anchorage of text and pictures -

Type of style / style / media product category.

Types that allow producers to understand the audience and allow the audience to choose.

Codes and meetings:

Symbol - Wavy type can be used to suggest female curves according to public information.
Proairetic - An earlier quote made the audience want to find out why Alfred Hitchcock has this idea.
Hermeneutic - A woman's picture of smiling makes the audience wonder why the woman is happy and motivates them to continue learning to solve the mystery.

Planning & Design - A clear layout with non-texting that can be used to urge women in the time the magazine has been made because they seem to be more sensible.

Mise-en-Scene - Natural lighting has peaceful ideas. The picture taken with a simple background reinforces / reflects how women are considered to be more simple than men of the main idea in society while the magazine was created.

The Word of the Word is not organized but also merges.
The type is friendly

The purplish color has feminine expressions. Binary opposition to yellow.

White teeth have a healthy meaning.

colour choice is soft and unthreatening

Adbusters

Deliberately challenged the image. Its childish defacing. This defacing plays on the ideology that nothing is too high up to take down. Banksy Drawing of Policeman snorting cocaine. This is know as detournement. It is a form of high-jacking or re-routing. It is more commonly seen as Culture Jamming. Culture jamming is often obsessed with the idea of destructing consumerism/capitalism. Culture jamming - the practise of criticising and subverting advertising and consumerism in the mass media, by methods such as producing advertisements parodying those of global brands.

Adbusters uses a lot of negative white space which connotes purity but directly contrasts with the image shown on the background. Masthead changes every time. Every magazine cover is unique which shows they are challenging. There is no reference to anything that is inside. No...

Attitude Online - Thursday 14th March

The difference between the representations of men in the online and the print version of this magazine is that the online magazine shows men as being more buff which paints an unrealistic expectation of gay men to have these body types. Print cover has a gay man with a moustache which is an intertextual reference to Freddie Mercury. The print cover positions the audience as a gay man who has had problems with bullying from 'jocks' in the past. He is wearing a US Army Costume which may be used to appeal to an international audience. The femininity of the camp hand on hip gesture is a convention that is specific to the gay magazine genre. He is breaking the fourth wall with the direct mode of address with the look into the camera. It presents the gay male on the front as androgynous which he clearly isn't but this is a form of anchorage. If somebody is a closet-gay then they can view the website so that they don't have to buy to magazine. It may be a way to reduce the...
