The Gentlewoman: Language and Representation blog tasks

August 25, 2024

Close-textual analysis Work through the following tasks to complete your close-textual analysis of the Gentlewoman CSP pages: Gentlewoman front cover 1) What do the typefaces used on the front cover suggest to an audience? The typefaces such as the masthead which spells out "the gentlewoman" which is all spelt in lower case sans-serif typography reflects the modern look and reflects the values and attitudes of their magazine which can suggest to an audience that they are different to other magazine covers and don't want to follow how traditional magazines are shown. 2) How does the cover subvert conventional magazine cover design?

Audience Look at this YouGov blog on the console gaming audience and answer the following questions: 1) What statistics can you find for the number of male / female players for the major consoles?

Reading an image - media codes

October 03, 2023

1) Analyse this RBK 50 Cent advert using the media codes you learned in the lesson: Technical, Written or verbal, Symbolic or non-verbal, Narrative. Write a paragraph for each one exploring the way meanings are created using those media codes. Technical codes The use of the close up shot of 50 Cent's face shows the look of seriousness and determination as he is looking straight at the camera and looking at his audience which shows direct address. The use of the low key lighting represents that we can't see much of 50 Cent's face in the image which can show mysteriousness and secrecy as in the picture he doesn't give much away. The use of the black and white filter on 50 Cent's face can connote that he's having a flashback of his past and reminiscing on what happened. Written or verbal codes The use of the anchorage text such as all the o's being coloured in can connote some background of 50 Cents life as all the o's that are...
