Vogue

-



Layout/composition- she is in the centre of the picture and she is covering almost the entire page, this is so she is seen and has caught everyones attention.

 Masthead- there is only small amounts of mastheads and this is so it is not realised by the readers, the main thing that VOGUE wanted to be seen is the picture of the woman.



Cover lines- there are no cover lines in this image, this is to maximise the visual image of the woman
Font size, type, colour etc.- the main colour in this image is green and this symbolises new life and a fresh start, and this could be what they were trying to get at, it could be a new season for VOGUE. There is little font to maximise the picture.
Images/ photographs- there is an image of a woman who represents a whole different range of religions by the type of things which you tend to see different religions wear. They have dressed her up and have tried to make the reader what to buy it as they are happy with what they see
Mise-en-scene- her costume is very clever, as it will attract different people from a whole different range
Language/ Anchorage- there isn't much visual language which is needed to be commented on.

Vance Joyce- Riptide, Is this video Post Modernism?

Is this music video postmodern? Postmodern media rejects the idea that any media product or text is of any greater value than another. All judgements of value are merely taste.  Anything can be art, anything can deserve to reach an audience, and culture ‘eats itself’ as there is no longer anything new to produce or distribute.  The distinction between media and reality has collapsed, and we now live in a ‘reality’ defined by images and representations – a state of simulacrum. Images refer to each other and represent each other as reality rather than some ‘pure’ reality that exists before the image represents it – this is the state of hyper-reality.  All ideas of ‘the truth’ are just competing claims – or discourses and what we believe to be the truth at any point is merely the ‘winning’ discourse.  Postmodernism is also said to reflect modern society's feelings of alienation , insecurity and uncertainties concerning identity, history, progress and truth, and the break-up o

Vance Joyce- Riptide, Codes and Conventions

Code and Conventions of Indie folk: Every music genre has various codes and conventions which are followed when creating music videos. With regards to camerawork there is a frequent use of long shots, which show the artist playing an instrument; establishing shots and shots of scenery (for example country side etc.) and close-ups of the artists. In terms of miss-enscene, lighting is varied - ambient lighting or fairy lights/lanterns are also used - the lighting choices usually match the mood of the song; the choice of clothing is usually fairly mainstream/normal, this varies from pop music as artists usually dress up with this genre. Editing for indie folk music videos is usually described as 'subtle', soft focuses are used often and are predominately used on the artists' face and the location and videos usually end with a fade to black. In terms of general codes and conventions, there may not be a strong link between lyrics and imagery but there is a m
