Representation- Nicki Minaj

-






1. Nicki Minaj is having an interview with ELLE.
2. There a picture of her in the centre of the magazine cover and lots of coverlines which suggests it is about her.
3. It is grasping and makes the reader want to see what Nicki Minaj has to say in her interview. (fashion genre)
4. By using certain words and phrases, this is achieved.
5. Backgrounded is a blank screen to make everything show much clearer, Nicki Minaj is foregrounded.
6. No.



















1. The magazine covers, as Nicki Minaj wouldn't have asked them to publish this.
2. It interests many people and this is because the photo used is quite a provocative one, which will catch readers eyes if they are in store.
3. Young woman, as they will aspire to look something like how Nicki Minaj looks in this picture.
4. It shows that she is trying to show off and put herself out there so she can try and get recognition.
5. It could mean that they may feel sad that they also don't look this way and it will be quite presurising for some girls/ women.
6. Most people will look at this and be stunned by the photo on the front, and they will be attracted to it, according to Barthes codes.

    John again - this post is lacking depth - it seems rushed and done just for the sake of doing it, not applying yourself to the task.

    It is also not even peer assessed??? Meaning you have missed out on some hints you might have used to improve this response?

    What were you doing while we were peer assessing?

    YOU WILL NEED TO COMPLETE THESE QUESTIONS AGAIN - AT WHICH POINT I WILL LOOK OVER IT FOR YOU.

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
