Narrative - Every Picture Tells A Story
This week, you have a research task.
Find a dramatic photograph which contains a narrative that you can deconstruct.
ie - the photograph has to contain or suggest
- characters
- equilibrium, disequilibrium, new equilibrium
- binary opposition
and you must be able to list some of the technical codes and symbolic codes. We will work on these in class next week so DO NOT FORGET TO BRING THEM TO THE LESSON.
You can try looking in
- magazines
- books
- newspapers
and the following websites:
Try to get as good quality an image as you can - you will be analysing the details so you need a high quality, high resolution image of a reasonable size. Tearing one out of a magazine is the easiest way to do this.
You should also begin revising for your first media exam which will be held next week.
This will test your understanding of the work we have done so far and will involve you analysing a previously unseen media text. You will need to revise all the terminology you have learned, and check that you understand and can write about media texts in relation to
- audience
- the production process
- genre
- narrative
