whoops all notes got deleted sub to sub, act to act, mom to mom, sub to sub x3 SCOTT MCCLOUD:
Gutter between comic panels allows our brain to connect images. Our brain fills in images therefore we are more engaged with the comic and story. 1) moment to moment- doesnt need much thought 2) action to action- 3) subject to subject- stays within a scene or idea, reader needs to think to interpret it 4) scene to scene- deductive reasoning needed, significant distances of space and time 5) aspect to aspect- no time, parts of the same space or mood 6) non sequitur- no relation between panels.

linguistic message- tag line, non coded and coded readings of it French ad- linguistic message-coded non coded image message- coded non coded anchorage frame of reference (wwwwh) tag line- pasta, sauce, parmesan, Italian luxury, font- looks traditional because its old. looks like the font on a restaurant sign. sounds fancy, Image- bag feels spontaneous, contents spilling but the brand names all face the camera. red, white and small bits of green. food+logos fall from top left to bottom right and leads eye to tag line. items are in the same order as the tag line. arranged like a still life. cultural stereotype, Italian through a French lens upper middle class shoppers, French, in a magazine, 1960's new fragrance tells us nothing but its new. its selling Jennifer Lawrence more than the perfume hopefully it doesnt smell like chlorine water. some symbolism with dior being placed in the center of joy. staged looking photo, perfect makeup, hair wet and slicked back in an unnatural way. random superimposed bottle at the bottom. fresh, youthful, perfect, feminine, WI ad, issue 114 march 2021:
The ad is targeted towards middle aged or old woman. Clearly shown by the model, the large, easy to read font and the easy to read information down the side. The lady looks friendly and casual, mug in one hand with the other in her pocket. Gives off a nice vibe, wont be scaring the grandkids when they come to visit. Everything is blue, another calm colour. *according to google* Blue is a colour that inspires trust and stability, its also very calming. Definitely something an old woman would appreciate. The blue is more than likely aiming for the calm, trusting angle rather than the masculine angle. Orange price circles *according to google* orange can create a feeling of caution but can also be fun and cheerful. Its opposite to the blue, making the price stand out. It apparently also inspires impulse buyers, added to by the savings indicated in the circles. plane of expression- type faces can change how a word is perceived zuzus petals? its a wonderful life (film) finds petals from a flower his daughter gave him? anchorage, most images come with words to help explain (the comic reading) word specific, image specific, dual message, interdependent/convergent, parallel/divergent. newspaper image with different captions completely changes the story of the image. denotation- primary meaning conotation- things you can pick up on (production or intertextuaity, linking with other texts) 'this is not a pipe' but its a painting of a pipe but its just a painting and therefore not a pipe
cursive handwitting font. no question mark, its a statement pipe- 1920s, smoking was cool signature- value, ownership, anti theft conotation - Freud and his cigars realistically painted, easy to figure out what it is. the blank background brings attention to the fact it isnt real. bogstandard pipe, would probably be smoked by a dude on his work break or an old man. dont assume it would be a woman (une is feminine) need both the image and words for it to make sense Anchorage: Using words with an image to reinforce the meaning of the image. Helps stop misconceptions. Used in magazines and newspaper captions eg; that riot photo with a negative caption that was actually the dude asking for help. Denotation and connotation: What the word literally means. What words can imply or make you think of. Intertextuality: Texts can be influenced by each other. Technically all fanfiction is an example of this. structuralist- nurture. essentialism-nature. semiotics-schemas lang construcs our view of the world, same word means diff things all over the world. feminists in the 70s/80s, language is very male centered exchange of minds, mutual understanding to co-operate symbolic signs, word dog doesnt resemble a dog but you visualize a dog signifier + signified = sign initial impulse(word, seeing) + in brain(mental concept) myth-propagate cultural stereotypes, social norms 1- big daddy is flashy and popular, sparkly outfit, bigger movements to get more out of the crowd, more cheering giant haystacks isnt popular, less over the top movements, gets booed, dressed in browns. 2- commentator reads stats and says nonsense about their actions 3- ref checks if theyre hugging correctly and gets in the way, riles up both the audience and fighters 4- crowd cheers when big daddy gets hits and boos and sounds worried when haystacks is on top 5- its closer to theatre than sport.
