MIGRAIN: Reading an image💕


1) Analyse this RBK 50 Cent advert using the key media language you learned today: denotation, connotation, colour, pose, framing, composition, size, type of shot, subject matter, setting, lighting.



In this RBK 50 cent print advert ,The direct eye contact illustrates the seriousness and demonstration that he may have. The sense of determination is also emphasised through the text on the top right hand corner which could imply that the Reebok brand allows people to have firmness of power. Furthermore as an audience we have a military feel for this advert which is shown through the cap hes wearing, Which is in a camouflage print and typically people that are in the army wear camouflage and people that participate themselves in the army have their head strong and are very serious. This could suggest his message is as vital as what the military portrays. The typography in the line "i am what i am" is in bold and bigger than the rest of the text on the advert. This could imply that 50 cent has gone through a rough childhood and now hes presented by Reebok. The font being bigger could also emphasise its importance and that 50 stands for who he is and proud of who he has become. The fingerprints give this advert a scary feel as it could suggest someones done something wrong like committing a murder.



This print advert includes celebrity endorsement : Ariana Grande. Her facial expressions may suggest that shes powerful and confident while using this product. The typography also promotes if you use this product you are "playful , timeless and confident". This is a very effective way to advertise this product as consumers are more likely to buy it if their favourite celebrity has created and consuming the product its more desirable to them. Ariana is a very confident and talented individual so this advert may connote consumers would want to purchase this as they may believe this perfume plays a part to her personality. The use of high key lighting and the close up shot also enhances her pose and defines her features.

Introduction to Feminism

  Everyday Sexism Watch the Everyday Sexism TED talk from Laura Bates (linked above) and answer the following questions: 1) Why did Laura Bates start the Everyday Sexism project? The reason Laura Bates started the Everyday Sexism project is because she has been sexually harassed multiple times and when she spoke up about it, everyone saw this as normal and wondered why she was making a big deal out of it. Its then after when people realise that behaviour is really  inappropriate.  2) How does the Everyday Sexism project link to the concept of post-feminism? Is feminism still required in western societies? The Everyday Sexism project links very well to the concept of post-feminism as it helps support women and helps them speak up about their experiences. I think feminism is still required in the western societies as not everything is balanced between men and women e.g. majority of builders are men and there are not many female builders around.  3) Why was new technolo...
