Front Page & Double page semiotic analysis 

  • The first noticeable aspect of the front page is the aesthetically pleasing contrast of colours , with the black and white image of Kate Moss taking up the entirety of the page and the bright Pink masthead and white text.
  • The image of Kate Moss indicates that this magazine is high end and mainstream as Kate Moss is an incredibly famous fashion model who is recognisable globally.
  • As an audience we can see that this issue is special and celebratory through the icon of 25 and the text explaining it's an anniversary , perhaps explaining the appearance of Kate Moss.
  • However the fact Kate Moss is on the front page is made to be a huge deal as her name is only simply placed in white medium sized text at the bottom of the page

  • The headline of article is constructed to be the largest piece of text on the page 
  • - the white text with black outline and black blocked text creates a very stylish and chic design on the page , perhaps influenced by Italian designs as Italy is know for its style and chicness
  • The design of the entire article is aesthetically pleasing and stylish through the basic and classic black , the white and grey colour scheme constructs a house style of the magazine a fits it general creative design.
  • There's a unique and different style of layout on the article ; we are given an insight in the designers perhaps of the models clothing and the small to large sizing constructs a shift of focus from one model to the next.
  • The article is targeted for readers who are interested in the modelling , fashion and design industry ( why there is a list of fashion designers )  
  • - this is represented through the models posing and modelling for what seems to be a campaign

Music Video Analysis- Sativa by Jhené Aiko ft. Rae Sremmurd   (Def Jam) First opening 30 seconds of the video the mise - en -scene of the atmosphere , holographic keyboard and digital image of a female body , connotes imagery of an 'out of this world' experience and futuristic setting. - Paired with the lyrics later on the audience can conclude the characters and artists are denoting that they are high on a drug substance. ( ' I'm so high in here, been smokin' on this weed ) - additional to this analysis the name of the song 'Sativa' is a name for a form of cannabis - connoting that the purpose of the song and video is about being on drugs and joining the ' out of this world' head space. The Red Led lighting creates a sexual romantic atmosphere alongside the close up shots of the artists body and legs in the water , a common convention of R&B music where women are presented with minimal clothing and are usually seen as objects of desire. ...
Music Video Analysis - Heavy, California by Jungle  -(XL Recordings)  Mise-en-scene-   Setting is in a field amongst a plain of bright green grass and underneath a pale blue sky which seems as if it is due to set. - this setting evokes a sense of freedom and liberation through the wide space and plain open sky. The collective artists are dancing to the song rather than conventionally lip syncing - clear the the audience that the band are quirky and hold a different image and style - suited for a group from an independent record label  They are also dancing in sync connoting uniformity within each other but not the rest of society  The clothing the artists are wearing have neutral colours and a loose fitting - again evoking a sense of freedom , this could connote that the reject restriction from the world and societies structures  Sound-  The song has a smooth , soulful beat - reflective of the...
