The Wire - Front Page&Double page semiotic Analysis the masthead is bold and the largest piece of text amongst the entire front page which attracts the audience to what they're reading.                          → the neutral colour of the white front in front of the grey toned blue background creates a subtle and minimalist house style with a relaxed nature. Issued October 2013 The simplistic house-style of the front cover is also a reflection of Matana Roberts and her image/style. she is an artist of the Jazz genre who's a saxophonist , vocalist and composer. The mise-en-scene of her image and style is also a reflection her niche music , through her grudge and edgy aesthetic with her dreadlocks and nose piercing. this look isn't one of a mainstream 'pop' artist who has to follow a particular look to fit their representation The large spacing between her name makes it stand...

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.

Music Video Analysis - Hello By Adele         - ( XL Recordings)  The  mise-en-scene in the opening shot is of a dirty window sill , covered in dead flies - this evokes a sense of neglect perhaps connoting the artists mindset and emotions.
