Preliminary Task: Front Cover Textual Analysis

This magazine front cover stands out to me the most because of all the different colours and images.

This magazine front cover is divided into 4. To me it seems like 4 different cultures. I can see people, buildings and animals.

In the centre of the front cover their is a face of a lady which is divided into 4. The top left and bottom right are two different shades of blue and the top right and bottom left are two different shades of brown.

The image in the top left has a lady with a red flower in her hair and a red bush with red flowers growing from it, their is also a brown shelter in the background. I think this is a warm country like Jamacia.

The image in the top right has some blue buildings and also has the face of a lady init. To the right of that image their is a fancy design of a white bird with red flowers around it. Which is in contrast to the blue backgroung it is against. To the left of the image their is a red lantern with writing on it. I think this is an image to make u think of chine hence the lady and the chinese eriting on the lantern.

In the bottom right their is a lady who is wearing clothing with a pattern on it, she is wearing a matching head scarf. She is carrying a pot on her head and their is a zebra on the left side of the image. This image makes me think of africa.

The image in the bottom left looks a lot simpler than all the other images. I can see water and some kind of boat floating on top of it. In the background i can see mountains.
On that same image it says 'understanding other cultures, understanding ourselves: Anthropology and the legacy of Margaret Mead '23'.

Overall from looking at this cover i think that it is about culture hence four different images and the sentance, understanding other cultures, understanding ourselves.

Induction: Movie poster Textual Analysis

When I look at this image I see a man standing on steps with fire behind him. He look like an adventurer on an adventure.

Mise en scene

Lighting

This image has both high and low key lighting.

Costume

A image of a man on an adventure. Saffari clothes, something dangerous, old historic patterns, mystery, archelogiest. He is wearing safari clothing, his clother look lose, they look a little dirty so that gives me the impression that he has worn them for a long time, his sleves are rolled up.

Props

The whip he is holding which is his signiture weapon and his utility belt.

Setting

It look like it is set underground in a cave somewhere with an ancient historic past due to the ancient looking patens.

NVC

He looks like he is fready to fight, hence a clenched fist, his posture, agressive, dominant, powerful, strong, not a push over.

Introduction-Creation of a movie magazine front cover

This is the magazine front cover that I was given by my teacher. Advertising Iron Man 2 at the empire. It has the date of the issued magazine and it also has some information about some other movies that are coming out soon. This image also has lightning bolts coming out of the word empire.














This was the image I was given by my teacher to manipulate to look like the original one that he gave me.

















This is my final outcome. It was a little tricky because I could not find the exact font. I was not sure at first of how to get the word empire behind iron man's head but then i duplicated the layer, placed it on top of the layer that I was working on and then used the magic erase tool to erase that part of the background.
