Creating Meaning

-
 Wednesday 22nd of September 
Lo: To analyse texts using the correct terminology 

Subject Position 
-Our subject position is everything that goes to make up what we are and where we fit in the world. 
-My subject position is a female, 13 years old, white, straight, lives in Bodmin/Cornwall, play hockey.


This magazine cover is for people who are into fashion, makeup and models, 
but people who aren't into them sort of stuff it wont appeal to them and they will find it boring. 









Denotation- The dictionary definition 
Connotation- The deeper meaning, what we associate with the word. 
e.g 
Rose- denotation 
love, passion, romance, death - connotation 

1- Denote- gun 
Connote- injury, death, danger, violence, criminals, murder, police 
2. Denote- clown 
Connote-  Circus, entertainment, killer, horror, funny 
3. Denote- Thor
 Connote- actor, powerful, superhero, avengers, lightening, hammer, death, force 

This film poster portrays horror because in the picture it has a shadow of a girl hanging herself on an old tree that looks dead. This shows that there is death and violence in this movie as the dead leaves lying on the ground surgests that it is coming into winter making the cover act cold. How the house is positioned in the background with fog around it makes it look haunted and abandoned, also how the girl is hanging in the shadow makes us feel like she was possessed.

Wednesday 12th January  Lo: to explore the different features of iMovie & experiment with different genre features  family/comedy- horror I chose toy story trailer 4 which is a comedy and fiction film into a horror genre by changing the music, catchy suspense text, using fade to black endings of each scene to create a new different genre of the trailer.  WWW: used the scary scenes to make it seem worse , as well as graphics.
