Media Vocabulary

In our first few weeks in media with have been taught many important words helping us analyse work.

Another way to distance our analysis is to break down the elements of text into "signs"
we can break into two levels of analysis:
Denotation- Describe what you see
connotation-Discuss what the element means
Semiotics- meaning the study of signs
signifier-the object in the picture
signified- the impressions(such as expressions) of that object in the picture
sign- combination of signifier and signified

Photography Composition and Image Manipulation

Composition:

Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.

Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.

In Photoshop we have learnt how to manipulate images to create a unique and new poster idea. We have learnt how to cut out images from a different picture and incorperate that image into the poster to create a certain effect. Then we had to change the the pasted pictures colour to blend into the original picture.
