Main Task: Double page spread textual analysis


Headline:
The Headline is pretty basic, as it is the same font as the normal text, but in a larger font.
Mise en scene:
Character: The cover photograph is of the young MC wittybot. He is dressed in "urban" or "street" clothing. He also seems to be thinking.
Composition:
Whittboy is leaning more than standing, against a car park wall which connotes that he is laidback, relaxed. His head is bowed down an he seems to be looking at the floor, although not concentrating on it. This would suggest that he is in deep thought, maybe about his career.

The photo takes up the whole double page spread, and the setting of the photo seems to be a small carpark/lot and the lighting is fairly bright. The text is seperated into columns, and each column of text is placed upon a biege box. Over-all, this double page spread has a basic layout/look.

*Costume: His costume is a mainly black hoodie, dark navy jeans with the bottoms folded up, flat trainers (which resemble vans) and a baseball cap. This costume was most probably selected by the subject to connote his proffesion/lifestlye.
*Props:
*Setting: The setting is in a carlot/park.
*Lighting: The lighting is bright, as it has been taken during the day. This gives a natural feel to the picture.
*NVC: His NVC suggests...

3. Anchorage: words that help ‘anchor’ the meaning of pictures.
