Main Task: Double Page Spread Textual Analysis

Denotation:

This is an example a double page spread. It consists of a image taking up the whole left side of a band called ‘Rolo Tomassi’. The image shows what appears to be them attacking someone in a rabbit suit showing superiority and authority. It breaks the typical expectations of an image for a band which therefore makes it more endearing and powerful.

Lighting:

The lighting for the image is fairly high key, as we can see everything that’s going on without any dark spaces or areas.

Costume:

They al seem to be wearing fairly casual clothes including stripy shirts and t-shirts, plain t-shirts and dark denim jeans. This agrees with the stereotype of the way young adults dress for this style of music being fairly indie. It also shows that they might not be as wealthy as some of the other famous artists and bands out there of today’s generation.

Props:

The only prop I can see I this image is the carrot that he rabbit being held on the floor which is the typical object you expect to see with a rabbit being that the eat them.

Setting:

The setting for this image has been kept simple to keep the focus on the actual people themselves with a simple grey background.

NVC (Non-Verbal Communication):

The NVC in this image shows them as attacking someone in a rabbit costume, one laughing, one looking angry, one laughing and the girl smiling while holding the rabbits ears, this connotes power and authority for the band.

Target Audience:

I think the target audience for this page would be 17-25 year olds, as the people themselves seem quite young and with the colour scheme and the modern look it allows it to appeal to the younger audience.
