NEA Part 2 - Intertextuality in the media


In this post, i am going to be looking at how media texts add intertextuality and the meaning behind it. From this, i can add my own into my media text.



How and why is intertextuality employed in 2 media products and what effect does this have in their intended audience?

The intertextuality of this media text changes the way the audience reads it as a visual text. The media text shows one of the most famous black man carrying a white woman. We can also see similarities between the magazine, a well known image of King Kong carrying off Fay Wray and as well as an army enlist poster. From the intertextuality we can understand the true meaning of having the models positioned in that way. The clothes of the models are exactly the same as well as the position that they are in.

In this magazine, we can see a resemblance to Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn is a very well known figure that most people can recognise . The use of the intertextuality can make the intended audience believe that Kate Moss wants the respect that Marilyn Monroe has as an independent woman.

 In this magazine, we can see look a likes of Marilyn Monroe and Kennedy. Marilyn Monroe is known as one of the most popular sex-symbols of the 1950s. It was said that John F Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe was allegedly having an affair. 

 In my magazine i intend to use intertextuality so that the audience can understand the meaning behind my ideas. For example, i can use references from famous movies that kids have watched e.g Star Wars, Toy Story, Finding Nemo or Frozen.

NEA BRIEFS

K: The requirements for each of the briefs set by OCR. U: How to approach the chosen brief, including writing the statement of intent. BAT: Choose a brief and start planning what to write in the statement of intent. CO: Use media terminology (all areas of the theoretical framework) in your written and verbal communication. I chose Brief 1, where we have to create a front cover and a double page spread article for an informative educational magazine aimed at an audience of 10-13 year old.  While working on this, i want to develop more of my Photoshop skills. I want to learn how to add different parts of pictures into one to form an image altogether that fits my magazine theme. I already know the basic outline of a magazine and how it should be laid out. I know a few photography skills so i can apply that to my magazine when choosing images to add into it. ——————————- Mind Map created by Ellie Chan with GoConqr ———————————

NEA Part 6 - Product Style Profile

In this post i will be learning the importance of sketching and planning my magazine. I believe that sketching is important as the sketches will influence my stylistic decisions and reflect my final product piece. DRAFT 1 The above images are a first draft of the magazine cover and double page spread. I asked the opinions of other students who gave back positive and negative feedback. They said that the cover page was too messy and crowded so the reader cannot focus on the main story. Therefore on my next draft i need to have less individual stories. As well as this, on my double page spread the pictures and text are all over the place. To improve this i must keep my pictures on one side instead of alternating them.    DRAFT 2 In my second draft, overall i got positive feedback but there were some improvements needed. On the cover page, the title should be bigger in order for the audience to read it and catch their attention. As well on my double pa...
