Visual Messages For Meaning In Media

Many artists explore their personal journeys within their artworks, as a way of understanding their emotions and the world around them, as well as discovering their identity. Sarah Fordham’s art is inspired by her experiences including her travels around the world, and also as a way to make sense of her thoughts, ideas and emotions. These elements are displayed in bright colours, incorporating symbols and patterns in her work. Her two artworks being analysed are called “The Big Call” and “Pokeepskie”.

A composer can create images dependant on the form of the language of texts to shape a responders understanding of the ideas and themes prompted by people and their experiences. The German film, ‘Run Lola Run’ written and directed by Tom Tykwer, focuses on the experiences of the protagonist Lola to explore the themes of the inevitable force of time, and the issue of freewill verses determinism. Similarly, Dorothea Mackellar, in her poem ‘My Country’, relies on her experiences of the Australian landscape to convey her love and passion for the country using the language of the distinctive visual.

Through distinctive images composers develop interest, drawing the responder in and thus providing insight into the experiences of others. This is demonstrated in Amanda Lohrey’s novella ‘Vertigo’ as Luke and Anna find themselves in a new and disorientating environment as they attempt to build a new life and in the ‘The Red Tree’ composed by Shaun Tan, through the nameless girl’s journey as she attempts to find herself and her place in the world. Meaning created by distinctive images creates interest thus permitting the responder to gain a greater understanding on how the experiences help shape one’s self.

Texts are composed with the purpose to suggest ideas that are of interest to the responder and convey their composer’s self-expression through his or her creative devices, such as image. The Truman show and the related text are very apt examples of how these images can be very engaging so that the responder’s understanding of the ideas being illustrated is shaped and perceptions are often challenged.

The use of distinctively visual images allows an audience to perceive and distinguish the composer’s specific representation. From these distinctive visuals, the audience’s perceptions force them to respond in a particular way. In ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’, Ang Lee utilises a range of film techniques to position his audience through a combination of quiet, dramatic scenes and choreographed action sequences. In his painting, ‘Third of May, 1808’ Fransisco Goya conveys meaning exclusively with distinctively visual techniques. Both the composers are able to effectively convey their message and

Run Lola Run is a film not based in a particular place or country, more of a cityscape, although some audience members may recognize the scenes as ones representing Berlin, Germany. Throughout the film Tom Tykwer the film's director, shows a wide variety of editing and camera techniques giving the film an alternative feel rather than a commercialised one. A few of Tykers many technques include close ups, establishing shots accompanied with a bird's eye view, flash backs, fast paced editing and to counter flashbacks the use of flash forwards.

Returning to Benjamin, he writes that, “Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space” (Benjamin II) which corroborates the speaker of the poem’s stance that, “Meaning takes place in time” (Solie 38). Although Benjamin’s thoughts focus more on the ubiquity and lack of authenticity that occurs with mass image production and reproduction, “Bitumen” shares some of these concerns, tracing the development of modern proliferation of images from the first imagining techniques of Joseph-Nicéphore Niépce, to the “photochrome postcards” (32) of late 19th century, up to video- sharing websites. The speaker of “Bitumen” looks to construct a timeline of image mediation alongside the aestheticization of catastrophe. Even calamitous weather events, which “Bitumen” ties to the “unseasonable” (34) weather that results from global warming, becomes a sublime, photogenic spectacle with the ubiquity and quotidian character of modern image and film: “tornados on YouTube relieve us of our boredom” (“Bitumen” 33). The speaker of “Bitumen” argues that these mediations pacify rather than invigorate, and replace what should be fear and action with awe and

In this essay the following contemporary painters are going to be examined: Marlene Dumas, Wendy Sharpe, and Euan Macleod. Besides, I will analyse the ways in which these artists engages in dialogue with current social or cultural concerns, focusing on specific ways that the medium influences the effectiveness of visual communication.

With a picture, it’s a little easier (compared to film) to distil its meaning. There is just one frame or scene to analyse, the “image text” being the message it is trying to convey.

This essay will discuss the definition of semiotics and how semiotics is used in the experimental film, Runner. The study of how meaning occurs in language, pictures, performance and other forms of expression. (Tomaselli, 1996) This discussion will have reference to the cinematography, sound, editing, performance and styling design in the experimental project and the methods used to create meaning with the specific discipline. The discussion will include the extent to which absurdism is incorporated into Runner.

Showing is an enhanced version of telling. In writing, showing helps the audience to picture the situation through the use of descriptive details. The purpose of showing is to evoke a powerful emotion in the readers, so they can clearly understand the situation from either a specific character's perspective or the author’s perspective.

In “Sotto Voce”, digital imagery, kinetic lines, and music combine to create a lush, poetic experience that transcends traditionally written work. Divided into six segments, “Sotto Voce “presents the reader with various speakers who comment on incredibly poignant experiences of life in an urban setting. Through her use of an engaging and unorthodox art form, author Zahra Safavian manages to capture the tragic restlessness of aging and the loud beauty of public places.

Is it possible for words on a page to become a painting in the mind? After plunging into Adrienne Rich’s “Diving into the Wreck,” it is apparent that words on a page can come to life in the mind of the readers. Rich uses a vast amount of describing words, and a setting of a scuba diver to allow readers the ability to acknowledge and understand the difficulties life may imply upon humankind. Throughout the next few paragraphs, it is evident that certain elements of poems can become a large factor in allowing the reader to get more out of a poem, rather than just words on a page.

Why I prepared a visual: ideas of my undertaking is definitely gained from film "Stranger Than Fiction" which has contained masses of topics consisting of love (romance), human instinct, critic of actual international, all of these dramatic (cinematic) aspects can be associated with our lives within the actual existence that 's complete of adversities specially originated from relationship among people.

It is a known fact that human's capacity to see and hold information is restricted. All the time we recollect just parts of the message we have seen. A few things are recalled obviously while others go by without leaving any impression. Maybe parts of the message are misconstrued, and that which is best held might be some irrelevant subtle elements. These circumstances are mostly caused by human's restricted capacity to see and process data, and incompletely by the route in which data is introduced. To encourage discernment, image introduction must be adjusted to man. Expanded learning of what encourages data transmission or what renders it troublesome - is in this manner of awesome significance. This is what we are going to investigate
